Our mission is to bring yoga back to the people. We want everyone to be able to practice yoga and to make the classes available without financial commitments or obligations. So, Y.E.S. offers all classes on a ”pay what you can” cash donation basis. Studios and health clubs offering yoga have grown dramatically, but charge a hefty price that is prohibitive to some wishing to participate. By offering a comprehensive “pay-what-you-can” yoga program at the community level, we hope to enable all people to enjoy the mind/body benefits of a regular yoga practice. Pay What You Can does not mean free. All donations are anonymous, and individually based.
PAY WHAT YOU CAN????? How does it work? Instead of setting a fixed fee for classes, we're asking you to pay what you can. Those who can pay more help support those who can't pay as much.
We believe the healing and spiritually uplifting gift of yoga is for everyone and that allowing more people to practice more often can make our world a better place. Please join us in making this experiment work by giving what you can.
This means that for each class you attend you will place your cash in the donation box - it really is that simple. Please remember, Pay What You Can does not mean free. The teacher, studio fees, and space rental will be paid out of the total amount received each class. We have a suggested donation of $8 - $15 per class, but more importantly want you to continue your yoga practice at whatever cost you can afford.
Yes, this is new to St. Petersburg. Truly a new way of being! Walking along the Yogic path is to provide service and to be open to receive service in return. This yoga sanctuary will be Karma yoga for everyone. We will also be donating a portion of each month's donations to a local charity (Lupus Foundation - Greater Florida Chapter). To give from your heart, as one heals, we all heal.
How can you help? Spread the word! This community-based Yoga is a unique walk for our yoga community and for St. Petersburg.

Namaste - The Divine in me honors and blesses the divine in you, in truth, we are one, The "I AM"
YES was renovated while incorporating the yogic concept of ahimsa (non-violence). Non-violence towards the environment and being environmentally friendly is essential to our well being and future. YES does its best to use materials that are not harmful to our environment. The floors are laid with enviro-friendly cork. Walls are painted with low volatile organic compound paints to help create a healthier indoor environment. To reduce energy usage as well as greenhouse gases, energy efficient bulbs are used where possible in the studio and the use of air conditioning is minimized. And of course, there are always recycling baskets available. We had the city install bike racks so students ride bikes instead of cars. YES hopes to keep its impact on the environment minimal, while encouraging others to do the same.
