WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT LILIAS! DVDs, CDs AND BOOKS
"I have had the pleasure of spending
time with Lilias some years ago and again in LA at the IAYT
conference in January. She is a remarkable Yogini, who has much
to teach us in relation to taking complex ideas and Yogic
principles and techniques and making them remarkable simple and
suitable for beginners without losing the richness and depth.
Her new book is aimed at the 'not so young' and is a book that
should grace the shelf of all Yoga teachers who want to be
inspired with numerous ideas for keeping it clear, simple and
authentic. It is often difficult to recommend a book to
reasonably new students who can easily be intimidated by the
complexity of many of the contemporary classical texts. This
book is certain 'beginner safe' and is well worth recommending
to your students.

WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY ABOUT LILIAS
WORKSHOPS
"I have been doing yoga since 1964,
when I was 16, and the biggest influence during those years has
been Lilias. I watched the show during the 70's and modified my
practice to be more like hers. In the classes I teach, my
approach is very much like that of Lilias, and I have every one
of her books (even a very beat-up paperback from the 70's. So
when she appeared in Huntsville, AL in May 2007 I went out of my
way (quite a bit out of my way) to attend the weekend. It was
even better than anticipated--and Lilias was even better. What a
wonderful, gracious presence! I highly recommend her sessions.
The calmness, serenity, and yoga high are inspiring."
"This weekend was MAGIC. Like a
visit from an angel. Thank you for your beauty, grace and open
heart. You touched everyone in Huntsville, Shanti, Shanti,
Shanti."
"Have never attended a program of
this length before. It certainly exceeded my expectations.
Lilias has a wonderful way--gentle and thorough ability to
teach."
-Barbara
"The feeling of community is
wonderful. I was afraid of coming by myself and felt so at home.
We are all on the journey together. Thank you. Namaste.
-Cathy
"I want to thank you for the
beautiful weekend at St. Joseph's. It was one of the peak
experiences of my life. I have been staying in touch with my
Inner Smile all day, not an easy feat when you work in an
inner-city school as I do. Your gift to me has been passed on to
the staff at school in the form of the short passage (I shall
pass through this world but once, etc...) I think we had a much
kinder day at PS16! Thank you again. Peace."

ON PBS
"This is a letter about watching
Lilias Folan, the first woman of yoga, on PBS in New Jersey.
Watching Lilias was a life-changing experience for me. Her
gentle guidance in yoga planted a seed that has grown within me
over the years and recently, I became a yoga teacher myself! I
had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Lilias this weekend in San
Diego and taking a class from her. Her spirit glows with the
richness of wisdom and experience--a beacon in a time of change.
We support public television financially and wish you to know
personally that quality programming makes a difference! It would
be wonderful to continue to have Lilias on PBS because her work
and message continues to inspire and inform us as we grow
older."
-Jean
"I love Lilias! You are such an
inspiration. I enjoy waking up to your show on CET in the
mornings. It is a wonderful way to start the day. My
seven-year-old daughter practices too. We have shared some yoga
with her class at school. It was a lot of fun. Yoga is a
wonderful way for us to spend some time together. Namaste.
-Meredith
"I remember watching your TV show
about 30 years ago when we were both younger. Yoga has kept you
young. I am trying to get into a regular practice so your show
at 6:30 a.m. Mon-Fri. on WCET is helping. Our culture seems to
need a dose of inner peace; I practice yoga for the overall
health benefits, including inner peace. Thank you for sharing
your love of yoga."
-Deborah
"I love doing yoga with Lilias at 6
a.m. in Phoenix. Your gentle guidance is a wonderful way to
start the day."
-Lu Ann
"Lilias, I have been a student of
yours for SO many years! First, from your TV series, then at the
Feathered Pipe Ranch week in July 1986, and Black Mountain, NC
in May 1996. I came to yoga in my 40's and now at 77 with
continuing regular practice find it to be my greatest health
benefit. Thank you, my friend, for it all."
-Caryl
"Your work in the a.m. show inspires
me to get on with my work each day. At 57 years the body needs a
jump start to wake up! I always learn from your teachings. I am
grateful in life for teachers like you, who assist in the
betterment of life. Thank you so much."
-Elissa
