"The sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights up the whole sky.”

Helping More People to Be Their Best Selves

In order to make our class offerings accessible to more people we are beginning to offer Scholarships for North Adams Yoga. Participants needing financial assistance, and people of color, indigenous people, veterans, and refugees are invited to apply for financial assistance. These scholarships will be awarded for participants to use at any of our regularly scheduled weekly classes.

How Does a Scholarship Work?

For applicants who are offered a 'scholarship' to North Adams Yoga the following steps will take place:

Email

Applicants are encouraged to apply at the start of a new schedule to get the best option of receiving scholarship. 
Not everyone who applies is guaranteed award because we will distribute available scholarships based on class interest and availability. Those who receive scholarship will receive an email, usually within 1-2 weeks.

The 'Purchase'

We offer discounted packages to those who are awarded 'scholarship',
20-100%.
The client can then purchase the discounted package in person, or in the case of the 100% fund, the classes will be added to their account for use.
For example:
10 Classes Normally $120
Discounted 40% = $72

Booking Classes

Participants can then book their own classes via MindBody, or drop-in to classes. Clients are not restricted to any single class but the scholarship does not apply to workshops, retreats, or special events. If a client uses their package completely during a schedule they can purchase another, but only one package at a time, and will be required to reapply each schedule.

Want to help support scholarships at
​North Adams Yoga?

For our community members who have the financial capacity to support our scholarship program we invite you to purchase a Seva Pack. For $100 we will distribute 10 discounted classes to those who apply and receive scholarship. Please know that at this time the Seva Pack  contribution is not tax deductible but is a practice of yoga off the mat: it energetically connects you to the health and compassion within our community. Seva translates from Sanskrit as ‘selfless service’. It is action without expectation of reward or repayment. It is an action that contributes to the improvement of a community. Thank you for supporting your instructors and diverse participation at North Adams Yoga.
