Sliding Scale Memberships

Community comes first

Welcoming as many people as possible into the fold

Here at Cultivate, our community has always been important to us, and we've always sought to welcome as many people as possible into the fold. We know a lot has changed here over the past couple of years, and remaining a vibrant, inclusive community space as we grow is deeply important to us.

That's exactly why we're launching our Sliding Scale Membership Program. As we invest in bigger facilities and expand what we offer, we want to make sure that we create the opportunity for as many people as possible to participate in this sport that we love so much. This program is how we're carrying that care forward.

The details

How it works

Climbing + Fitness only

Sliding scale is currently offered for the Climbing + Fitness membership. It is not available for Wellness or All Access memberships.

6-month terms

Sliding scale memberships run for 6 months. You'll have the opportunity to reapply during month 5. We'll send a reminder to reapply; if you don't, your membership will end after month 6.

Applications open monthly

Applications open the last week of every month and are awarded on the 10th of the following month, so new members are ready to go for the billing cycle on the 15th.

Honor system pricing

You'll review a set of guidelines and self-select the price that fits your circumstances. Sliding scale pricing is offered in $10 discount increments, starting at $33/month.

Lottery-based awards

We add new members every month and aim to support as many people as possible. Because award limits depend on application volume, recipients are chosen by lottery when applications exceed available spots.

Not selected? Apply again

If you're not selected, we'll email you and encourage you to reapply the following month. We also encourage you to apply to Carolina Climber Coalition's Mosaic Scholarship Fund, which grants annual memberships to Cultivate every quarter.

First round

Applications open in late August

We're planning to open our first round of applications the last week of August, with the first recipients awarded September 10.

Jacqueline

Jacqueline first fell in love with yoga at 14, squeezing in an after school practice with a tiny group of teenage girls. By college, she had delved deeper into her practice through the disciplined style of Ashtanga Yoga. In 2018 Jacqueline became a RYT 200 and started teaching yoga and its philosophies to teenage girls. Jacqueline’s teaching styles include beginner, vinyasa, power, yin, restorative, meditation, and philosophy. Today, she focuses on living the practice off the mat as much as on and is currently pursuing her 300 YTT at Asheville Yoga Center. She loves to guide her students into linking their breath and movement together into a deep class with a great beat

Claudia

Claudia started practicing yoga in 2015 as part of her journey of rebuilding her relationship with exercise. In yoga, she discovered the joy and pleasure that can come from movement. Yoga taught her to be flexible with herself, celebrate her body and listen to her intuition. Claudia received her RYT-200 certification in 2019 from Ganesha Yoga, where she trained in vinyasa, yin and restorative styles. In 2023, she completed training in Yoga Sculpt at Down Dog. Claudia is passionate about helping students connect with their body and find joyful movement in their lives. Yoga Sculpt and Restore are Claudia’s favorite styles of yoga to teach. You can expect carefully curated playlists that support, encourage and energize you throughout your practice. In addition to yoga, Claudia is a self-proclaimed foodie, who also enjoys hiking, snowboarding, reading, and crafting.

Trish

Trish is an ACE certified fitness instructor specializing in Pilates inspired, core-focused, and strength-training sequences. Pilates Strength is a full body low impact workout utilizing props and weights for added resistance. You will get stronger moving along with fun beats!

Trish began practicing Pilates as a teenager which has complemented a background in dance, barre, and hot yoga as well as teaching stretching, HIIT, and strength training classes. She is also certified in functional nutrition, behavior change, and corrective movement for chronic pain. Trish runs a pet sitting business and enjoys cooking, Stand Up Paddleboarding, traveling, and photography.

Lindsey

Lindsey has been teaching since 2021 after completing her 200 hour YTT at Yonder Yoga in Atlanta, GA. In her classes, you can expect a great workout, eclectic playlist, and to play around with unique postures. Yoga found Lindsey at a time where she needed it the most and immediately fell in love with both the mental and physical challenge that comes from being on the mat. When not in the studio, you can find her hiking, hanging out with her dogs, or drinking coffee.

Lauren

Lauren first started doing yoga with her mom when she was a child, but truly got into the practice when she was 17. While the cadence and style of her practice has ranged over the past 8 years, Lauren’s love for yoga stems from it being something she can always return to and can always look at with fresh eyes. In 2022, Lauren received her 200hr teacher training in Ecuador — where she attended a program that focused on asana, pranayama, and Shamanism. In her classes, Lauren aims to provide a space where people can tune into their body and develop a deeper relationship with themselves. She also aims to add levity to her classes, and encourages laughter and silliness as a key part of the practice. When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga, Lauren loves to throw pottery, climb, and play a good game (whether it’s a board game, card game, charades, etc — she’s there).

Hannah

Hannah is devoted to creating spaces of connection, curiosity, and care. Rooted in the belief that healing happens in relationships (both to self and to others), Hannah’s classes blend intuitive movement, nervous system awareness, and a gentleness that invites people to come exactly as they are. She completed her 200 hour training with HereNowYoga in 2019, Acro Love certification in 2021, and is currently enrolled in Chromatic 300 hour yoga training to continue deepening her knowledge for her students. While not in class, you can find Hannah practicing one of her many joyful hobbies: acro, slacklining, flow arts, or cooking. You may also find her simply soaking up time in nature, gathering with friends, and exploring new ways to move, connect, and create. These practices off the mat continue to inspire the playfulness, presence, and curiosity she brings into every space she holds.

Sophie

Sophie began practicing yoga in 2011 and has been teaching since 2014. She holds over 500 hours of certification, including a 200-hour training from Konalani Yoga Ashram, a 300-hour certification from School Yoga Institute, a 200-hour LYT Anatomy Training, and several adaptive yoga trainings. She enjoys leading classes that emphasize functional movement in a safe and supportive environment, empowering students to explore challenge at their own pace. Sophie is passionate about creating inclusive spaces where individuals of all abilities can connect to their mind, body, and breath. While Sophie loves teaching functional flows, most of her time is now devoted to sharing adaptive yoga for children, teens, and adults with disabilities. Outside of teaching, Sophie enjoys backpacking, swimming in oceans and waterfalls, and spending intentional time in nature.

Morai

Morai is a long-time yoga teacher with a playful, grounded approach and a deep respect for the body’s natural intelligence. Morai completed her 200 hour certification with Jaya Yoga in 2017 and is also Sustainable Yoga Asana Foundation (SAYF) certified. With nearly a decade of experience, she teaches classes that range from restorative and nervous system-supportive to strength-building and mobility-focused. Her style is welcoming, intentional, and rooted in sustainable movement that meets students where they are. Her classes support recovery, joint stability, and full-body integration to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay injury-free—whether you’re sending routes or seeking balance in your body from daily life. When she’s not on her mat, you can find Morai climbing at the gym, doing ceramics, dancing, and baking.

Ana

Ana practices yoga as a means to find presence and embodiment. She started the practice through college gym classes, and then made her way through all the new student specials that local studios had so she could get her fix. She completed her 200 hour training through School Yoga Institute in 2021, then dived into teaching free park yoga and a weekly vinyasa class at her then-climbing gym in Gainesville, FL. Ana found community in yoga through teaching hot vinyasa classes and machine pilates in Chattanooga, TN before moving to Asheville, NC. When she’s not teaching yoga or in a workshop for her 300 hour training at Asheville Yoga Center, you can find her fixing bicycles and leading rides at Gravelo Workshop. She loves to move her body, make food, and hangout with her cat. Through her classes, she hopes to create an immersive experience that holds space for breath, movement, and connection to the self while providing plenty of opportunities to strengthen!
