I loved her interpretation of the multi layer of “Koshas” and her explanations with suggestions of finding harmony by practicing for ourselves too. She has managed to combine ancient yoga teachings with the realities of the modern world which can bring increased health and well being to all. Lilias’ choice of quotations and suggestions are refreshing and inspiring. “Yoga Postures for a Desert Island” is typical of the practical choice she would make if she could only choose forty four positions to do. There is a multitude of information for warm ups, asanas, breathing, relaxations, meditations and partner work.

This pioneer of yoga makes a welcome gift of her expertise and discoveries through yoga teaching for over thirty five years. There are touching moments when she describes her worries as a young teacher just before class. What if no one comes? What if they don’t like me? And the inner voice which told her “Just love them.” This is what Lilias has done ever since. In mid life she has found time to focus on nourishing peace and bliss. In her life Lilias has tried to do this through the entire world.

This is an invaluable book to be enjoyed by teachers and students alike.
