Quest for Truth

Scholarship Program

Where it all began.

The Quest for Truth Scholarship Fund was created in memory of Trevor Smith, beloved cousin of True Self Yoga’s founders and a cherished part of our community. Trevor’s life and spirit helped shape the early heart of this space — rooted in truth, compassion, and inclusion.

This fund reflects our ongoing commitment to equity and access. It’s where our mission began, and it continues to guide how we show up for each other and for our wider community.

Quest for Truth supports three core programs:

  • Youth Scholarships for students ages 14–18
  • BIPOC & LGBTQIA2S+ Scholarships
  • Community Financial Support for those experiencing hardship (new addition! begins Oct 1st!)

Every membership and donation and every application keeps Trevor’s legacy alive – and helps create a space where all are truly welcome.

What a magnificent studio oasis!

True Self is the best yoga studio in Olympia by far! Their variety of classes, from heated and regular, as well as their beautiful studio space, and the deeply passionate and knowledgeable owners all create a safe and supportive yoga community. - Sarah Burdette

They've created and hold space for their yogis so well that even the studio seems to have a sense of it's true self.

I've been a yogi in Olympia for about 10 years and True Self Yoga is the first studio that meets all of my yoga needs, and then some. When you visit True Self, you don't walk straight into a yoga room like most studios. - Camy Naasz

The heated room boasts a special heating system that you need to experience!

Beautiful space to practice with a variety of class offerings, great instructors, kombucha on tap and the latest yoga gear. Two studios: one heated and the other non-heated. Floors are always clean and they also have showers in the changing rooms, which is a must for hot yoga! - Rese Kim

With their combined yoga and meditation experiences and with deep roots in the Olympia community, husband-and-wife team, Vajra Romano and Christina Lagdameo, have established True Self Yoga with the mission to bring out your highest good.
