Scholarships & Financial Aid

Receive Yoga

"Asking is the beginning of receiving." ~ Jim Rohn

Over the years, I have given financial aid to individuals who have displayed a deep commitment to yoga but expressed a financial barrier to doing more yoga. In most every class I teach, there is at least one participant receiving a financial aid. This page is to make giving fair & open to all.

To apply, please see that you meet the criteria for one of the two categories below & then fill in the form. I ask that individuals do not take advantage of this offer, as it directly effects my own income. Please look objectively at your actual financial circumstance.

Criteria for Financial Aid

Your total household income is less than $50,000 {and you don't have investments / inheritance / partner income that provides equivalent}

Criteria for Scholarships

You are a Yoga Teacher in training or a practitioner of another healing or therapeutic modality related to the body-mind (eg. yoga, pilates, somatic therapy, etc)
Your total household income is less than $75,000 {and you don't have investments / inheritance / partner income that provides equivalent}

Give Yoga

"Giving liberates the soul of the giver." ~ Maya Angelou

Join me in making it possible for a teacher-in-training or someone in need to benefit from yoga! You can make a donation to the scholarship & financial aid fund. Choose to donate any amount of your choosing, or you can donate for a specific item (see below).
