Hey! My name is Urooj and I am fundraising for my Yoga Therapist certification.

I have been teaching Yoga for almost a decade now. What began as mere curiosity has evolved into a full realisation of a life of service. To help serve my people, my community, my friends and family better, and most importantly, to fill my own cup to be adept at doing this work, I am challenging myself to go a lot deeper by fully immersing in a Yoga Therapist certification in Toronto, Canada.

I am from Karachi, Pakistan. Going next door to India to receive this training and these teachings is not an option for me - it is ironic and unfortunate. And so I have had to make my way over to Toronto, Canada, where I have found a beautiful place to pursue this. Needless to say, it’s not what I am equipped to handle financially. And I have been unsuccessful at finding grants for this kind of training.

So I am here, and asking for help. I am asking for support so I may pay it forward and apply my existence the way I believe I was meant to.

Your contribution will help me:

- Cover a fraction of my tuition fee

- Acquire supplemental study materials such as books and subscriptions, and essential yoga equipment (bolsters, blocks, straps, stools, etc.)

- Cover costs for transportation, studio rentals, and short-term boarding during my Practicum Projects and Internship

- Provide free consultations and classes to students who are financially disadvantaged

Any help I receive towards this mission of mine I accept with infinite gratitude and accountability.
