“It is my goal to share the gift of yoga by making it easy for everyone to experience its life giving benefits.”

Over the years, many people who have been introduced to yoga by Wai Lana, or who have been inspired by her in their yoga practice, have written with questions or gracious expressions of gratitude.

I love to wake up with Wai Lana in the morning

As a long time practitioner of yoga I find Wai Lana Yoga to be the very best. She does yoga very slowly, the way it is supposed to be done. She also explains all the benefits the body derives from the different yoga postures in a very comprehensive manner. Wai Lana Yoga is the most beautiful and beneficial. The music and scenery are enjoyable, uplifting and meditative. I love to wake up with Wai Lana in the morning. I miss watching her so much since she is no longer aired on my local station in New York, nothing can replace Wai Lana Yoga.

I love stretching with Wai Lana Yoga

A day without Wai Lana is like a day without sunshine! I love stretching with Wai Lana Yoga every morning. I also enjoy listening to the Meditation Trilogy. Practicing the “Rest and Relax” helps me breathe better.

I love it when she sings, I just melt off into oblivion.

I have been watching Wai Lana on TV for many years. I’m very impressed with her right down to her smile! She really wants to help people, it’s hard to find someone that genuine these days. I love it when she sings, I just melt off into oblivion. I’m 70 years old, I definitely cannot do everything that Wai Lana does, but I do what I can. I say it is never too late to try something new especially if it makes you feel great.

I look forward to doing my yoga with Wai Lana

When I get up in the morning, I look forward to doing my yoga with Wai Lana. It makes me feel great and it gives me peace of mind. It releases a lot of stress that I have in my daily life, with my job, and with other personal matters. It also has helped more than anything with some physical problems that I have such as back issues, constipation, and some arthritis. It always works for me. I look at myself in the mirror when I’m putting on my make-up to go to work and I see a glow. If I don’t do her yoga, it’s not the same. There’s a glow there, all that blood circulating through my body. It’s just amazing.

I like Wai Lana’s sound meditation

I like Wai Lana’s sound meditation because of the experience I had in silent meditation. With the silence it’s like your thoughts are moving or wandering. That’s definitely a distinct difference in Wai Lana’s sound meditation versus the silent meditation. It puts the mind in the right place instead of your thoughts wandering in silent meditation.

I like everything about Wai Lana

I like everything about Wai Lana. So many people in New York are yoga people and she has so many fans here. I love the entire set up of her show, the beautiful background, her clothing and the way she explains everything so clearly. I love all the exercises she does. She even does exercises for your eyes! I love the fact that Wai Lana focuses so much on physical health. She is very different from other yoga teachers I have seen.

I keep up with people that are much younger than me

I have found practicing yoga with Wai Lana that I have a better sense of balance and more strength… my flexibility has improved. I walk a lot, two miles nearly every day, and at a good pace, I keep up with people that are much younger than me, and I feel that vitality—I’ve got more vitality than the average person of my age.

I just really love how it makes my body feel

I really love her style. I love how she really works the spine, the inverted poses… And the hip opening. All the stretches that she does. I just really love how it makes my body feel.

I just love Wai Lana

I just love Wai Lana, she is really, really good. I watched 5 different yoga instructors before finding Wai Lana and she is definitely the best.

Karen from Florida

I just feel so much better.

I really wouldn’t like to imagine going through life without doing Wai Lana Yoga.  Yes, it does take discipline and yes, it does take setting aside a part of time to do that, but the benefits that I get back – I just feel so much better.

I just love the music

I’m intrigued by Wai Lana. I just love the music and the background of her yoga shows. It is so lovely when she sings with the kids in her kids videos.

I have gained so much good health

I feel so grateful for everything Wai Lana has done for me. I have gained so much good health. My local TV station recently took Wai Lana off the air, I don’t know what I will do without her. I have different issues with my body but once I do yoga with Wai Lana I’m a happy girl!

I have been practicing neti every day for a year now

I have been practicing neti every day for a year now, and for the first time I can remember, I didn’t get sick during cold and flu season. When my husband got sick, my son caught it as well. I increased my neti practice to twice a day while they were sick and I never caught it! That’s unheard of for me. I am so grateful to you for teaching me this wonderful technique. I have encouraged all my friends and family to try neti.

I gain new experiences every time I do your yoga

I’ve started out for the first time in years to try to exercise to get in shape, all of the programs seem to want too much from you ( me, that is, of course).

We have Denise Austin, Jennifer Galardi: who are all good athletes and stuff, but none of their workouts seem as easy as yours. i’ve always wanted to be flexible and the other programs never seem to do that. then i saw on the TV guide channel Wai Lana Yoga, and i just started to watch it since then.

I gain new experiences every time i do your yoga. i watch it every day now, and i actually lost a few pounds by doing it. i’ve become one of your biggest fans or your biggest fan and thank you for sharing yoga with everyone, you really make it seem easy. i hope you write me back, it would really mean a lot to me.

Thank you!

I feel a sense of peace

Dear Wailana, I have had the pleasure of watching your program for about a year and a half. I came upon it accidentally, or maybe by fate when my dad became ill and i had to make early calls to him and my mom. Immediately your manner and voice were the soothing connection i needed. As I began following the program i felt better. In fact it was and is the only time i feel a sense of peace and ease from the stressors of life. Living in NYC alone can do that, but with family issues, so much more.

I had my mom also watch–at 84 she is good at doing some of the program too. Six months ago my dad passed away and my mom broke her hip. This program has saved me and i have written wnye telling them how vital the show is and what a resource it is. I have your tapes, just bought a mat so i feel even more of a connection. I am hoping that soon my mom can return to practicing. She does the breathing and arm stretches and it helps. For me, it is a way to find myself again. I hope i do but wanted you to know how you touch and help heal people. Bless you and thank you.

I feel amazing after practicing Wai Lana Yoga

I feel amazing after practicing Wai Lana Yoga. I’ve been practicing yoga for about 36 years and discovered Wai Lana a few years ago. Other yoga teachers don’t make me feel amazing like Wai Lana does. I feel happy and my body becomes energized.

Wai Lana has a great personality, has nice energy, is happy and has a beautiful way about her. I love that the ocean is in the background when she is teaching yoga.

I Feel Amazing

I’ve been in the service industry, serving food and bartending. And I always had so much pain in my shoulders from the heavy lifting and the trays, and with the Wai Lana Yoga… all that tension and stress has just gone away. I have no more shoulder pain, I feel like I stand up taller. I can breathe deeper. I feel amazing.

I enjoy doing yoga with you

I enjoy doing yoga with you on the pbs station. Because of your progam I donated to the public broadcasting system. God bless you:)
