THE INNER SMILE CD available now at Lilias Yoga
Store!"I have been
listening to your Inner Smile CD. It is filled with your healing
message--your voice alone is a gift, and then your delivery is so
inviting, accepting and warm. Listening to it has improved both my
teaching and my practice--so thank you!" - Yael
Calhoun, author Create a Yoga Practice for Kids
"Traditionally, Taoist masters from the 6th century B.C. considered the
inner smile so precious and sacred that they whispered it in secret,
passing the confidence on only to those students deemed worthy of and
ready for the information. The sages' high esteem for the gesture was
based on their observations that the most accessible and immediate form
of bliss energy was in a sincere smile. In a moment, you'll take one of
the feelings associated with a genuine smile with you into a wonderful
relaxation-meditation called the inner smile. From this moment on, let
go...release all expectations for the outcome of this practice."
"Practice inner smile in a shortened version each day as you wake
up. In sending love throughout your body, you become more loving to
others and more effective in your work. If you have a short time,
take a few minutes to radiate the smile throughout your
body. Practice in times of stress, anger, fear, impatience, and
other draining, low-grade emotions." From
"Lilias! Yoga Gets
Better With Age"
Click play to hear Lilias speak at Omega on
Authenticity. "Its not easy being real."
I pass this along to you with joy and
hopefulness. Here are two short poems I love — the first from The
Bhagavadgita, the second from Longfellow.
Never the spirit was born
The spirit shall cease to be never
Never was time it was not
End and beginning are dreams
Birthless and deathless and changeless
Abideth the spirit forever
Death does not touch it at all.
…The Bhagavadgita
For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
…Longfellow
You’ll find pieces that are restorative for
yourself. The ending of Wendell Berry’s poem is a good example:
I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world and am free.
…Wendell Berry
Love and Light ...... Lilias!

Lilias! Yoga Gets Better with Age
Reviewed by Felicia M. Tomasko, LAYOGA
"Yoga teachers teach from their own practice, but few
have taught so publicly for so long as Lilias Folan. Beginning in 1972,
Lilias introduced millions of Americans to yoga with her PBS television
show Lilias! Yoga and You.
Lilias has found that her practice and her teaching
have naturally and even necessarily changed over time as she has
physically transformed into having what she describes as her current
middle-aged body. Lilias draws on her years of experience, along with
living in a changing body to write her new book Lilias! Yoga Gets
Better With Age. In it, she describes how to adapt yoga for a body
growing older.
The book is organized by the koshas, layers that
make up the bodymind, the physical, breath, mental/emotional, wisdom and
bliss bodies. Within these, she emphasizes the importance of warm-ups in
a physical asana (posture) practice, particularly for older
adults. She describes a yin approach to stretching (as opposed to yin
yoga) that utilizes resistance, relaxation and re-stretching, a
technique she says is integral to her teaching and practice. The chapter
on the pranic or breath or energy body, introduces pranayama
(breath techniques.
Yoga Poses for a Desert Island is a chapter in which
Lilias explains her 44 favorite poses, complete with modifications and
yin stretching instructions. Lilias' smiling face peers out from many of
the photographs illustrating asana (poses). Sequences with
multiple parts include photos for different segments, a useful addition
for readers, following her instructions. She includes a chapter on
partner yoga to enjoy the support of another person in practice.
Lilias! is beneficial for beginners in
midlife or beyond who are starting up a practice, along with longtime
practitioners who are looking for methods for adapting a practice to a
changing body as well as teachers serving older populations."
"Lilias,
Before the weekend slipped away, I wanted to drop you a note to thank
you for making yesterday so special. What are the odds that a doc would
be invited to such an event and wind up sitting at your table? There are
no coincidences and I have come to recognize that those I encounter on
my journey have been placed there to bless this strange path that I have
stumbled upon, and help me find my way.
Your book is wonderful and has been placed among my most precious tools
of medicine. It will help heal many of my patients.
Thank you for what you have given the world."

Ever Happened to Me: Stories of Healing and Wisdom along Life's Journey
Lilias! Yoga Gets
Better with Age reviewed by Marti Glenn, PhD, President,
Santa Barbara Graduate
Institute, degrees in Somatic Psychology
Lilias! Yoga Gets Better with Age offers inspiration and fresh approaches
to the practice of yoga for beginners, long time students and teachers
alike. For those who have only thought about incorporating yoga to those
who want to explore a path of deepened practice, this book is a treasure
map, a reference manual for so much more than a physical practice. Lilias
lays the foundation for understanding the journey that fosters getting
better with age and opening to a deeper, more vibrant life.
You will find here a system for understanding and honoring the different
stages of life, breath and the doors it opens to the deeper self, ways to
loosen the knots of stress, sooth the senses and calm the wandering mind,
expand self awareness and connect with our body wisdom and a heart
centered practice to awaken bliss and gratitude.
Lilias, considered the First Lady of Yoga, is philosopher and teacher,
guide and companion. Just as she personalized each television show, here
she speaks directly to each student page by page, offering personal,
step-by-step preparation, pointers for special challenges, partner work
and a complete guide to a gentle, yet powerful practice of yoga. Her love,
her own beingness and her commitment to a larger life shines through on
every page.
