BIOGRAPHY: Ila Sarley

Ila Kelly Sarley is a leader and social entrepreneur in the field of wellness education. Her specialty is running holistic learning centers and serving nonprofit organizations. Ila has held leadership positions with three of the largest and most-influential holistic learning centers in the United States.

She is a founding member of the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health and returned there in 2004 to serve as President. She co-led a renewal of vision, mission, and business development which resulted in quadrupling net revenues for the nonprofit organization, putting it on a path of financial sustainability. For nine years, Ila also served as the Director of Marketing and Communications at the country’s largest holistic education provider: Omega Institute for Holistic Studies.

Most recently, Ila helped launch the 1440 Foundation, where she co-developed a national network of programs bringing daily meditation practice to public schools as a way to improve academic performance, reduce stress, and increase overall systemic resiliency. Ila provided skilled leadership for the brand-new 1440 Multiversity. She lay the foundation of the business and organization to build a year-round workshop program calendar of exceptional talent and variety and a corresponding marketing strategy that successfully achieved 10,000 sales in year one.

Ila’s passion lies in developing the organization’s brand identity, program curriculum, and marketing strategy in partnership with key stakeholders. She aims to successfully fulfill the institution’s mission and vision while generating mission impact and financial sustainability. She applies her knowledge and experience of living in a contemplative community and holding multiple executive leadership positions to gaining positive and lasting results for her clients.
