Dear Yoga People, dear HIGH ON YOGA Community!

It doesn’t come easy for me to ask for help, however, the circumstances are extraordinary.

HIGH ON YOGA have to pay back the entire Covid help from 2021 and the ridiculously enormously taxes related to it. At the moment it is around €25.000 overall. This is because our studio did not close or reduced operations back in the pandemic times so even though we did not earn, rather the opposite for most of 2021, we showed an increased revenue comparing to the years before Covid when we had a smaller space.

This was a crazy and tough time back in 2021 when I decided to run the classes as usual in order to keep work for our yoga teachers working for the studio, to sustain our community and people who depended on yoga and spirituality in these hard times.

All this now ‘pays off’ after 3 years and we are not sure what to do. Frankly, I have been devastated and trying to process it all alone but then I thought — an action together can make a change.

That’s why HIGH ON YOGA is asking for your help to survive in the long term.

The campaign goal is €10 000 to help us go though the tough times in these circumstances and allow to keep offering our best for you. In the meantime, we will work hard to manage or reduce the huge liability I mentioned earlier.

Every donation helps.

If you can't donate any money, please consider attending our classes, workshops or retreats.

We started HIGH ON YOGA back in 2015 because we believed yoga can be affordable and for everyone. We still believe in our concept and in our community.

Thank you for all the support and the 9 years together,

Mateusz Iwulski and HIGH ON YOGA Team

WHAT IS HIGH ON YOGA?

We are a yoga studio embracing the Berlin free spirit. Striving for inclusivity, we are offering all courses in English. We combine dynamic alignment-focused Ashtanga-based flow with an embracing body-positive approach.

HOW IT STARTED?

Back in 2015 Anna Tyc and Mateusz Iwulski started teaching a donation based class in Kreuzberg that quickly turned into a beautiful community in a small studio in the heart of Kreuzberg, Berlin.

OUR JOURNEY OF 9 YEARS

HIGH ON YOGA was born in a city craving for euphoria so we came up with our vision of joy and yogic ecstasy that requires only one ingredient – YOU; your mind, body and breath.

The way to HIGH ON YOGA is a journey to feeling free and blissful via a combination of asana and breath, repetition and trance, sound and sweat.

Today, we are a queer-run business engaging teachers from all over Europe. Inclusivity and sustainability have been our mission since the start.
