the EXCHANGE

endeavoring to mutually GIVE AND RECEIVE

The ENERGETIC EXCHANGE Model:

Dharma Yoga House runs SOLELY ON DONATION.
No memberships, class packages, or contracts. We believe yoga should be for ALL and the donation-based model helps make that possible. Running more as a co-op or collective, teachers each ‘rent’ their class time slots, allowing them to in a way to have ownership of the studio. This model offers our teachers creative freedom and an opportunity to cultivate financial abundance.
As well, this energetic exchange model makes it possible for a yoga teacher to earn a good living sharing their gifts. It also means that the yoga is not ‘free’ as each teacher pays for their time at the studio and needs to cover space rental costs.

RECIPROCITY: the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit
At the unseen or spiritual level, we are dependent on the energy that comprises all things that exist and it is dependent on us and our choices as to how and what it manifests in physical form.

A Universal Law, The LAW OF RECIPROCITY is one that determines that something… some event, condition or circumstance is received back at all times without fail based on what it is that is broadcast.

This process of reciprocating, although it does pertain to our physical actions as well begins from a deeper unseen place, at the level of cause which is the energy that we choose to project through our thoughts, feelings and emotions which in turn determine our physical actions as well as the kind and quality of the results that are reciprocated back to us.

The Law of Reciprocity in essence, at this deeper level of cause, returns to us or is reciprocated based on our individual choices as to what we ask.

‘As we apprentice ourselves to the way of nature, we begin to understand that all of life is in a continuous cycle of giving and receiving. It is the honouring of this cycle that makes us feel at home in ourselves and in relation to the rest of nature. In order to experience true belonging, we must not only acknowledge the gifts we are receiving, but also give our beauty away, no matter how it may be received by others.’
