How the Community Wellness Program Works
The Community Wellness Program at Ruta Maya has been designed to create an opportunity for our customers to learn a number of different topics. It is our belief that the members of the Ruta Maya community can take what they have developed in our classes and bring it out into the general Austin community, thereby making our city a healthier and happier place to live.
All of our class offerings are supported by Ruta Maya supplying a small stipend for the instructors, the instructors supplying their expertise at at discounted rate and YOU, our customers. In order for the program to flourish, we need your support. In this way, the Community Wellness Program is symbiotic - we ALL benefit.
Please make your café purchases BEFORE the class begins.
