The actress, who stars in the new film Blue Valentine, says that yoga helped her grieve the loss of Heath Ledger, the father of her daughter, Matilda, and gave her strength to be a single mother. As a result of her experiences, along with two local yoga teachers she’s launching a pilot program in Boston, called The Yoga for Single Moms Project.

Teacher Training Scholarships

July 23rd, 2009 levis25

If you’ve always wanted to become a yoga teacher but the stars haven’t aligned to make it possible, this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Yoga Works, the yoga studio chain with 23 studios in California and New York, and Zobha, the yoga clothing company, are offering a need-based yoga teacher training scholarship in January 2010. This pilot program will be for the Yoga Works 200-hour teacher training at the new Walnut Creek, California location (that’s near San Francisco, for those of you who aren’t familiar). “ The scholarship
will be available to individuals who are excellent candidates for the program,
but may not have the means to make it a reality,” said a recent press release. When I learn more about the application process, I’ll be sure to let you know.
