Listening First Yoga Scholarships:
Community-Supported Practice

At Listening First Yoga, one of our values is accessibility, including accessible pricing. We use a community pricing model, which means that we offer our classes and individual sessions at a range of prices. Those in the community who can pay toward the higher end of the range help to cover costs for those who need to pay a little less.

Still, we know that even with these options, cost can be a barrier to practice.  That's why our Scholarship Fund provides support for group and individual sessions for those experiencing financial hardship. The Scholarship Fund is primarily supported by our monthly drop-in groups and donations from our YouTube virtual practices.

Another of our core values is equity. The impacts of trauma play out in systems and societies just like they do in individuals. Challenges like racism, sexism, poverty, transphobia, ableism, and beliefs that value some bodies over others mean that some members of our community experience trauma at higher rates, and face greater challenges in accessing care and healing. For this reason, our scholarships prioritize those in our community facing disproportionate rates of trauma or chronic stress, or those holding identities typically excluded from contemporary yoga spaces. This may include those identifying as BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color), LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual and more), those who are disabled and neurodiverse, and those with larger bodies. Holding one or more of these identities is not required to apply for a scholarship. Please consider your available resources and ability to pay when applying for a scholarship.
