Boreal Bliss Scholarship Foundation
Our retreats are inclusive and create a welcoming space for people to rediscover nature, learn more about the beneficial practice of yoga and tools to manage stress. Retreats rooted in nature and yoga are an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, as well as to other like-minded individuals.
Our scholarship foundation was created to reduce barriers, and increase access.

As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the yoga space, we offer scholarships to our yoga retreats, events, workshops, and classes. Virtual classes, workshops, and on-demand memberships are also included in our scholarships. We prioritize Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC).
We work carefully to make sure our retreats feel emotionally and culturally safe for all individuals.
-
We’ve prioritized scholarships since our yoga retreat business inception in 2017. In 2023, we realized we needed to establish a 501c3 non-profit in order to create a more sustainable path moving forward, and to allow us to expand our scholarship opportunities.
-
We prioritize scholarships to BIPOC individuals because we recognize the collective trauma of hate crimes committed against people of color, systemic racism, generational inequality, and the ongoing struggle with racism in America causes chronic stress, which results in ongoing mental, emotional, and physical health issues. The stress of dealing with constant adversity, on top of everyday life, makes it difficult for many to seek out holistic preventative healthcare through such restorative practices as time in nature, breathwork, yoga, rest, and relaxation. We believe that creating inclusive, safe spaces, for individuals to heal is critical to the difficult work of dismantling racism and building a more equitable future.
-
We passionately believe that time spent in nature is healing, empowering, and restorative. We believe in teaching individuals simple practices like breathwork, movement, mindfulness, and meditation can have long-term benefits on health and wellness.
