You will have ideas and tools to explore funding and other resources. You will also develop a pilot program and will leave the program confident and prepared to deliver meaningful experiences in your community.

All of this will happen in a learning community of supportive, engaged, and inspiring peers.

During this 3-month program, you will:

• Learn to identify potential community partners and places/spaces where Yoga can be of service in your community.
• Get valuable information about networking and writing proposals for program considerations.
