2026 Original Hot Yoga Teacher Training Scholarship
We believe that it's more important than ever to uphold our commitment to Diversity and Equity in our business. We are excited to announce that we will be offering two Diversity & Equity Scholarships to our upcoming 2026 Original Hot Yoga Teacher Training program. These scholarships are intended for individuals with a serious interest in pursuing a part-time or full-time career teaching yoga or fitness classes.
Eligibility:
- Scholarships are open to individuals who self-identify as BIPOC (black, indigenous, or people of color)
- Scholarships are open to individuals who self-identify as transgender or non-binary
- All scholarship applicants must fulfill the standard prerequisites for the program
Our goal is to encourage greater participation from traditionally under-represented groups. This program has been in effect since 2021 and we have awarded over $9,000 in scholarships to date. Alongside many other activities, this scholarship has helped us to increase our application rates and to create a community where everyone feels welcome and supported in our classes.
If you are in need of financial assistance for teacher training but do not meet the eligibility criteria for this particular program, please feel free to reach out directly.
