Yoga Ed. Instructor Certification with Abby Wills

June 15 - 22


This program has been cancelled.

If you would like to share the benefits of yoga with today's youth, this training will provide you with the structure, skills, techniques, resources and confidence to teach Yoga Ed. to students (grades K - 8) and their teachers. You will learn how to tailor lessons for different age groups, integrate yoga into the school culture, teach life skills and promote health through yoga practice. This certification will qualify you to teach yoga to children as part of a physical education curriculum and to train teachers how to incorporate yoga tools into their daily classroom schedule to enhance learning, wellness and behavior management.

Prerequisite: Yoga teacher training or equivalent training in a body-based practice such as dance, physical education or sports, and a strong personal yoga practice. If you have questions about the prerequisites, please call Yoga Ed. directly at (310) 471-1742 or email them at leah@yogaed.com.

Abby Wills, a Yoga Ed. instructor, teaches kids and teens at public, private and yoga schools in Los Angeles, California. Teaching since 1991, Abby is devoted to sharing the light of yoga with youth of all ages. Her teaching is informed by the yoga traditions of the Krishnamacharya lineage, Tantric views and practices, as well as progressive, constructivist theories of development. Among her teaching certificates, Abby holds the title of Yoga Siromani, which she received as a result of intensive studies at the Sivananda Vedanta Yoga Ashram in Kerala, India. Her studies include Yoga Works teacher training under the guidance of Maty Ezraty and Lisa Walford, and Yoga Ed. certification and yoga philosophy at Loyola Marymount University. Abby has been blessed to practice meditation under the guidance of master teachers including Pema Chödrön, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Thrangu Rinpoche, Sharon Salzburg and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. In addition to facilitating teachers' trainings internationally, Abby is currently teaching kids and teens in Los Angeles, California, at New Roads Middle School, the Walther School and Silverlake Yoga.
