BURSARY PROGRAM

NOBLE YOGA BURSARY PROGRAM

When some of us receive the calling to become a guide and teacher of yoga, the means to participate in training is sometimes met with barriers. To help those in need overcome some of those barriers, Noble has created a bursary program tailored on a case by case basis that looks to provide supplemental resources toward participating in our certification training as a yoga teacher.

Are you eligible?

As each individual’s circumstance is unique we endeavour to keep an open heart to all those that express need. Some of the circumstances to help evaluate whether you are a candidate to receive aid through our bursary program are the following:

• Living at or below the poverty line, on a limited or restricted income.

• Part of a marginalized community that is looking for a vocation that will help them actively foster wellness, accessibility and inclusivity across the greater community.

• Individuals working in the non or not-for-profit sector.

• Pacifist activists and volunteers that are actively engaged in improving the social and environmental fabric of our community and communities at large.

• First responders that feel yoga will compliment their skillset and contribute to the well being of themselves and others.

If you feel you fall into one or more of these descriptions, want to talk about your unique circumstance or would like to receive more information please don’t hesitate to email us at teachertraining@nobleyoga.studio
