Important Changes at The Yoga Room
Thank you for supporting yoga and our little studio! We’re so grateful that you’re a part of our community! This week we’d like to tell you about upcoming changes to our pricing, some of which will take effect immediately, and some of which will take effect on May 1.
Effective Immediately
We’re excited to announce that we're transitioning from our Monthly Unlimited Pass to a new program we’re calling Membership.
Members can attend an unlimited number of Classes for a monthly fee, which is reducing from the current $105 to $99! Members also receive special perks including early registration to workshops and series, and other surprise discounts and bonuses from time to time.
You might wonder why we’ve decided to lower our prices AND offer additional perks. Well, the answer to that comes in two parts.
From a student perspective, consistency of practice is the key to progress. Whether you’re interested in becoming stronger, more flexible, reducing pain, or quieting your mind, you’ll experience more profound benefits when you’re practicing at least 2-3 times per week, if not daily.
From a business perspective, the Membership program helps make our small business more sustainable. When our students/clients commit to supporting our studio through a monthly fee, we can rely on that consistent revenue to help us continue to improve the quality of our teaching and the quality of our offerings.
Starting May 1
To keep up with inflation, our A La Carte Class Pricing and our Private Instruction pricing will increase a little bit. Here's the breakdown:
A La Carte Class Prices
Single Class - $17
5 Class Pack - $70 ($14 per class)
10 Class Pack - $120 ($12 per class)
Private Instruction Prices:
Individual Session - $85
5 Session Pack - $400 ($80 per session)
10 Session Pack - $750 ($75 per session)
You’re welcome to take advantage of current pricing by stocking up before May 1st!
We’re so grateful for your support, whether as a student, a newsletter subscriber, or as a well-wisher. Because of you, we’ve been able to serve the Round Rock community since 2010, offering high quality, inclusive yoga for all kinds of people with all kinds of bodies. We look forward to serving the community for years to come.
We hope to see you very soon! As always, we welcome your questions and comments. Please email us at info@rryogaroom.com.
All the best,
For Peace of Mind, Train Yourself to See Clearly
On a recent misty morning, I was sitting at a red light at AW Grimes and Old Settlers, a car in front of me, a couple of cars in the lane to my left, and a few cars lined up in the left turn lane. The light turned green and the drivers of the cars in front hesitantly lifted their feet off their brakes, then stepped back down on their brakes and stopped. The driver of the truck to my left was clearly annoyed; he honked impatiently.
A few seconds later, we understood why the front row cars stopped at the green light. An ambulance was passing through, lights on, sirens off. Only the cars in the front row could see the ambulance. We, behind them, could not.
Yoga philosophy teaches us that there are five types of "fluctuations" or "disturbances" of the mind. Viparyaya, misconception, is the disturbance that happened in the mind of the driver of this truck. He didn't realize an ambulance was crossing through the intersection; he thought it was just a bad driver in front of him. His mind was agitated due to a misconception.
This is such a common situation. How many times per day do we lose our peace and become agitated due to a simple misunderstanding? It probably happens more than you'd think!
The good news is that yoga philosophy also teaches us that when we are in a state of yoga (when we practice consistently), we are able to perceive reality clearly. And in contrast, when we are not in a state of yoga, we are only able to see what our mind perceives reality to be.
The moral of the story? Practice yoga so that you can perceive clearly and maintain a calm mind.
We look forward to seeing you in class very soon! As always, we welcome your questions and comments. Please email us at info@rryogaroom.com.
