Surya namaskar Recovery scholarship

For Applicants

Apply to receive the scholarship

We believe yoga can be a meaningful support on the journey of recovery, and we want financial circumstances to be less of a barrier to accessing that support. This scholarship is specifically available to individuals who are in recovery from substance use or other addictive behaviors and who are committed to incorporating a regular yoga practice into their recovery and well-being.

If awarded, the recipient will receive access to all regularly scheduled classes at Element. Because the scholarship is intended to support an ongoing practice, continued participation requires regular and consistent attendance and use of the benefit. Element will work with each recipient to develop a practice plan that helps them make the most of this opportunity.

The process begins with a short application and brief interview. Applications are reviewed individually, with consideration given to the applicant's recovery journey, commitment to regular practice, and financial need.

For Donations

Help others receive the benefits of yoga

At Element Yoga and Āyurvedic Wellness, we believe that a regular yoga practice can have a meaningful and lasting impact on a person's physical, mental, and emotional well-being—and that financial circumstances shouldn't prevent someone from experiencing those benefits.

Our Recovery Scholarship provides financial assistance specifically for individuals who are in recovery and committed to making regular yoga practice part of their ongoing journey. The scholarship is funded through donations from our community and supplemented by Element.

Your donation helps make a consistent yoga practice possible for someone who may not otherwise be able to afford it. Every contribution helps us extend the reach of our community and support someone in building the stability, connection, and self-care that can come through regular practice.

Scholarship recipients are selected through an application and interview process. Once awarded, we work with each recipient to establish a plan for regular participation, helping them make the most of their scholarship and their practice.

The Recovery Scholarship was created through a partnership with local community members Joe & Kris Autry. Joe has experienced firsthand the benefits of a regular yoga practice and the difference it has made in his own life. Their generosity and belief in the power of yoga helped make this program possible.

When you donate to the Recovery Scholarship, you're helping someone keep showing up—for their practice, their recovery, and their life.
