Lilias Folan
Lilias Folan, known as the "First Lady of Yoga" since her groundbreaking 1972 Yoga series Lilias! Yoga and You, has been regarded as America's most knowledgeable and respected yoga guru. Through her television shows, books, audio tapes, videos, workshops, and seminars, Folan has spent nearly three decades helping people learn about the benefits of yoga for the body, mind, and spirit.
Folan first became involved with yoga at the age of 30, when her doctor suggested trying the system of simple stretching and breathing techniques to help relieve a variety of ailments that included back pain, sleeping problems, and a general case of the "blahs." Finding that yoga renewed her vitality and energy, Folan continued her yoga practice in New York City, where she studied and taught with some of the finest teachers from Europe, India, and America.
She then began teaching yoga classes in her Ohio community. Four years later, her television series Lilias! Yoga and You, produced by PBS affiliate WCET - TV 48 in Cincinnati, Ohio, aired nationally on PBS stations. Folan's audience grew to include housewives, athletes, executives, children, seniors, Olympians, artists, poets, members of Congress, and even a former president of the United States.
Folan's position as a major influence in the field of health and fitness has gained her international renown. In 1991, at the invitation of the Soviet Ministry of Health, she was one of 10 honored guests asked to speak, teach, and participate in the first Soviet/American Yoga Teachers Conference, held in Moscow. |
