extendYoga is committed to making our studio and the greater yoga community welcoming, equitable, inclusive and affirming for all beings. Encouraging a diverse range of teaching voices as well as more diversity in yoga rooms in general, is an essential step in creating safe spaces where all students can feel represented. To help facilitate this progress, we are offering partial, and in some cases, full scholarships for QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color), and other groups that are systematically marginalized and underserved in the wellness industry.
Please do not apply unless you are able to attend all training dates (please confirm before applying). Email us with any questions: arlet@extendYoga.com.

* Self-identify as Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and/or Person of Color
