Listen to a podcast of this post on Cinch.
Yoga in New York City is an expensive hobby, too expensive in my opinion. That’s why I started Compass Yoga and developed a business model of donating 20% of the class fees to the nonprofit of the student’s choice and giving the student the tax-deduction. Good for students. Good for nonprofits. Good for me. Win-win-win. I’m not going to get rich from Compass Yoga; I started it because I really want to give people a way to have the benefits of yoga without a pain to their finances.
Even though I’m a yoga instructor, I love going to class. Going to class gives me so many ideas and it really inspires me to try new sequences, intentions, adjustments, and even new ways of phrasing my explanations of different yoga postures. My friend Courtney (an amazing yogi and founder of Moonshine Yoga) told me about an amazing resource for people who want to try different types of yoga at an incredible price – the Yoga Passbook. Available for New York City, Chicago, Houston, and LA, the Yoga Passbook provides 425 passes to yoga, pilates, and dance studios for $75. The Passbook is good from January 1st through December 31st.
Give it a whirl – you might just find the practice you’ve been looking for!
