The Jo Schaeffer Scholarship: For Mothers, Makers, and Artists
Jo, a student and current trainee at Wild Heart Yoga, gave us the gift of showing her artwork. This peice, called the Medicine Wheel, encompasses all 5 elements: earth, air, fire, water, ether. She shared that when she started this painting she had just began her yoga journey at Wild Heart as a student, and found the pullings of the practice deep within her to step into Yoga Teacher Training. During this span she completed the Medicine Wheel. Our Founder and Director of Teacher Training was so moved by her story and expression, that she asked if she could buy the painting. Jo said yes, but only in the form of a YTT Scholarship. She wanted the gift to be passed on so another human could experience the magic and transformation of teacher training. And so, here it is!
As mothers and creatives, we pour our hearts out everyday to give to others, without giving to ourselves. This scholarship is a way to honor our own hearts by saying yes to doing something we love! The intention of this scholarship is to offer opportunities to:

Jenna offers her students a path to experiential learning with a well-rounded practice and meditation.
Kim Unik- Specialty Trainer
For Kim, yoga was love at first Savasana over a decade ago. It was both the most awkward and incredibly peaceful experience within the span of an hour she had ever had. After dealing with chronic pain and mental health issues, she knew that it was the power of breath, movement, presence, and self-inquiry that would lead to her healing and liberation. Always a student, Kim has also completed courses in Core-Strength Vinyasa, Thai Yoga, Yin Yoga, and various meditation practices. Kim teaches from a place of intuition and authenticity and offers the opportunity to show up and meet yourself exactly where you are.

She also noticed a lack of diversity in the yoga teacher community and wished to become certified so that she could reach people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
