Back Bay Yoga Union is committed to increasing representation of BIPOC teachers and students in yoga spaces. We encourage diverse students with an interest in teaching to apply for a studio-sponsored scholarship to defray teacher training tuition. 

Scholarships are granted on a rolling basis, and are tiered levels of cost sharing as a percentage of the training. We have modeled our program this way in order to grant as many students as possible support for the training. 

2024/2025 scholarship applications are now closed
