Access for All
Swami Kripalu, whose teachings form the foundation of the Kripalu methodology, called himself “a pilgrim on the path of love.” He said many times:
“Only love can bring unity and remove the separation between all living beings.”
There is deep suffering in the world. We believe this is caused by a false sense of separation from self, others, and the natural world, leading us off the path of love.
Striving for unity is part of our DNA at Kripalu and as such, we aspire to create a diverse, intergenerational community of practitioners and for Kripalu to be a space of radical belonging for us all.
As an educational nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of donors to help us make this aspiration real and to further Kripalu’s legacy of love.
A big part of this work has been about creating much greater access to what we have to offer and committing to serve as many people as possible through the transformative power and wisdom of yoga. At Kripalu, access means expanding our reach by reducing financial and geographic barriers to participation.
Your donations directly support a variety of programs designed to create access for all at Kripalu including our Group Scholarship Program.
We offer full and partial group scholarships for leaders looking to serve with their own curriculum. Group scholarships provide affinity space for group learning and rest, while having access to the Kripalu sacred container. Scholarships are available for groups who are:
- facing financial barriers
- members of traditionally underserved or marginalized communities such as members of the Global Majority, LGBTQIA+, persons with physical or mental disability, and
- those who serve others such as first responders, frontline workers, educators, activists, artists, veterans and nonprofit leaders
