Rooted in Equity, Growing in Community
At Wellness in Motion, we believe the yoga community is at its strongest when it reflects the diversity of the world around us. Yoga is a practice for every body, yet we recognize that systemic and financial barriers often limit access to deep study and leadership.
Our scholarship program was created to bridge this gap—prioritizing access for those from underrepresented communities and those navigating significant financial hurdles.
The Scholarship Model
For our upcoming training, we are offering up to four (4) partial scholarships, each covering 25% of the total tuition cost.
Our goal is to create a sustainable “Financial Flow” that supports both the student and the longevity of our program. By reducing the barrier to entry, we invite a more diverse range of voices into the seat of the teacher.
The “Pay It Forward” Commitment
As a recipient of this scholarship, you are invited to participate in a Seva Yoga initiative. We ask that you commit to offering 12 hours of community-based yoga within six months of your graduation.
This is not a “repayment,” but rather a ripple effect. Whether it’s teaching at a local library, a senior center, or a non-profit, you will be the bridge that brings the benefits of yoga to those who need it most.
How to Apply
We invite you to share your heart with us. To apply, please submit your responses to the following questions via online form.
