Scholarships
The Sat Yoga Ashram is a spiritual refuge for serious seekers looking for a sacred space to heal and grow spiritually. If you wish to join us but have limited financial resources, please inquire about our partial scholarships in the form below or by email to Amrita [email protected].
We wish we could offer more scholarships than we do, but we depend on love offerings and we ask your support to enable us to welcome more people who yearn for Self realization. Please donate to our scholarship fund so we can provide the needed assistance in our environment of wisdom and love.
General Requirements for Prospective Applicants
- A sincere interest and, ideally, some experience in meditation
- A genuine desire to practice a less egocentric mode of living

- A willingness to take part in transformational healing (Atmanology) sessions
