Abby\u2019s approach is informed by studies in social justice and democratic education at Pacific Oaks College, as well as two decades of training in yoga. Having taught thousands of hours of yoga lessons in schools over the past fifteen+ years, Abby felt deeply compelled to create a program that could reach teens who don\u2019t have the privilege of yoga classes in their schools. Abby is a mother of two lively boys. She makes her home with her husband in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How To Sign Up:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Visit our <a title=\"Sign Up\" href=\"http:\/\/shantigeneration.com\/educational\/sign-up\/\">sign up<\/a>\u00a0page and chose from two options:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Partner Yoga \u2013 <\/span>one year educational license.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Partner Yoga \u2013\u00a0<\/span>three year educational license.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These licenses are for school-wide use.\u00a0 If you are a Title One School, please contact us for a discount code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previews \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>We provide previews to funded media buyers from educational institutions via our online Private Client Screening Room. \u00a0<a title=\"Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/shantigeneration.com\/educational\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a> for access.

When I came across Shanti Generations Partner yoga for teens I was instantly moved and inspired. Abby Wills creates a safe and peaceful environment for teens to connect with themselves and to each other. Learning to work together and to listen to one another are some of the benefits that teens will learn to do while watching this DVD. I will certainly use these methods in my own teachings. With a DVD like this out on the market, I am convinced it will help a generation learn to work together more harmoniously. I highly recommend this to teachers, Parents, teens and any yoga teacher who is interested in working with children and teens.&#8221; \u2014 Jennie Faye, Yoga Teacher<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Abby Wills\u2019 wealth of experience working with this age group is very clear. Her voice is both strong and soothing, and immediately creates a safe space for adolescents to explore. Her choice of language is very clear and impressively age-appropriate. I love how she offers step-by-step suggestions for greater understanding of each pose. The yoga sequences are fun and easy to follow, the choreography is exquisite, the set designs calming and beautiful and the musical accompaniment is brilliant. Thank you for moving yoga education forward with such love and respect.&#8221; \u2014 Deborah Van Handel, Youth Yoga Teacher and Trainer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/shantigeneration.com\/educational\/sign-up\/\">Sign up here<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designed Specifically For Schools: Designed specifically to fit into the classroom schedule, PARTNER YOGA FOR TEENS is a series of ten 5-minute Partner Yoga videos accompanied by a 25 page teacher training manual.
