We are dedicated to supporting inclusivity and diversity in the yoga space and ensuring our programs are financially accessible to yoga teachers. Our scholarship programs were developed with empathy and gratitude for the many heartfelt yoga teachers wanting to share their passion for yoga and earn a liveable income. With this intention, we offer two types of scholarship schemes for our online yoga teacher trainings: our Inclusivity Scholarship and Financial Support Scholarship.

 

The intention of our Inclusivity Scholarship program is to support people of differing intersectionalities, including students and teachers of BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+ and differing abilities on their journeys to become a yoga teacher or continue their yoga education. We hope this helps to expand the presence of more diverse voices in yoga.

 

We also offer our Financial Support Scholarship to support other yoga professionals who desire to continue their yoga education but are facing financial restraints. We hope this scholarship benefits their professional development and supports the yoga communities they serve.

 

Please read more below about our two scholarship options designed to help empower students and teachers who otherwise may not have access to this training opportunity. ​ ​
