“Awakening the Mystic is a wonderful, inspiring story of how yoga can change one’s life. The main character and I share more than 1.13 as our birthday, we also share the belief in the power of meditation—that anything is possible when we drop into stillness and return there as needed. We are that stillness. That stillness is our true essence. This story is so compelling in its telling. I recommend it to anyone who needs to be inspired that love is the greatest power on Earth.”    —Lilias Folan, the First Lady of Yoga, host of Lilias! on PBS from 1970 to 1999, author of Lilias! Yoga Gets Better with Age
