Scholarship Fund for weekly classes AND
Yoga Teacher Trainings Weekly Classes Fund
Currently, a scholarship fund for weekly yoga classes is being developed we can help make yoga more accessible to everyone! Please contact us if you are interested in receiving an application to apply for a scholarship to attend yoga classes regularly.
Yoga Teacher Training Fund
If you have a passion for yoga and a desire to teach but cannot afford the training in full, please contact us to receive an application for scholarship. For every teacher training we will accept one person to take the training on a full scholarship, who will then, in turn, return to their community to teach yoga. This is most appropriate for someone who lives or works in underserved communities or someone who works in a social services, psychological services or healthcare profession.
