Why Donation Based Yoga

Why The Classes Are Donation Based

I provide my yoga classes on a donation basis because I believe everyone who wants to practice should be able to practice yoga regardless of their financial circumstances. I do this in the hopes that this will allow everyone to access the healing effects of yoga. I do have expenses related to the classes primarily I have a monthly beach access fee I must pay to the county that are in the hundreds of dollars. Your generous donations allow me to meet all those expenses and still keep the classes available on a purely donation basis.It is for this reason that I very much appreciate your generosity and cooperation in giving what you can when you can. With deep gratitude I thank you for your donations.

I was in Siesta Key last week and had an amazing time. A huge hi-light to my trip was being a part of Ava’s morning yoga. Starting the day out on the beach, being at one with yourself and nature, is uncompariable. I have been to yoga classes before and this was by far the most enjoyable experience. Ava is a great teacher who is able to help people at all levels. I learned about the sand, healing energy, and made good connections. Every time I visit I will always be looking forward to joining in Ava’s class. Now that I am home, looking back at my time spent there Ava’s class still reduces stress. I mentally captured the moment I spent doing something for myself in the most beautiful place… yoga on the beach was definitely a treasured moment for me.

    Ava,
    
    I will be in Siesta Key in Sept. wondering do you still have your yoga class on the beach? If so, what time will it start? I did your yoga class a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it! You are awesome!
    Hope to see you!
