| Scholarships for Yoga Classes and Workshops |
|
Our mission is to make the benefits of yoga
available to everyone regardless of financial ability to pay class fees.
We structure our class fees to keep yoga classes affordable for most
people. We offer scholarships for individuals
with low income who otherwise would not have access to yoga classes or
yoga teacher training. We can also offer limited fee reductions to
students with temporary financial hardships such as layoff,
unemployment, bankruptcy or other hardship. If you are interested in a scholarship, please phone Linda Naulty, the studio manager at 502-410-8324 for an application. Do not request a scholarship if you or a family member already have a yoga studio or gym membership or if your income exceeds $48,000 per year. We normally do not award aid or scholarships for workshops or teacher training to non-Yoga East students. When we award aid we consider whether you have attended classes with us before, and whether you have supported Yoga East's non-profit mission by attending classes with us in the past, by donating to our mission, or by volunteering. Please note that aid recipients and amounts of awards are reported to the IRS annually. |

| Frequently-Asked Questions About Yoga |
What class is best for

More Questions and Answers About Yoga What class is best for my back injury?Gentle Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Mysore-Style Ashtanga classes show the fundamentals of alignment and posture. Regular attendance and practice further develop your awareness of good posture and good body mechanics. All yoga classes will build strength in the muscles that support your back and increase flexibility in the spine and hips. It is important to follow instructions, to listen to your body, and avoid straining in the postures. Consult with your physician if you have doubts about your ability to participate in yoga class. What happens in a private lesson? Private lessons give individual instruction. Some lessons focus on toning and conditioning and others are for students with conditions or injuries. Not all students should attend a group yoga class. Students with a serious illness or injury such as paralysis, stroke, active pain, unhealed rotator cuff tear, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, or swollen joints should not attend a regular group yoga class. Private instruction with a trained yoga teacher may be more appropriate. Our teachers are trained to modify yoga postures for many different conditions. Private lessons for conditioning and toning are a great way to learn and practice yoga if your schedule does not permit you to attend regular classes or if you want the benefits and privacy of one-on-one instruction. In a private lesson, a certified teacher can: - Assess your abilities Please contact the teacher of your choice for private lessons. |

Yoga East was founded in 1974 by Maja Trigg and incorporated as a non-profit educational organization in 1978. Maja retired in 1994 and trained three of her students to teach yoga and assume management of the organization she founded. Donna O'Bryan, Linda Hodge and Laura Spaulding took over in April, 1994 and opened a small basement studio on Grinstead Drive. In 1996 Yoga East moved to a larger studio at 1119 E. Kentucky Street. In 1999 we moved up the street to a newly-renovated building at 1135 East Kentucky Street. The old Kentucky Street studio was a lovely space with lavender walls, glass block windows and a deck overlooking the creek. Sadly, on August 17, 2005, a section of the concrete roof cracked in half and the roof collapsed into the studio. Luckily no one was injured but the building was damaged beyond repair. A year later, in September, 2006, we moved to 1121 E. Kentucky St, next door to our first Kentucky Street location. In March, 2001, we opened our second location at the Holiday Manor Shopping Center. We opened the Bonnycastle Studio, our 3rd location in March, 2004. In June, 2006 we arranged to have a year-round residential retreat center in Mysore, India to enable our students and teachers to study with K. Pattabhi Jois. In February, 2007, we took over the space formerly leased by Full Moon Yoga. In December, 2007 we expanded the Kentucky Street studio to add another studio space, office, storage space and library and closed the Bonnycastle Studio (which we had outgrown). Yoga East has grown over the years, but our corporate philosophy and mission has remained the same: To make the benefits of yoga available to all in the Greater Louisville community. |
