The Blue Lotus Community Fund
The mission of the Blue Lotus Community Fund (BLCF), NFP is to make yoga and holistic health education accessible to all so that the well documented health and mental health benefits of yoga and meditation are not limited to those with means.
BLCF understands that the opportunity to participate in and learn about yoga in a studio setting with the guidance and benefit of an instructor and community is primarily limited by cost.
Today, the average price of a drop-in class is $30/class and monthly memberships can cost as much as $160/month. This barrier to entry has limited exposure and access to yoga and wellness education.
By creating a scholarship program to fund memberships, BLCF intends to expand access to and create affordability for those interested in yoga and wellness who would otherwise be excluded due to financial limitations.
In order to achieve this goal, BLCF created a scholarship program to cover the cost of memberships to Blue Lotus Yoga covering 50%-100% of the cost dependent on the income of recipient.
In addition, BLCF is committed to creating a more diverse community of yoga teachers for the community and at Blue Lotus Yoga, LLC. BLCF intends to create BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ Scholarships for our 200-HR Yoga Teacher Training Program through Blue Lotus School of Yoga. These scholarships will cover 50-100% of the cost of the program & materials, depending on the need of the recipient.
