Thank you for your interest in The Bhaktishop Yoga Center, and getting some more info on our Hard Times Benefit! The purpose of the Benefit is to make yoga available to anyone, no matter their financial situation. Awards will be given out either in entirety or in full, depending on the financial need of the applicant.

We will continue to give and give in your service, but please know that our funds are indeed limited, and so submitting an application for the Hard Times Benefit does not guarantee that you will receive one.The benefit is available in three levels: 10-class cards for $25, $50, and Complimentary. Please indicate on the application which level you are applying for.
