Yoga in the Woods runs entirely on community support. Here's how it works — and how to contribute.
How It Works
These classes are offered on a donation basis because everyone deserves access to movement and community — regardless of what's in their wallet. There are no membership fees, no sign-up costs, and no one checking what you put in the jar.
The suggested donation is $15 per class. That's what keeps this going — covering the time, preparation, and energy that goes into every session. If you're able to give more, you're directly helping someone else show up who can't.
If $15 isn't possible right now, give what you can — or simply show up. Your presence is never conditional on your payment. No one is ever turned away.
Community classes are one part of what Yoga in the Woods does. Local partnerships, corporate wellness programs, and private instruction all work together to keep yoga accessible across the community.
Suggested Donation
$15
per class
Give more if you're able. Give less if you need to. Come regardless — the mat is always here.
Payment Options
Bring whatever works for you — there's no wrong way to contribute.
Bring cash to class and drop it in the donation jar. Small bills always welcome — no change needed.
Send a payment before or after class via Venmo. Quick, easy, and no cash required.
@Natalie-EckermanCash App works great too. Pay at your convenience — before, during, or after class.

Donations cover the time and energy that goes into planning, showing up, and teaching community classes. Without community support, these classes don't exist.
When you give $15 or more, you're helping cover someone who can only give $5 today. The donation model works because the community holds it together — everyone contributes what they can.
Studio yoga can cost $25–$40 a class. That price point excludes a lot of people. Donation-based community classes — alongside local partnerships and corporate wellness programs — mean yoga stays available to anyone who wants it.
If $15 isn't possible right now — or any amount isn't possible — please come anyway. Seriously. Show up, roll out your mat, and practice. That's all that's asked of you.
Yoga in the Woods exists to be a place where everyone belongs. Financial hardship doesn't change that. Your presence is the point.
