For the first five years of its life the Yoga Village UK website relied heavily upon voluntary work, and any direct costs were covered by advertising fees and the bookshop. Due to the success of the website and its continued growth administration costs are also growing. We are at the stage now where we need to pay people to work on the site to keep it running efficiently. Some ‘refurbishment’ is also needed. All this costs money.
In order to support the continued growth of the site, from August 2006 we are asking all yoga teachers listed for a voluntary annual subscription of £35. Whether you choose to pay or not will not affect your listing appearing in the directory.
To pay or not to pay?
Please note that this contribution is voluntary. We wish to continue our yogic ethos and to remain inclusive. Yoga teachers who cannot afford to pay will remain in the directory.
We know from the feedback we receive that many teachers benefit financially from their listings on the website, by obtaining new paying students. Many have also asked if they can give a donation towards the work of the website. Now is your chance!
Most yoga students pay around £50 for a term of classes, about £150 per year, so just one new student more than covers the small fee of £35 that we are asking. The annual subscription is comparable to the cost of a small ad in a local paper, which appears only once and then tends to be thrown away. Remember that your listing is accessible online 24/7 for a whole year.
How to pay
You can pay by credit card via Paypal. You will receive a request for payment via email. It's very easy and secure. If you already have a paypal account you can log in to your account and send your money directly to paypal@yogauk.com If you don't, there will be clear instructions in the email.
