Teacher Discounts

Teachers, we see you, and we’re so grateful. 

We know how hard teachers work each and every day.  Really — our staff includes educators who have worked in public and private schools for over 30 years (including an MCPS Principal), so we get that your job was challenging even before the COVID pandemic… and many of our staff are parents, whose children have benefitted from your passion and dedication every day, as you work to educate the next generation.

To express our gratitude and help you destress, HYC offers special teacher discounts on yoga classes year-round! MCPS and other school teachers and employees are eligible for:

  • Special rate for the Align & Unwind class on Wednesday afternoons (scroll down to see below)

  • 20% off of all our class passes; and

  • $99/month for an unlimited membership (regular price $149), with all the perks!

To qualify, please email a picture of your current MCPS/school employee ID to info@thehappyyogi.com. Once we update your account in our system, the discount will be automatic!

We also have a class designed specifically with School Teachers in mind!

Special Rate for MCPS and other school employees: $49 for 4 weeks*

Align & Unwind
Wednesdays, 4:30-5:30pm
April 3 - May 8 (no class on April 24)
May 15 - June 5
(Class is ongoing, join any time!)

This moderately paced class is a calming and rejuvenating practice designed specifically with school teachers in mind.

When we give our all to our work and to others throughout our day, we sometimes forget about our own needs, and may not notice that our bodies have fallen out of alignment.  When we are out of alignment, it puts pressure on our joints which can result in pain and discomfort, and make us more vulnerable to injuries.  The challenges of teaching can also fill our bodies with tension that we may not realize we are holding -- or we may be very aware of it, but not know how to release it!  

Ellen Bennett will guide you through a yoga practice to keep your body safe, release stress and tension, and experience peace and calm to help you stay aligned with your purpose and passion, and navigate the joys and challenges of school, work and life.  Take the time to prioritize yourself, and to Align and Unwind!

*This special pass is intended for MCPS and other school teachers or employees, to attend the Wednesday Align & Unwind class with Ellen Bennett. Participants may join anytime, or at the start of the next session, from 5/15-6/5/24.** If you have not already done so, please email your MCPS/school employee ID to info@thehappyyogi.com, in order to attend.

**Please note that any missed classes may be made up in any other in-studio or online classes on our regular schedule!  This pass and any make-up credits will expire 2 months after its first use.
