Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Saguaro Blossom Yoga a community yoga studio?
We're a cooperative, which means we're community-owned and teacher-governed rather than run by a single owner. Our students, instructors, and community members all have a voice in how the studio operates. This cooperative model keeps prices low and values people over profit.
How is a yoga cooperative different from a regular studio?
In a traditional studio, one owner keeps most of the revenue. At Saguaro Blossom, teachers receive 65-70% of class revenue (versus the industry standard of 30-40%), decisions are made democratically, and finances are transparent. Rebecca founded the co-op to create a more equitable model for both teachers and students.
Can I get involved with the cooperative beyond taking classes?
Yes! We welcome community participation. You can attend open governance meetings, volunteer for events, participate in work-trade for reduced class costs, or become a co-op member. Community input shapes our class offerings, pricing, and studio direction.
Do I need to be a member to take classes?
No, anyone can take classes at Saguaro Blossom Yoga. Membership is optional and gives you voting rights in cooperative decisions plus additional perks, but all classes are open to the public on our sliding scale pricing of $12-$24 per drop-in.
