Scholarship Program
At Manas Yoga Vienna, our scholarship program represents the very heart of our mission—ensuring that transformative yoga education reaches every soul called to this ancient practice, regardless of their financial circumstances. We understand that the path to yoga often begins with a deep inner knowing, a quiet voice that whispers of healing and growth. Financial barriers should never silence that calling or prevent someone from embarking on their sacred journey of self-discovery and yoga mastery.
We believe that when we remove these obstacles, we don’t just change individual lives—we strengthen our entire yoga community, creating ripples of transformation that extend far beyond our studio walls.
