I’m very happy to announce that we’re now going to be accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at Anamaya, and anyone paying with them will receive a 5% discount!

What’s the big deal about “cryptos”? Everyone is hearing about bitcoin in the news, but what are they really and what do they mean to you?

Well first of all, I think we’re the first yoga center in the world to officially accept them? I checked online and didn’t see any others.

Second this is great because there are no fees to banks, PayPal, Visa, etc. Who doesn’t like NOT paying the banksters, right?

What are cryptocurrencies? Basically they’re a new technology, created BY PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE as a way of taking power away from banks and governments who, for decades (centuries) have used control of money to manipulate and control the public. They start wars and fund both sides, creating debt that’s paid back as taxes. Ordinary people now have the power to fight the system we’ve been stuck with for a long time.

If you don’t have bitcoin or cryptocurrencies and want to start, you can read online and watch videos. In fact, one of the owners, our very own Kelsey Matheson-McCord, has just started a video blog to teach newbies all they need to know, so you can follow along with her.
