Sliding Scale

all deserve access to yoga’s healing gifts

We are so grateful that we are able to share yoga with so many dedicated students, regardless of their ability to pay. Ability to pay should never be a factor in one’s ability to access yoga’s teachings. To apply for free or reduced-fee classes with us, including our $5-$7 sliding scale pass, please print and complete the form below. Once you collect all supporting documents, please mail the form and supporting documents to us at 1910 14th St NW, Washington DC 20009. We do not recommend emailing us your application due to standard digital privacy concerns. We will not share your information with any third parties or organizations.
