INVESTMENT
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: 11/30/24 EXTENDED!
Our scholarships are meant to make the training accessible to people who would otherwise not be able to attend. We offer 10%-70% 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 require that scholarship recipients teach 10 online public NSR classes within 1 year of graduation.
Our Very first 300 hour will be underway starting this summer. We are limiting the group to 12. It will be a beautiful, small cohort.
Why do a 300 hour?
* Build on your current education & experience
* Dive deeper into specialized subject areas to hone new knowledge & skills
* Rekindle your inner flame & love for yoga
* Gather with other Indigenous leaders in a grounded space to continue on your healing journey to elevate others in THEIR healing journey
* Become a 500 hour RYT (200+300=500)!
