Yoga Teacher Training Scholarship Fund
We are so pleased to announce our new Yoga Teacher Training Scholarship Fund, established to help fund the tuition of one teacher trainee per YTT 200-hour level session* from an under-represented demographic in the yoga teacher community: BIPOC, Veterans, Differently-Abled, NeuroDiverse, and others are all welcome to apply!
Monies donated to our YTT scholarship fund will come from Karma class donations, select retail item fundraisers and other events. Direct donations from community members are also welcome! We believe that yoga is for everybody but we also acknowledge that many members of our community do not have adequate access: to both yoga education and to community yoga classes in which they feel comfortable. It is our hope that this fund will help to diversify the yoga teacher field with the goal of bringing yoga to more people in the Milwaukee area.
If you are interested in being considered for the YTT Scholarship, please include a note with your YTT application!
*YTT sessions run during the traditional school calendar year: September-June.
The YTT Scholarship Fund will pay up to 50% of the full-tuition cost of the 200 hour certification program.
