Wai Lana’s newly released music video River of Forgiveness pays tribute to International Day of Friendship on July 30th—a day that promotes and encourages worldwide peace, happiness, and unity.  Yoga wisdom touches all aspects of our lives. After watching River of Forgiveness, it will become clear how the message of forgiveness perfectly connects with a day centered around reconciliation and finding comfort in our close friendships. Forgiveness is an integral part of friendship and our being able to live happy, peaceful, and healthy lives.  Wai Lana says, “Whether you’re mad at a family member or close friend, a neighbor, co-worker, or complete stranger, holding on to some resentment or anger towards others will cause you stress and unhappiness. Why carry the burden of anger for days on end for something you can’t change?”  Everyone will be able to relate to many of the scenarios Wai Lana sings about in River of Forgiveness. While it calls attention to the unhappiness caused by holding on to anger, the song maintains a playful, uplifting tone—transporting viewers to a place of peace, joy, and lightheartedness. Simultaneously entertaining and meditative, River of Forgiveness can be watched again and again.  Wai Lana concluded, “My hope is that viewers will find both inspiration and some relief from the heavy burden of anger, and that it will bring friends and loved ones even closer together. Not everything in life is in our control, but each of us has the power to forgive. If we wish to hold onto anger, that is our freedom, but we cannot expect the fruits of peace and happiness to flourish among the weeds of anger and resentment” About Wai Lana Wai Lana is a world-renowned yoga instructor who is credited with pioneering the modern-day yoga movement through her award-winning TV series, “Wai Lana Yoga,” which has aired in the US and internationally for three decades.
