HI Everyone,

I am new to the forum and yoga and was hoping for some advice.

I have hep C and after 13 years with it I am starting to experience sysmtoms ie, dull pain where my liver is, skin problems, night sweats etc… As you can imagine I am concerned, I have had alot of stress because I have just relocated my family to a new province with hopes of better possibilities but have had little success, now I have all these health issues coming up.

This week I found a hot Yoga studio and they had a first week unlimited deal for $20. So I have been going it’s been 2 days but my skin conditions are already clearing, I feel better able to think, and have been feeling some releif. I think that this is something I should continue to do, I beleive it will help with at least the stress.

After this week trial is up I will not be able to continue I just can’t afford it right now I have been unemployed for a few months and just can’t pay it even though I think I should continue.

Could anybody provide me with some salutions on how I might be able to continue to learn yoga and give me any direction without having to spend lots of money,(books, tapes, web sites, etc…) I appreciate any help and Thanks for any advice!

Sure.
Barter. Trade. Negotiate.
Arrange a meeting with the studio director of your chooosing.
Be honest and direct about your situation and let them know it is your intention to develop a fiscal integrity in order to pay for classes in X number of months. Let them know that in the meantime being in the studio seems to be really working for you and you’d like to trade out classes for service.

If you have any documentation of your situation it would be reaffirming to have it with you for the meeting. Anything that shows your recent relocation, previous employment, etcetera. Don’t make them work to bring you on. Give them references letters and a resume just as you would for a f/t job.
