About

Lilias Meditation Workout Series for Beginners is a Hatha Yoga class hosted by Lilias Folan, who has been a student and teacher of yoga for many years. The program opens with an extended discussion of meditation as a practice distinct from mysticism, framing Hatha Yoga as a path into relaxation and then into meditation. Folan emphasizes that meditation quiets the mind, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the sense of isolation between body, spirit, and mind.

The physical class begins standing in Tadasana (mountain pose), progresses through the Wood Chopper warm-up with breath, a belt-assisted chest-opening exercise squeezing the shoulder blades, and a Half Moon balancing pose using household objects such as a book, chair, or footstool as props. The Cat pose is introduced on hands and knees with a rounding and arching motion. The class closes in a supine relaxation pose called Sponge pose, with a guided body scan meditation moving awareness through the ears, forehead, eyelids, and breath. Folan invites viewers to return for further progress and closes with Namaste.
