Your heart is the home of your innate wisdom. Yoga practice trains and develops clarity of discernment; once honed the heart’s capacities are endless. And the heart naturally cares, not out of obligation, but out of the organic experience of oneness that resides deep within each of us.

With pay from your heart, we name the recommended rates for each offering. This rate comes from a place within our hearts as we lovingly discern what feels like the right amount to charge for an offering, based on what our inner guidance says as well as the general market value. We then invite you to pay that recommended rate if you can and to ask your heart the right amount to pay, (less or more) considering your unique relationship to Shraddhā Yoga and your financial circumstances.

Any time that you pay more than the recommended amount, you’ll be directly supporting those who can’t afford that rate. And anytime you pay less, you get to receive and know that you are fully welcome. If you can’t financially afford the recommended rate and choose to pay less, you can also propose another type of exchange, ask for a payment plan or pay it forward at a later date if the means to arrives.

Yoga is a practice of inquiry into the many layers of “self”, which includes the profound wisdom and integrity of your radiant heart.  Every interaction in life is an opportunity to practice yoga, and this payment model invites you to expand the scope of your yoga practice into the realm of finances — a rich field for growth and self-realization. It is “the yoga of money”. Where we engage in self-study (svadhyaya), as we examine giving and taking. Self-protection, scarcity, abundance, generosity, non-hoarding (aparigraha), trust, faith (shraddha), receiving, and more can arise as we delve into the “yoga of money”.

When we ask our hearts how much is the “right amount” to give, we are practicing yoga. Seeking right relationship will always bring us closer to freedom and truth.

What to consider when deciding what to pay for a class pass, workshop, immersion, teacher training or a monthly contribution:

1. How do you personally benefit from your relationship with Shraddhā Yoga? How often do you take classes?

2. What’s the recommended rate? Is that rate manageable given your financial resources? Could you meet the rec rate with a payment plan paid out over time? What is your unique financial reality?

3. How much do you value Shraddhā Yoga’s contribution to the greater community? The more you give, the more we all receive.

4. What do you value the offering at?

From the gratitude that we at Shraddhā Yoga have for all we have been given, we give back and support various aspects of Indian culture and society.
