We also believe that yoga should be available to everyone and that it’s important to do everything in our power to nurture an inclusive environment and dismantle oppressive structures in the wellness industry.

Anyone who identifies as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or any other traditionally underrepresented person can apply. Recipients will receive between 25% to 50%discounts on our teacher trainings depending on need.

Our mission is to provide a healing space and that every yoga class can feel welcoming to every student - but not without change. Our community needs to keep evolving until every person who wants to practice yoga truly feels that they can.
