F A Q

 
  • Our mission is to make yoga accessible to everyone by removing the financial barriers that prevent so many people from accessing and maintaining a yoga practice.

    To live our mission everyday everything we offer at our studios is FREE to attend with no obligation to donate. However, we do need funds to cover our expenses each month (rent, teacher pay, utilities, software costs, etc.) so that we can continue to exist far into the future.

    If you are able to donate, it is needed and deeply appreciated!

    We do suggest a $10/class donation which helps sustain us or more if you’re able to - which can help to support others in our community access their practice.

    If you are unable to donate to us financially, we ask that you give back to the community in some way that helps to elevate us all into a common place of compassion, wellness and love.

  • Workshops are setup differently than classes at Cultivate and we do ask that you pay the “investment” cost for attending that workshop.

    You can still signup for any special event workshop for FREE via Mindbody but will be asked to donate the requested amount to Cultivate for the offering.

  • As a nonprofit organization, we are choosing to share out the gift of yoga into the community for FREE.

    In doing so, we ask that students who consciously accept this gift by practicing with us choose to give back in some way to help our entire community.

    This could be a financial donation to Cultivate, which is needed to sustain our organization or it could be any way a student chooses to serve the community-at-large.

  • All of our metrics are public and can always be viewed HERE.

    The exact amount we need each month varies slightly depending on a number of factors, but on average we need around $8000-$10,000 to sustain ourselves each month.

    This funding mainly comes from individual donations from our students who attend classes and goes directly to cover operational expenses for the business (rent, teacher pay, utilities, software costs, etc.)

    We actively seek out grant opportunities as well to help fund our operations.

  • Your donations are the primary way that we continue to stay operational. If we did not have donations from individual students, we would not be able to cover our monthly costs and therefore would not exist to bring yoga to ALL. Your donations are paramount to the success of our mission!

  • When you make a donation you do not have to donate to a specific class that you attended or teacher that you practiced with.

    Our teachers get paid regardless of the amount of donations that were brought in from their class roster.

    Paying our teachers fairly is of the utmost importance to us and is our biggest monthly expense.

  • Signup is done with our booking software: MINDBODY

    You can access the class schedule and signup for classes on our website HERE.

    You can also download the MINDBODY app on your iOS or Android mobile device.

    Once you download the app, search for our studios (Cultivate Yoga Space and Cultivate Yoga Garden) and save them to your favorites for easy access :)

    You will notice that everything listed is FREE to signup for. There is absolutely no obligation to pay before signing up for a Cultivate class - donations are certainly welcome if you’re able to share that gift with us though.

  • YES! Because we are a 501(c)(3) organization, and live our nonprofit mission to bring YOGA to ALL, everything you donate to Cultivate supports our cause and is tax-deductible.
