Membership for life
Membership of the
European Yoga Network™ is for Yoga students, teachers, commercial Yoga providers and most Yoga affinity groups.
If you
InvestOnline, you'll be helping us grow and develop opportunities for everyone to share with us - in a viable, community oriented way.
Unlike similar Yoga groups that normally require
regular financial donations for support, we generate revenue from sales of ancilliary Yoga supplies - so
all our membership packages do
not make any profit for us like a regular membership fee would. We think this is
very cool way of doing things.
So,
once you decide to join you can stay a member for life, you can choose to do as little or as much as you like (that is, until you sell your shares).
There is
never any obligation to
pay any more than an initial investment -
or any further liability on your shareholdings once you join.
All this is very good news for Yoga in Europe - and for everyone who is interested in being a part of what we are doing.
Our
C.I.C. status is critical in the development of our aims and objectives. It puts us in perfect shape:
official, legal representation, commercial viability and social accountability - like never before.
We especially welcome applications for membership from:-
- Individual Yoga teachers and students
- Our retail and wholesale customers
- Yoga charities, study groups and schools
- Other ethical Yoga businesses and
- Yoga websites
