All are Welcome
Our mission is to serve the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our neighbors in Pawling and surrounding communities by offering a safe, inclusive space for wellness practices, education, and community-building.
We welcome all individuals and provide these services and classes regardless of individual financial circumstances.
Pay What You Can
When you register for a class or workshop at Pawling Yoga and Wellness, you’ll see a dropdown menu with several pricing options. You can choose which amount is appropriate for you. When you register for a class, you can choose any price to pay between $1 and $25. When you register for a workshop, you can choose from one of three options.
As a nonprofit, we use a Pay What You Can pricing model to help everyone in our community access our health and holistic wellness services, regardless of financial need.
Pay It Forward
If you have the means, we always welcome donations to help others access our classes and services.
Choosing Your Price
Top Range
The highest option for the workshop, or $25 for a single class, reflects the true cost of the service—that is, the price that a studio without a sliding scale would charge to cover expenses and pay teachers appropriately. Please note: This price is not paying “extra”; it’s the fair market value for the class or service.
We recommend paying this price if: you are financially secure, have personal savings, or own property. You would pay for a similar experience at this price point elsewhere without worrying about how it would impact your ability to spend money on other things.
Middle range
The middle option for a workshop, or $12-$25 for a class, is a discounted price that does not fully cover the costs of running the class or service.
We recommend paying this price if: you have access to steady income and your basic needs are met, but are working to pay off debt or build savings. While paying for this class might mean you have to cut back on things like going out to dinner or buying new clothes, it won’t harm you in the long term.
Low range
The lowest price for a workshop, or $0-$11 for a class, is a further discounted price that does not cover the costs of running the class or service.
We recommend paying this price if: you have access to basic needs, but your financial situation feels tenuous. You would have to save up for many months to be able to afford a higher price point.
Please note: We are committed to welcoming all members of our community to our studio. If the lowest price is still out of reach for you, please email gabrielle@pawlingyogawellness.
Note: Our pricing model is inspired by Green Bottle Model from Worts + Cunning and Doctor Blossom.
