We invite anyone from urban Indigenous communities or remote, under served communities that would like to bring yoga to their community members to apply for a scholarship.

Deadline to apply for scholarships: 11/1

Our scholarships are meant to make the training accessible to people who would otherwise not be able to attend. We offer 20%-80% scholarships to applicants to subsidize the tuition. The amount is based on two things; how many people apply, and if applicants are currently working with under served remote communities.

We ask that scholarship recipients teach 10 online public NSR classes within 1 year of graduation.

We are collaborating with Native Vision to provide videos to schools in the Navajo Nation
