The program serves people recovering from all manifestations of addiction, from behavioral addictions to substance abuse – creating a safe place on the mat where trauma can be released. It also supports those who are impacted by a loved one’s addiction.
PWYC classes are not "free". Rather, they are your opportunity to, well, Pay What You Can. For some, that will mean paying less than a normal class fee (though rarely will that mean paying nothing) . For others, it will mean paying more than a normal class fee. Think of it as a chance to help your fellow yogis who otherwise could not afford it to participate.
In short, PWYC is your opportunity to get what you need at a price you can afford, or to assist others to do so.
