DDY DEI Scholarship
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion — and Damn Excellent Instruction
What is the DDY DEI Scholarship?
At Dancing Dogs Yoga, we believe yoga is for everybody and every body. Our mission is to create spaces where all people — across race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, body size, age, ability, and background — can thrive.
We know systemic barriers make yoga less accessible to historically marginalized communities. This scholarship exists to help remove those barriers — not as charity, but as a commitment to building a yoga community that reflects the world we want to live in.
This scholarship is open to:
BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color)
LGBTQIA+ / Queer / Gender-expansive folks
Members of other underrepresented communities who have faced structural barriers to accessing yoga
You don’t have to “prove” your identity to apply. We trust you to know your own lived experience.
WHAT THE SCHOLARSHIP COVERS:
Partial tuition assistance for 200-hour or 300-hour YTT programs at Dancing Dogs Yoga
Award amount: up to $500
Scholarships are applied to the final tuition cost whether you pay in full or need financing
A Note on Language + Politics
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are not political talking points here — they’re core values. Yoga teaches us that liberation is collective, not selective. We will never apologize for making space for more voices, more colors, more bodies, more truth.
Dancing Dogs Yoga will never, under any circumstances, back away from our values and commitment to diversity.
