SLIDING SCALE POLICY
Please note that almost all classes offered are on a sliding scale basis. This is to ensure accessibility within our community. The base price for Pilates classes are set at $15 to ensure that everyone who wants to attend is able to, but know that we are offering that service below the market rate.
A sliding scale is not about what you think the cost of a service should be - it’s about what you can comfortably pay. By paying the top of what you can afford, you are subsidizing the experience for others who don't have access to the same resources. If you have questions about where you might fall on this scale, please reach out directly.
