Wai Lana Review

Born in Hong Kong, Wai Lana has been teaching Yoga for almost 25 years across the world. And if it is yoga that is keeping her young, sign me up! Wai Lana only looks about 25 years old! Wai Lana Yoga can also be seen on PBS stations across the country.

Wai Lana learned at a young age that Yoga is a powerful tool for achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. An age-old science originating in the East, yoga has become a #1 tool for keeping fit and reducing stress as Yoga does both.

To me this Wai Lana workout is different then most Yoga Dvd’s in the sense that she really teaches you why and what you are doing.  It is more of a gentle hand holding then just telling you Yoga is magical, powerful and to reminding you to stand tall and breathe deep.  The Wake Up Body DVD states it is for intermediate, but I truly think anyone could do it if they go slow.  I didn’t find any moment uncomfortable.  Although I am working on holding some Asanas.  My balance is definitely not what it used to be!


Wai Lana’s gentle approach is soothing and just overall seems to be a more spiritual way of teaching Yoga then I have witnessed before.

Wai Lana also sent me something that I had surely been lacking in any true Yoga session.  A mat!  I have one that came with the Wii Fit but…. it sorta slips and slides all over our carpet.  It is really thin.  The Green EnviroMat I received from Wai Lana is durable, heavier and thicker.  More plush but with support too.  I can’t believe I didn’t realize before how much of a difference it can make.  First it makes me feel more “professional.” sorta like when I was little and used to think I could run faster when I got new sneakers?  That is how the EnviroMat makes me feel.  It encourages me in some way to bend, breath and twist deeper.  Power of the mind!

The Green EnviroMat:

  • Earth-friendly (recyclable and ecologically degradable)
  • Health-friendly (free from PVC, phthalates, latex, chloride, and glue)
  • Superb traction for extra grip in poses
  • Soft, supportive surface for optimum comfort

You can find a vast array of products for all of your and your families needs at Wai Lana, Amazon.com and I have even caught Wai Lana at TJ Maxx!  I usually find items at the one close to me, but I also saw a HUGE variety at the Tj’s in NYC while I was there.  I even snuck a couple photos!

    I like the idea that she’s teaching you WHY and WHAT exactly you are doing…I like yoga…have taken a few classes…but never really knew why or what I was doing.

    I have a health problem that doesn’t lend itself to Yoga but one of my daughters in law does it. I don’t know if she has heard of Wai Lana. I’ll have to see.

    I’ve never tried Yoga, but as I lose flexibility as I age, I’ve been thinking more and more of starting. I would love to see my four year old do it also – start a lifelong good habit.

    I found Wai Lana a few years ago when I was feeling so stressed from work. I got her Relaxing Yoga dvd and I have been loving it ever since! She is great!
