The YogaSpace Scholarship Fund
Recently we decided to turn our attention to the folks in our own community who might not be able to afford yoga by starting the YogaSpace Scholarship Fund. Donations from Heather's class will periodically support financially challenged students so that they can attend classes at YogaSpace.
If you or someone you know would benefit from yoga, but truly can't afford it, we invite you to apply for assistance from the YogaSpace Scholarship Fund. We will choose recipients who not only demonstrate financial need or hardship, but who are also willing to commit to their personal growth through the practice of yoga.
To apply for a ten class pass (a $160 value), send us an email with a short essay that includes the following:
- Name, address, phone, email
- A brief statement explaining why you (or a friend) need assistance
- Why you want to do yoga and/or how yoga might change your life
- How you might share the benefits of yoga with others
In exchange for our assistance, we simply ask that you complete the circle of giving & abundance by offering your help, time, care or talent to YogaSpace or someone else in need.
Blessings, - Gloria, Dina, Natasha & Glenn
| Community Yoga Kripalu Yoga by Donation – Sundays at 4pm Kripalu Certified Yoga teacher, Heather Philip, has graciously offered to lead an ongoing Sunday afternoon class, with any donation, small or large, going to a selected charity each season. Thanks to Heather and your generous donations over the years, we've been able to give thousands of dollars to many worthy charities and organizations (see list and links below). If you have a particular charity that you would like us to consider for our Kripalu Yoga by Donation class, please let us know! |

Our Current Charity: Oxfam America (Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund) When a magnitude seven earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, it hit the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Haitians were already struggling to get by before the quake: just under 80 percent of Haiti’s 9.6 million people live on less than $2 per day and about half of Haiti’s population lacks clean drinking water. YogaSpace has chosen Oxfam as our charity for the months of January & February 2010 to help the people of Haiti. Oxfam has over three decades of experience in Haiti, and they have rushed in teams from around the region to respond to the situation where our assistance is most needed. They are providing clean water, shelter and sanitation and helping people recover – your donation will go immediately to the most critical needs in Haiti, and they will ensure that every penny is used wisely. As we practice finding peace on our yoga mats, consider donating as genously as spirit moves you – with consciousness and compassion – to help Oxfam's important humanitarian efforts. Thanks again to Heather for making our community giving possible, and thanks to all of YOU for opening your wallets as well as your hearts! |
