Unlimited access to Aikido and Yoga classes at Rivertide on a sliding scale.

Our sliding scale is offered as a tool to help build a vibrant and nourishing community at Rivertide Center. It also reflects our foundational ethic of accessibility and economic justice. 

The descriptions and graphic below from the Radical History Club and from Worts & Cunning Apothecary are tools for self-reflection and a jumping-off point for assessing financial means. 

What is a sliding scale?

"A capitalist system determines our financial access and value by race, perceived gender identity, disability/ability, immigration status, and/or primary language among many other systems of imposed hierarchy. There is no exact formula that determines what each of us can afford, because income is not the only determining factor. For example, your relationship to money might also be affected by being a caregiver, your access to generational wealth, and/or costs related to a disability.

A sliding scale is used to encourage people to pay according to their available resources. Those with greater financial privilege contribute more, allowing those with less access, to pay according to their means. This allows the business to sustain its services while making accessibility as broad as possible.

How do I choose what to pay?

The Green Bottle chart below expands our understanding of financial privilege and experience. Please use it to determine the level you’re able to invest.” - The Radical History Club

Rivertide’s first subscription tier is intended for those who are financially comfortable and able to contribute to making our classes accessible. The second tier reflects the actual cost of our monthly subscription for those who are financially stable. The third and fourth tiers are for those who are struggling financially to various degrees. If the options offered are still not within your means, please reach out to us and we will work with you to create a plan to support your practice.

"Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket prices, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of teachers and creators.” -Alexis Cunningfolk
