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.
A couple of common threads emerge from these letters. First, many people ask virtually the same questions. Second, comments others share concerning their yoga practice frequently inspire others in their workout.
As a result, highlighting excerpts from letters of others who share your interest in yoga will be a regular feature of our website. The letters will change daily, but you will be able to access all previous letters in the archive .
I believe you’ll find these questions and answers helpful and inspiring.
And I hope you, too, will feel free to write to Wai Lana
with any questions or experiences you’d like to share.
Thank you.

Dear Wai Lana,
I discovered you a month ago on PBS. You have such a rare and wonderful gift to to share.
A number of years ago I began losing my eyesight and am now legally blind. Losing eyesight creates challenges of course. One of the challenges is loss of balance, both physical and within. Your early morning program has given me the opportunity to begin re-learning how to balance my body and my life.
Your clear, precise, and gentle instruction allow me to learn the asanas without having to watch you. I can't begin to tell you how that has helped me. I walk with greater confidence and feel so much better physically, mentally, and spiritually. I often wonder if it is really possible to reach the level of peace that you appear to represent.
Thank you

I love this kit! After a miscarriage I just lost all interest in weight lifting and working out. After working out avidly and then suddenly becoming a couch potato you could imagine that I went to putty. After finally coming out of that I wanted to do something but refused to go back to the gym. So I tried the stretch and strengthen kit. I'm so happy I did! Many of the toning band exercises are much like the weight maching and free weight execises I used to do. The sculpting ball adds an entirely new dimension to my regular stretching warm-up. I'd never done anything like the ball and it's just fun. I really think that this kit is going to help me get back to the rest of my life and start weight lifting again. I also think that I'll still use this kit even when I get back to lifting again.
Thank you for helping me to recover and reclaim my life.

I began watching your show on PBS about a month and a half ago and I absolutely ADORE it! You have the most beautiful, soothing voice that I have ever heard. When I began yoga, I was a depressed, pessimistic person and yoga has completely changed me. My friends now say that I "ooze happiness". I just can't stop smiling and being happy now. In fact, some days, (like today for instance) I am so smiley that by the mid-afternoon, my face hurts. I have since purchsed the Beginners Workout, Toning Workout, and Relaxation Workout. I set my alarm for 5:53 AM to watch your show at 6:00 on Mon. Wed. and Fri. Days when your show is not on (Sat. Sun. Tues. Thurs.) I just pop in one of your DVD's. You have really changed my life, and I thank you very much.
Your #1 fan Forever,
Zach, AZ
