HOUSTONIANS HAVE LONG EMBRACED THE IDEA of “paying what you can” for cultural activities, whether it’s a play at Catastrophic Theatre or admission to the galleries at CAMH. But what about pay-what-you-can yoga? If you’ve shied away from yoga in the past, fearing expensive memberships or daunting classes, Black Swan Yoga is here to change your mind about what a yoga studio could (should?) be.
The brand-new Houston location of the Austin-based company opened at 3210 White Oak last week as the first yoga studio in the Bayou City to be entirely donation-based. What does that mean? Just that: Pay what you can.
The suggested donation range is $10 to $20 per class, making it one of the less expensive yoga options in the city—especially if you take the plunge, as I did, and sign up for the $88 monthly membership, which has no complicated contracts and can be cancelled at any time. (Full disclosure: I’m also hoping to catch a glimpse of hometown hero Bun B and his wife, who’s said to already be a devoted Black Swan yogi.)
