A true yoga trailblazer, Lilias Folan, has returned to starlight. Thank you for making yoga accessible to so many. Keep shining bright. 🙏 🩷

Longtime yoga teacher Lilias Folan, who introduced thousands to the practice through her long-running PBS TV show, passed away on March 9, 2026.

Lilias, 𝘠𝘰𝘨𝘢, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘠𝘰𝘶 was one of the most successful programs in PBS history, making yoga accessible decades before at-home practice became common.

She’s remembered for her approachable teaching style, clear instructions, and ability to make an ancient practice feel relevant to contemporary life in the 1970s, when yoga felt out of reach for many Americans. Her lessons will long be appreciated.

"Ongoing research into the effects of yoga on brain plasticity and resilience may reveal how consistent practice can remodel neural pathways, enhancing our ability to cope with stress and emotional challenges. Understanding the mechanisms through which yoga shapes the brain could pave the way for innovative interventions."

With so many uncertainties and stressful circumstances in the world right now, I thought I'd post a little reminder of the importance of self-care. Years ago when I founded and was running a small nonprofit organization, I got seriously burnt out and learned firsthand, and the hard way, the importance of self-care. It took quite a while for my body to recover and heal through yoga, healthy eating, rest and self-care. I made a commitment from then on to remember and teach about the importance of taking care of yourself if you want to make a difference in the world. Since then, I have spent most of my adult life helping others learn how to take better care of themselves, and help folks gain tools to do so as part of their healing and healthy living journeys.

Whatever roles you hold as parent, caregiver, student, elder, child, employee, business owner, aunt, uncle, teacher, mentor, leader, nonprofit visionary, change-maker, caring human, etc. is made better by nourishing and taking care of yourself so you can be your best and bring that to your relationships, community, and world. For me, yoga, meditation, movement, inspired action, eating well, art, writing, laughter, dancing, spiritual practice, spending time in nature and with animals, family and friends, and all sorts of outdoor adventures help fill me up and feed my soul. What about you...what fills you up? What kind of self-care would be helpful for you right now? If you find want to eat more healthfully or learn more self-care practices that are rooted in Ayurveda, I'll be offering my Spring Cleanse starting next week. Even if you don't want to do a full on cleanse, you'll learn lots of great tips for healthy eating. The Cleanse also includes Foundations for Healthy Living classes that are packed with great info and will teach you about Ayurveda's daily practices which are a great foundation for self-care. Check out the link below if you want to learn more, but no matter what, I hope you find ways to take care of yourself, today and every day. I'd love to know how you are doing with your self care efforts! Sending lots of love and care to all. 🙏❤
