refund and withdrawal policy

Refund/Withdrawal Policy

We have been training teachers since 1995, and many of our teachers are successfully pursuing a career teaching yoga. Our experience has shown that applicants who studied yoga in Yoga East classes for at least two years before entering teacher training are most likely to successfully complete the course. If you have not had two years of Yoga East class experience we urge you to consider postponing your training until you have more experience. You should also postpone the training if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, if you are starting a new business, or if you are enrolled in college or graduate school, as all of these circumstances in the past have caused students to have to withdraw from the training.

Specific refund policies are shown on the application.

scholarships, financial aid and work-study

programs available

Work-study fellowship grants available ($250 tuition reduction)

Rhonda Lawson Memorial Scholarship
awarded to a Yoga East student who has regularly attended classes with us
for more than one year and shown steadfast commitment to Yoga East
and our non-profit mission by volunteering at the studio.

Financial aid is based on financial need and takes the form of work-study opportunities. These opportunities include teaching yoga in supervised settings, assisting an experienced teacher, teaching yoga to seniors, cancer survivors, at-risk children and teens, shelter residents and other classes for individuals who may not normally have access to yoga classes.

Financial aid is only available to students with demonstrated financial need, who have maintained a regular practice in classes at Yoga East for a minimum of one year prior to taking teacher training-level classes.

Rhonda Lawson Memorial Scholarship Fund

Named in honor of our teacher training student Rhonda Lawson. The day before she was to have begun our teacher training program in 2004, Rhonda was seriously injured in an automobile accident and passed away a few days later. This scholarship honors the memory of Rhonda, a dedicated student who wanted to bring the benefits of yoga to as many people as possible. The scholarship pays the total tuition for a student to complete our 200 Hour Foundation Yoga Teacher Training. Please note that there are prerequisites, the most important of which is that you have maintained regular class attendance for a significant period of time, a minimum of one year. If you do not currently attend classes at Yoga East, you need to establish a record of regular attendance before we will consider your application. One scholarship is awarded each year to the most deserving student with financial need.
