Work Study Opportunities

At Chi-Town Shakti, our Work Study program is for students who want to increase their role in our community, are serious about the pursuit of an urban Yoga practice, and LOVE doing yoga with us! What sets our work study program apart, is our deep commitment to Yoga lifestyle. Our connection to ShambhavAnanda Yoga® affords participants an opportunity to deeply experience Yoga surrounded by a supportive community who truly live their practice. As a ShambhavAnanda Yoga® affiliate center, we seek to offer authentic yoga and meditation programming while respecting the tradition and deep spiritual roots of yoga.

What you will receive:

  • Work study students have access to unlimited yoga and meditation classes at the studio (Note: Work-study students are admitted on a first-come-first-serve basis and after our teacher trainees and all paying students, provided there is space. This is rarely a problem and you will quickly learn which classes do occasionally fill up.)

  • If you stay for 9 months or longer (completing a total of 150 hours), you will also receive 50% off of your 200 hour Teacher Training. (Occasionally, we will allow a student to complete workstudy and teacher training concurrently. Please contact us for more information).

What you will be expected to do:

  • Work study positions include doing seva (selfless service, a form of karma yoga) which may include data entry, marketing, maintenance and cleaning, as well as front desk class check-in.

  • Each participant will work 1 to 2 shifts per week.

  • Each shift is 4 hours long.

  • Each participant will be encouraged to attend at least one meditation class per week - Sunday Community Meditation (1015 to 1115 am - online or in-person) or Tuesday Evening Community Meditation (8 to 830 pm online) or Sunday Evening Candlelight Yoga + Meditation.


Work Study Applicants:

  • Make at least a 3 month minimum commitment.

  • Have attended at least three classes at the studio previously.

  • Should be engaging, friendly, organized and responsible.

  • Are prompt and reliable.

  • Take advantage of the opportunity to go to classes and workshops, becoming an active member of the community
