Edward Vilga

Edward Vilga writes books, film, and theater -- making a little art on the side. Edward has had seven books published (many of which involve his yoga practice) and written and directed two feature films. His novel "Downward Dog" -- the adventures of a bad boy yoga instructor -- was published in paperback in June 2014 by Diversion Books. Edward Vilga's last yoga book and DVD, Yoga In Bed, hit #1 on Amazon.com for all of wellness after he appeared on Regis & Kelly and CBS' Early Show and after his book was featured in People Magazine. In addition, Yoga In Bed has been positively reviewed in over 40 publications and translated into more than a dozen languages. "Miracle In Rwanda", the play he directed and co-created with performer Leslie Lewis Sword, has toured the world. With more than 150 performances over 6 continents, the show has earned rave reviews and won numerous awards. Prior to this, Vilga produced the Obie-winning "My Left Breast" by Susan Miller. He also wrote and directed the feature film "Dead Broke" (Warner Brothers DVD, 2006) that stars Paul Sorvino, John Glover, Tony Roberts, Jill Hennessy, and Justin Theroux. It has won several best direct-to-DVD awards and opened the New York Stories/Anjelica Film Festival. Edward Vilga is a Yale graduate.
