Yoga and Nia are healing, transformative practices. SoulShine Studios co-owner Marybeth Grinnan says, “We believe all people should be able to access these movement practices regardless of their ability to pay. When more of us are healthy and supported, the whole community benefits. One of our core values includes making a difference in our community. Our pricing structure and the Soul Movement Fund are two ways to help us expand our reach.”

To make their classes more accessible, SoulShine is now offering a sliding-scale pricing model. Online classes: $5 (community rate), $10 (regular rate), $15 (supporter rate). Outdoor/studio classes are $10, $16 and $20. Supporter contributions assist community members experiencing financial difficulties.
