Lilias, I have admired you since I first saw your yoga practice on TV in the 70's. I connected immediately with your name and then with the power of yoga in life. You inspired this young Latina immigrant to believe she could and would be up to life's challenges. I for one like many others, have risen up from a frenzied dance with breast cancer twice already. Yoga kept me balanced. Sending you blessings for the road ahead. |

Bless you, Lilias. I found you on PBS back in the 70's living in Canada. You inspired me to become a yoga teacher. Many good wishes for a complete recovery. Namaste! |
