Amissa completed trainings in Mamaste Yoga for Prenatal and Postnatal, Let's Play! Yoga for Kids, Yoga For Women, Ashtanga and Yoga for Beginners as part of her certification. One World Yoga was formed when she started teaching at various locations and needed one place and forum to inform her students of her offerings.
