Downtown Yoga Scholarship Application

We have a few available spots for financial hardship scholarships. The rate of tuition would be reduced for those in need. It is open to individuals that have a regular yoga practice, are ready to take the next step into teaching yoga and have a strong inclination towards service and helping others.

The intention of this scholarship is to put forth passionate and experienced yoga practitioners into a role of teaching and leadership. Applicants must commit to 100% completion of the program and also must be committed to the required service work (examples include: administrative work for program participants, tracking attendance, service work for the studio, photography, social media, cleaning, etc).

We want you to write a personal story (or essay) of approximately 500 words in length about your journey with yoga. We will be looking for creativity and honesty. Focus your essay on the impact yoga has had in your life and how it has helped you find growth. We want to get to know you so be creative and genuine to yourself. Let your personality come shining through in your writing.

Some other things to keep in mind:

Originality – please do not plagiarize!!

Honesty - don’t tell us what you think we want to hear, just be authentic to yourself without being cliche’.
