Pay What You Can

As a nonprofit, Pawling Yoga and Wellness uses a Pay What You Can pricing model to help everyone in our community, regardless of financial need, access our health and holistic wellness services. 

Choosing Your Price 

When you register for a class, you can input any amount between $1 and $22. When you register for a workshop, you can choose from one of three price options. 

  • Top range: The highest option for the workshop, or $22 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 $10-$21 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. 

  • Lower range: The lowest price for a workshop, or $1-$9 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.org.
