It
would be difficult, if not impossible, to find anyone as influential
as Wai Lana in bringing yoga to the mainstream. Her internationally
aired TV series continuously attracts a huge audience and plays
a key role in yoga’s skyrocketing popularity. Famous for
making it easy and effective, Wai Lana excels at making the
ancient art of yoga a life-enhancing experience for anyone
who practices along with her.
Wai Lana is not only a beautiful and charming modern-day yoga advocate, but also
a highly energetic and prolific artist. She has produced several yoga
videos and DVDs for people of all levels, published books, designed kids’ products,
recorded music and meditation albums, and produced and hosted nearly two hundred
half-hour television programs of yoga instruction. Wai Lana is one of the most
well known yoga teachers in the world today. Her daily yoga
TV shows are regularly watched by millions of people around the globe on
five continents, including in the United States, where her shows appear nationwide
on many PBS stations.
Along with co-directing and hosting her TV shows, Wai Lana also designs the colorful
clothes and flower garlands she wears during production. She travels the world
to shoot her projects in the world’s most beautiful, pristine locations
in order to create inspiring visuals for her audience. Instructing us from the
breathtaking coastlines of California and Hawaii to the snow-capped mountains
of New Zealand to the spectacular red rock deserts of Sedona, Wai Lana has become
a favorite of viewers of all ages—from preschoolers to great-grandparents.
Among Wai Lana's most recent endeavors is her Little
Yogis line for children. Two lively, colorful DVD workouts combine
live action, catchy songs, and playful cartoons to make yoga
fun for kids. She also gives us her Daydream CD and DVD to help children
calm down and rest with soothing sights and melodious sounds. Her Little
Yogis card games and coloring books are also a delight for the family with
hours of fun and games. An artistic accomplishment in itself, Wai Lana’s
beautifully illustrated Fun Exercise book is filled with charming characters,
funny jokes, playful activities, and secret surprises to get kids exercising
and loving it.
As a yoga practitioner and vegetarian for over twenty years, Wai Lana’s
commitment to good health couldn’t be more evident than in the luscious,
mouth-watering recipes she shares in her popular book, Wai
Lana’s Favorite Juices.
Well known by now are Wai Lana’s yoga
exercise videos and DVDs. The Easy Yoga Series is now available around
the world in different languages, as is her second series, Hello
Fitness Yoga. A third, Fun
Challenge, targets intermediate and more advanced levels. She also has
a new series in the works.
Her faithful exercise products continue to impress with their quality, durability,
and fashionable designs. Whether it’s a cushy Yoga & Pilates Mat
or a body-sculpting exercise ball, Wai Lana is firm in her goal to bring people
the best quality for the best prices.
The latest addition to her array of user-friendly products are her fusion fitness
kits, which combine yoga and Pilates exercise with resistance training to make
for fast, focused fitness on the go. Lightweight and portable, these simple accessories,
like resistance bands and cords, stow easily in a briefcase or suitcase to help
busy people stay fit. Each kit includes a yoga and Pilates-inspired video/DVD
for the most effective body-mind workouts available.
In addition to the spectacular scenic backgrounds, all of Wai Lana’s
productions feature beautiful, soothing soundtracks to help viewers relax and
let go of stress while they exercise. Including many original vocal recordings
of her own, Wai Lana’s yoga
music has attracted an audience of its own.
The soundtracks from her yoga DVDs feature songs from the albums, Yoga
Music of the Heart and Yoga
Sound. These are just the first of several albums Wai Lana will be releasing
in the category of New Age/Relaxation music.
To the serene and warm-hearted Wai Lana, the teaching of yoga is not a business
but an important service to the global community. She has dedicated her life
to this endeavor, and what began in a small way has grown very quickly.
Wai Lana has traveled the world for the past fifteen years, working with dedicated
professionals from different countries to produce the highest quality work in
every field into which she ventures. This has earned Wai Lana unmatched admiration
and made her a household name. Wai Lana’s popularity and recognition is
certain to increase as she continues to make the timeless gift of yoga easy and
effective for millions more. |
