Sopport our budding Mountain View Ashtanga Yoga Collective

My name is Anne Finstad and together with a small group of long time students we have started an Ashtanga Yoga Collective in Mountain View, CA. We have completed our first month of self practice and are entering our second month. Together as a group we have decided we would like to shift the standard transactional yoga studio model to something a little different. We endeavor to create a member supported yoga studio where new and existing students can practice first and foremost, and the generosity of the group clears a path for all to participate at the financial level they can. Those who feel the calling can donate to support the studio as a member, or just offer what they can give. At the groups direction, I have set up a go fund me as a way for folks to become members, and set up the collective with a nest egg for our next six months. It could seem odd to start a non profit studio by raising funds. And yet the students themselves want to create a space where people get to experience what this practice has to offer. The students themselves would like to pay it forward. Anyone who feels the call to help us in this experiment can donate and give what they can, or become a founding member. All funds will go directly to the rent and expenses of offering the practice to the public.

Full founding membership is a donation of 900 dollars.

If you become a founding member, or elect to give the fraction of that that is fair to you, you need not pay Drop-in for yoga. If you prefer to continue to donate what you can on a daily basis that’s also a support to our collective. We fully appreciate your participation on whatever level you are comfortable giving.

PS we are making collective tank tops for any members that give any donation of 40 or more.
