We have created the 'Community Care Fund' as a catalyst to increase the proportion of underrepresented individuals within yoga teacher trainings and the yoga community at large. To be considered as a recipient of this community-driven support you must self-identify as a member of an underrepresented group including but not limited to BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+. Requests for CCF support are awarded on a rolling basis as funds become available thanks to the support of our community’s contributions. Awarded funds can be used to cover the cost of tuition and ancillary materials such as required books and yoga props. To request CCF, please share a short (4-6 sentence) personal statement below to express your interest in receiving support. Please include how you might contribute to the diversity of heritage and narrative in our training, the amount that you are requesting, and what you would like to put the funds towards. Additionally, please feel free to share what individual support might be meaningful as you participate in this training.
