It’s Zhang Huilan
In China, when the word “yoga” is mentioned, almost everyone will immediately think of Zhang Huilan. Therefore, it is not surprising that Teacher Huilan is affectionately called the "Mother of Yoga" in modern China.
Since receiving the wonderful gift of yoga 30 years ago, Teacher Huilan has wanted to share the happiness brought by yoga with everyone. She believes that only in this way can she express the deep gratitude in her heart feeling. She decided to fulfill her wish through the best medium of television. So she embarked on a difficult task - to produce a first-class yoga TV series for the Chinese people.
In 1985, through CCTV-1 and CCTV-2 (China Central Television), Zhang Huilan and yoga entered thousands of households and were loved by hundreds of millions of viewers. Yoga was introduced to modern China. Teacher Huilan's yoga series was very popular. It was broadcast continuously for 15 years from 1985 to 1999, making it one of the longest-running TV series in the history of Chinese television.
Hui Lan also co-authored "Yoga ~ Qigong and Meditation", a 630-page bestseller with teacher Bai Zhongyan ***. It has printed millions of copies so far and continues to maintain sales every year. Ranked as one of the best-selling books in China for more than 20 years. Hui Lan's latest book "The Gift of Yoga" is stunningly beautiful, with hundreds of bright and vivid photos and clear and professional instructions. It will be published in early January 2006. It can be said that it is bound to be another best-selling book. Huilan is currently preparing to release more than 150 new yoga programs in China.
In the 1990s, foreign countries began to pay attention to Hui Lan and her unique yoga practice method. Since 1998, her yoga TV series has been broadcast across the United States through the PBS television network, setting off a modern yoga craze in the United States. Today, millions of people in dozens of countries have or are enjoying Zhang Huilan's award-winning yoga TV series, DVDs, music CDs and books, making her one of the most famous yoga teachers in the world today.
Hui Lan was always thinking about how to make yoga practice easier, safer and more effective, so she developed a series of yoga products, which are now favored by yoga practitioners all over the world.
Out of deep love for the Chinese people, Teacher Huilan continues her service of spreading Yu. More and more DVDs, VCDs, music CDs, books, and children's yoga products will soon be available in China. Countless Chinese people are eager to see her latest yoga TV series as soon as possible.
