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.

Wailana, ever since I accidently caught your show a few monthes ago, my life has changed! I have lost ten lbs and counting. I am excercising and doing yoga everyday. I am already a spiritual person so yoga fits perfectly into my lifestyle. Thank you so much for bringing it to the people!

Today was the first time I saw your program, and I wished it lasted forever.
I'm very motivated to practice your lessons, and very sorry for not having discovered such an interesting thing to do before, as well as not having the possibility of receiving your personal teachings.
You are such a sweet and beautiful lady that it makes me wish to meet you and be your friend, at least in my nicest dreams.
God bless you, and best regards,
Pedro J.
Dear Wai Lana,
I've seen and tried your program a few times. Doing this has inspired me to pursue yoga as a relaxation process whenever I feel stressed out. Thank you, and continue the good work.

Dearest Wai Lana,
I hope I am able to express, without making this a lengthy letter, the sincere gratitude and appreciation some of us here in San Diego hold for you and the wonderful gift of Yoga you are passing on.
Several of my co-workers and I have been working out to your Yoga videos for the past few months here at the Federal Courts in San Diego. Our job is somewhat stressful, especially with all that is entailed in the daily routine of the justice department. We started practicing yoga on a daily basis with your videos (what we call "Lunch Hour Yoga with Wai Lana") and find working out in the middle of the day not only relieves the ongoing stress in our jobs, but also relaxes and brings inner peace to each one of us, especially when we complete our workout by unwinding to the soothing music meditations and Yoga Sounds.
Just recently, a majority of San Diego residences were victims of the tragic and traumatic fires that scorched and destroyed certain areas, including some of the neighborhoods of my fellow co-workers. Many went through some very stressful and uncertain times, even those who had to temporarily evacuate. Upon returning to work this week, we found new participants working out with us during our "Lunch Hour Yoga." At the end of each workout, while everyone was unwinding to your music meditations, it was very touching to hear the following expression softly spoken throughout the room, "Wow, I really, really needed this. This is so beautiful."
Thank you again, Wai Lana, for touching our lives with your beautiful gift of Yoga and helping us experience a deeper meaning within.
Aloha from San Diego,
Bia
