Yoga Girl® Scholarship Application
We have established the Yoga Girl® Scholarship because when we say we want everyone to be a Yoga Girl®, we truly mean it. We want to be part of building a world where every person can achieve what they choose, without exclusion due to systemic disadvantage. We've created our scholarship program so that anyone who holds a marginalized identity and struggles with low income can still receive the same level of healing and nurturing guidance that is typically offered to those that hold more economic, social, and racial privilege.
We know it takes all of us to make an impact through yoga and not all of us have equal access. To combat interlocking systems of colonization and oppression at this time, we are offering a variety of scholarships for our different online programs, partner programs, and memberships to our Yoga Girl® platform.
As a small, women-owned business, it is our intention to bring dignity, love, and humanity into your experience on our platform and beyond. In keeping with our values of our commitment to equity and justice we are committed to building and growing our scholarship fund. We acknowledge that this is a partial step in the movement towards creating equity and not a complete solution.

- Are a Black, Indigenous, South Asian, Diasporic, Immigrant, Queer, and/or Person of Color

We welcome you to submit an application below. We will review your application and will notify you after it has been processed whether you've been chosen for a scholarship or not. Be assured that we will do what we can to support your journey to the best of our ability.
