Wai Lana In The Media

Wai Lana, children’s yoga teacher and host of the long-running PBS television series Wai Lana Yoga, makes the world of children’s yoga greener this month with her new eco-friendly yoga products for kids.  

These new products help kids learn to love yoga and exercise, leading them toward greater fitness, balance, and well-being. At the same time, they use nontoxic, ecologically sustainable materials that are kid-friendly and planet-friendly too. 

Out with the old, in with the new. Come spring, this theme seems genetically encoded in every single one of us. From the bear emerging from his long hibernation to the trees and flowers blossoming, the waking world makes its annual fresh start each spring. In harmony with the season’s revival, our bodies also shift into high gear, letting us experience a welcome burst of energy

With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the near horizon, there is definitely a holiday buzz in the air. In the shift from colorful autumn to cozy winter, this spirited season is marked by dinner gatherings, lively parties, and evenings by the fireside with friends and family. It’s a time of hospitality, good company, and warm, inviting foods and festivities. I often imagine big mugs of honey-sweetened chai tea, fresh-from-the-oven caraway bread with melted butter, or my favorite: sumptuous, flavorful soups and stews

In an age when ADD and ADHD have become household terms, it’s become critical to help our kids achieve a state of health, balance, and happiness—without a prescription. Perhaps more than anyone, children feel the pressures and insecurities of life in this world. It’s also easy for youngsters to be negatively influenced by the flood of mixed messages conveyed through television, the Internet, games, and movies.
