Evolving Our Membership

A note from Rebekah on the next chapter of our community offering.

When we launched the Pana Online Studio and membership, it came from a simple intention: to create a space where people could connect to yoga and wellness in a way that felt accessible, rooted, and community-led.

We were connecting with people far beyond London - from across the UK and even internationally - and wanted to offer something for those who couldn’t make it to our in-person classes, but still wanted to be part of the community. Something that made our work more affordable, more available, and more diverse in how it was shared.

Over time, we hosted live online classes, built an on-demand library of sessions, and offered member discounts for events, merch, and in-person yoga. It wasn’t always weekly, it wasn’t always polished, but it was built with care - and with real people in mind.

Since day one, membership funds have gone directly back into the community - allowing us to run low-cost, inclusive yoga classes and gatherings that centre the wellbeing of Black and Brown communities. These offerings were created in response to the lack of accessible, culturally affirming wellness spaces - and your support has helped us hold that space, week after week, even when it meant operating at a loss.

Truthfully, the membership is what’s kept us going. It’s the backbone of our weekly classes, our discounted events, and our continued commitment to making wellness spaces more representative, more rooted, and more real.

Your support hasn’t just helped - it’s made everything possible.

As we grow and evolve, it’s become clear that this work needs a more defined structure in order to thrive long-term.

So we’re making a shift.

From now on, the Pana membership will live under BPOC Yoga Club CIC, our not-for-profit sister organisation. This means that all membership income will now be managed transparently through the CIC, with a sole focus on delivering inclusive, community-rooted wellness offerings.

Pana will continue as the “mothership” - focusing on international retreats, day events, creative collaborations, and future teacher trainings. Meanwhile, BPOC Yoga Club CIC will grow as the home for regular, accessible classes and membership resources.

If you're already a member, you’ll continue to receive:

  • Unlimited access to our full class video library

  • 50% off in-person BPOC Yoga Club yoga sessions

  • Discounted merch and community events

If you’d like to support the membership, you can do so here.

We're not adding regular new content for now - but the value is still there, especially for those who practice with us online or attend in-person regularly. And for those who choose to stay on, your membership directly funds inclusive yoga for the community. You’re part of something wider, something deeply needed.

We’re so grateful to every teacher, contributor, and member who has supported this journey so far. Your support genuinely helps make this work possible - the membership is what keeps us going, and allows us to offer low-cost, inclusive spaces week after week.

We’re excited to keep building offerings that are inclusive, imaginative, and rooted in care - with clarity, sustainability, and collective joy at the heart.

With love and gratitude,

Rebekah
