muddy waters
scholarship program

We believe that yoga is for everyone. Our scholarship program serves to help build an inclusive yoga community in Winona. We believe the teachings, practice, and benefits of yoga should be accessible for everyone across all socioeconomic and demographic groups.

These scholarships are meant to encourage individuals who are passionate about delving into their spiritual practice, benefiting from the physical practice of yoga, or simply turning around their lives in a positive way.

You need not be an expert yogi or even have practiced yoga before, the only thing needed is a passion to participate and a motivation to utilize the tools and techniques of yoga to benefit your life. We look forward to finding candidates who are interested in being a part of the Muddy community. A special invitation to apply is extended to those who have experienced discrimination because of their identity and/or to those who belong to traditionally marginalized groups.
