Welcome to our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Scholarship page!
We've created this scholarship because we're very aware of how expensive yoga can be (especially yoga teacher trainings), and there have been times in our lives that we haven't always been able to afford things that we want or may need. Sometimes we needed an opportunity to help us get through a difficult time or some motivation to help us make some needed changes. We've all been there!
We've been leading yoga teacher trainings several times a year since 2012 and we've always tried to give away at least one spot in each training to someone who really needed it at that point in their life but couldn't quite afford it. Now that we've moved from our yoga studio in Southern California to the Caribbean, we're going to keep giving back in as many ways as possible. Since we now have to rent a house or space when we host teacher trainings and retreats, we can't afford to completely cover the costs ourselves. We'll donate our time of course, but the $30 per submission fee helps cover the rest.
Here are the details and fine print:
Here's how it works: you can submit in two different ways.
Some examples of what you might want to address include:
- Why I deserve a teacher training or need a teacher training,
- How I'll use this to help other people, or
- Why I need a change in my life and an a chance & opportunity to make that change
Email with any other questions you may have!
Remember to spread the word and share this with whoever you think would appreciate it. The more submissions we get the more we can give away!

Here are the details and fine print:
- We need a minimum of 20 entries in order to make the scholarship work. If we don't get enough entries for one training, we'll roll all the entries into the next training.
- With 20 entries we'll cover your entire teacher training except for your flight, any extracurricular activities or tours, and alcohol.
- With 100 entries we'll cover your flight as well, but the activities and/or alcohol are still your responsibility.
- With 200 entries we start the process again, and we'll share the scholarship with as many people as we can.
- Our teacher trainings are currently scheduled for every February and July. As we get more established we'll start hosting them once each quarter. They're immersive trainings that last 3 weeks and follow the Yoga Alliance teaching guidelines.
- We've moved to the Caribbean full time and live on our 40' sailboat. We spend our time between retreats exploring the thousands of islands down here. Our next two teacher trainings are scheduled for the Dominican Republic and St. Thomas, but as we find more amazing places we'll be holding the trainings on different islands.
- We'll let you know as far in advance as possible once you've won the scholarship. If you can't make it to the upcoming training you're welcome to choose to attend the next one.
- Enter as many times as you like. It's $30 per submission.
- Share with friends. The more submissions we get the more spaces we can give away.
- Sorry, there are no refunds (but if you make a mistake and send the wrong version of your submission you have 24 hours to make a correction).
- We'll send an email confirming that we received your submission. Keep in mind we don't always have internet access, but we'll try and respond as soon as possible.
- All abilities and levels of experience are welcome in our teacher trainings. Keep in mind that this is a 200 hour vinyasa/hatha yoga teacher training.
Here's how it works: you can submit in two different ways.
- Write us a paragraph(s) telling us why you'd like (or need) the teacher training scholarship. 500 words maximum. Submit in a word document, please.
- Send us a video telling us why you'd like (or need) the teacher training scholarship. 3 minute maximum. iPhone videos are totally cool, no need for fancy editing. Submit as an MP4, please.
