Work Exchange and Scholarship Programs

In the spirit of community and to support students becoming Yoga Teachers we are offering 2 amazing opportunities. We recognise that Yoga Teacher Training is a life commitment and it can also be costly. Through the generosity of donations we are offering one Work Exchange Program and one Scholarship Program for a total of 2 students for our upcoming Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Program.
