Y’all Means All | Queer Yoga Initiative
We believe that in order to create brave spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, we need to amplify queer voices.
What is the DDY Queer Yoga Scholarship?
We believe that y’all means all and we are committed to creating diversity in our community, and on our team. We created the Queer Yoga scholarship for this purpose.
Queer Yoga is a space for people in the queer community to come together, practice yoga, and get to know each other. This community class takes place every Saturday at 12:30pm and Tuesday at 7:45pm.
We decided to put the proceeds of this class into a scholarship fund for queer students to deepen their practice and get certified to teach yoga. Governments are trying every day to silence queer people. We want to use our privilege to help amplify their voices, on and off the mat.
With this in mind, we are offering FIVE partial scholarships to our upcoming yoga teacher trainings — you can apply this scholarship to our yoga immersion, our 200 Hour YTT, our 300 Hour YTT, and in some cases, for continuing education. This scholarship is not valid for other studios.
Applicants should identify as Queer.
To apply, please fill out the application form on this page and write an essay on how yoga can be an agent of change in our communities and how yoga teacher training can amplify your voice and your practice.
Applications are awarded on a rolling basis.
This scholarship is open to any Queer student. We do give priority to students in the state of Georgia 🍑 for our Atlanta training. We want to help create more diversity, more understanding, more connection, more accessibility. Please note— most scholarships for the 200 and 300 Hour programs range from $250 to $500 and scholarships for CEU’s and individual workshops offer about 25% of investment. Please reach out with any questions. We are here to help and offer interest free financing.
