Saving Beach Yoga 2015. Santa Monica Attacks 2.0
It's that time of year again...the Annual Beach Yoga Crowdfunding Campaign to pay off the City of Santa Monica. Won't you help?
OUR STORY
Beach Yoga with Brad is now in its 7th year of service to the yoga community of Greater Los Angeles, across the United States, and the entire world. It was started as a low-cost option for a beautiful practice in 2008, when the Great Recession hit. It has continued, and still for just $10 per person per class, folks have the option to come down any weekend morning of the year and know that there will be a Beach Yoga class.
In addition, Yogatation classes (30 minutes yoga, 30 minutes meditation) with Alx are on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Sunset Beach Yoga classes are on Wednesdays, but will expand in the Spring and Summer. For all these years, these classes have been a refuge for so many, each for their own reasons.
Santa Monica is once again imposing costs and fees of over $6800/yr, which make it impossible to continue without your help.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to our campaign last year. Your contributions covered the Santa Monica expenses, and we were able to keep the $10 per class cost, and even expand the schedule in the summer with additional master teachers!
WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT YOU GET
We need $6800 to meet the fees and expenses from the new Santa Monica ordinances. Donations of ANY size are greatly appreciated, and your support at any level is vital to the success of this campaign. For the large donations, there are perks listed below.
The fees that Santa Monica is imposing, and the fees for this Fundraising Drive, include the following:
$100 - annual permit
$5400 - quarterly usage fee ($1350 x 4)
$76 - Santa Monica Business license
$590 - Santa Monica-required insurance
$560 - GoFundMe fees
As this is the only regular Beach Yoga in existence in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica area, it would be great to keep it alive. Donations of all sizes are welcome, and greatly appreciated. And just in case, there are...
PREMIUMS FOR LARGE DONATIONS (Individual or corporate. Other corporate perks available. Please email Brad.)
