The Work Exchange Scholarship Program
This scholarship is based on need and circumstance, one full and one half Scholarship Work Exchange for our International Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Berlin, may be available.
Text books, food, accommodation, travel and the retreat costs are not included in the Scholarship and are to be covered by the student.
Exchange...
As we believe that everyone has unique strengths and talents, we would love to know what you could contribute to the training with your individual abilities (organizational support, photography, filmmaking, etc. - be creative.) As part of the application process, feel free to suggest anything as a contribution that you feel would be an uplifting act for this training. For those seeking the full Work Exchange Scholarship, more time/contribution would be required than for the ½ exchange. For example full exchange includes overseeing the student Seva (service) during the course including (tea and water service, organizing the room before/after the training, keeping the room fresh, handouts, etc.) and organizational support after the completion of the program as well.
Through the application process we look most importantly toward your full commitment to attending and completing the course, your personal contributions to the training, and how you imagine sharing what you receive through this course as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher or otherwise. Once the scholarship is accepted, we will confirm specific ‘duties’ or agreements regarding the exchange.
Who this is for…
The Scholarship is available to everyone who has the desire to become a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, but is lacking the financial funds (single-parents, students, people out of work or with a low income, retired workers, etc.)
We are excited to receive your application! Sat Nam!
