Zhang Huilan-"Mother of Contemporary China Yoga"

In China, when the word "yoga" is mentioned, Huilan's figure immediately appears in people's minds. Therefore, it is not surprising that Teacher Huilan is affectionately called the "Mother of Contemporary China Yoga" by everyone.

In the past, only a few scholars in China had heard of the word yoga. In 1985, thanks to CCTV 1 and 2 broadcasting Huilan's 30-minute TV series almost every morning and evening, yoga and Zhang Huilan entered thousands of households and were deeply loved by hundreds of millions of viewers. This program achieved extremely high ratings, as evidenced by its uninterrupted broadcast from 1985 to 1999, making it one of the longest-running TV series in the history of China television.

Out of selfless love, Huilan is willing to share yoga with others, and has never sought personal gain through this. She always said,"Since I accepted this wonderful gift of yoga more than 30 years ago, I have put myself in a position of serving everyone and shared yoga with the China people. This is the only way. Let me express and repay my gratitude to the revered Bai Zhongyan and respected teacher." Huilan decided to use television as the best way to achieve her wish. So she embarked on the arduous task of producing a first-class yoga TV series for the people of China.

In addition to the TV series, Huilan co-authored the 630-page best-selling book "Yoga Qigong and Meditation" with contemporary yoga master Bo Zhongyan, who is deeply accomplished and orthodox, and continues to maintain its ranking as one of the best-selling books in China every year. For more than 20 years.

In the 1990s, foreign countries began to notice Huilan and her unique yoga practice method. Since 1998, her yoga TV series has been broadcast across the United States through the PBS network, setting off a craze for modern yoga in the United States. Today, millions of people in dozens of countries have or are enjoying Chang's award-winning yoga TV series, DVDs, music CDs and books, making her one of the most famous yoga teachers in the world today.

Huilan's latest book "The Gift of Yoga" is extremely beautiful, with hundreds of bright and vivid photos and clear professional instructions. It is obvious that it will be another best-selling book.

Teacher Huilan will continue her services of spreading yoga and publish more and more DVDs, VCDs, music CDs, books, children's yoga products, etc. (Editor in charge: Tian Tian)
