Weekly Bodhi Yoga™ Donation Based Classes in Provo, Utah
In celebration of 25 years of sharing this wonderful practice, we are yet again evolving and awakening to what yoga can be in the Utah Valley community by moving to a donation based/pay-what-you-can yoga studio, for our public weekly classes led by Bodhi Yoga Founding Director Syl Carson! Here’s what is on her mind
"Ultimately, we are each responsible for stewarding the energy we bring to our daily lives. Yoga helps us fine-tune that energy, as we gain experience and perspective and to learn about the flow of abundance. As we play with it, as we prove ourselves (to ourselves) through our own lives, we learn the power of trust. Ultimately we benefit most from that trust when we share what flow we have been blessed with with others. Sometimes that’s an exchange of goods and services, and sometimes it’s simply an exchange of kindness. That is my intention for sharing my Bodhi Yoga with you in this way. As always, it is a labor of love.”
Syl Carson, Bodhi Yoga Founding-Director
2024 Bodhi Yoga™ Weekly Class Schedule (in additions to full curriculum of certifications):
Each class has room for about 18 people and is offered on a first-come, first OM basis:
How it works:
First things, first, in order to practice at Bodhi Yoga, you must be symptom-free, and in good health to join in person.
The recommended donation is due anytime before you step on your mat for class (just simply note on your Venmo payment which class day and time you’re paying for). Bodhi Yoga™ provides all mats and props, there is never an additional cost for mat rental, we just ask that you wipe it down with mat wipes (provided) when you finish class.
All levels of yoga experience and body shapes are welcome here.
Donations requested are tied to helping you get into the flow. Syl gives guidance to help you figure out which option fits your current financial circumstance with a variety of options:
Pay-as-you-go cash/Venmo options:
$15 Donation: I AM IN THE FLOW—I don’t struggle to make ends meet each month. I’m naturally and perpetually in the flow of abundance and can meet my financial needs each month.
$10 Donation: I Am On My Way—Some weeks I might not be able to both come and pay, because something random has created finances that are a bit strapped. Paying the discounted 10$ means I’m showing the universe that I’ll be back on track soon, using my yoga practice to remind me that I am empowered to get myself in a perpetual feel-good space.
$ 5 Donation: I am READY—I’m in a short-term pinch. I need to get by with what I can this week, and I need some yoga to get my mind out of stress loop thinking and back in my abundance flow.
$ GOOD KARMA Yoga option: I AM OPEN—if you would otherwise not be able to pay rent or buy food and get your yoga practice, this is the time you need Yoga the most, to develop good intentional skills for reconnecting with the abundance that is trying to find you in your life:
Do your part by recognizing that you are always worthy of abundance and sustained security, by first coming to class AND then second, in lieu of class tuition post a link and share the Bodhi Love on social media—
— Like Bodhi Yoga’s Facebook page and post a link to gobodhiyoga.com with a kind referral on your own Facebook page.
—Follow gobodhiyoga Instagram page and post to your Instagram (or other social media you are on) with a link #gobodhiyoga
—Not on social media at all? Text two friends, sharing what you’ve loved about the Bodhi Yoga experience with Syl include a link to: gobodhiyoga.com
Whichever option is right for you, give it in gratitude, because Syl and all who have ever supported this beautiful Bodhi Yoga space are sharing wholeheartedly with you.
Monthly unlimited donation-based options, because I don’t want to think about paying every time I come:
(this would include 12 regular weekly classes each month, as well as the two summer outdoor session classes weekly during August and September at The Labyrinth)
$108. Monthly Mala Dharma—I don’t struggle to make ends meet each month. I’m naturally in the flow of ample abundance and realize that my contribution to Syl Carson’s well-being and the perpetual well-being of the Bodhi Yoga space will help to assure that this wonderful space and wonderful classes will perpetually thrive for both myself and others.
$85. I Am On My Way—some weeks I might not be able to both come and pay, because something random has created finances that are a bit strapped. Paying the discounted 85$ for unlimited monthly classes means I’m showing the universe that I’ll be back on track soon, using my yoga practice to remind me that I am empowered to get myself in a more substantial feel-good space.
$50. I Am Ready—I’m in a short-term pinch. I need to get by with what I can this month, and I need some yoga to get me back in my abundance flow for good.
