In honor of the 2nd Annual International Day of Yoga on June 21st, world-renowned yoga teacher Wai Lana is releasing her new Alive Forever short film and music video that stresses on the fact that we don't need to be afraid of getting old and our spirit lives on even after our body dies.

This much anticipated release is a follow-up to last year's inspirational "Namaste" music video, which Wai Lana specifically produced to celebrate the first ever International Day of Yoga.

"I was so delighted and honored to receive so much positive feedback from Namaste and to see that it encouraged people to come together in unity," said Wai Lana. "This year, I wanted to do something just as significant and meaningful." "Alive Forever is very, very special to me. It has such profound wisdom that I want to share with the world on this special day," Wai Lana said, according to a press release.

"I produced "Alive Forever" to help people become more aware of the very valuable, fundamental teaching of yoga—"Aham Brahmasmi." This teaching, that I am an eternal spiritual being, I am not my body, and I will not die when my body dies, has been meditated upon by yogis for countless centuries and can help us to appreciate that we are more than these material bodies, that we are eternal spiritual beings."

Whether young or old, rich or poor, educated or illiterate, no matter what our race or gender, none of us want to cease existing. We all have in common a natural desire to be alive forever. The sweet and inspiring film and the lovely music video warms the heart with its simple yet profound message that has the power to free us all from the fear of aging, the press release added.

Listening to Wai Lana sing, we can all be peaceful and happy knowing that we don't need to be afraid of getting old, as the true self is ever-youthful and ever-lasting. Wai Lana's video underscores the fact that age is just a number.

According to Wai Lana, by understanding this profound truth, we can live in peace and happiness. There is no need to be sad as our body ages, rather we should feel very blessed to know this priceless jewel of wisdom, she added.

Wai Lana will be releasing special content starting seven days before International Day of Yoga on WaiLana.com/AF and over social media.

Recognizing its universal appeal, on Dec. 11, 2014, the United Nations declared June 21 as International Yoga Day by Resolution 69/131. It aims to raise global awareness the many benefits of practicing yoga.

Wai Lana is the host of the long-running public television series Wai Lana Yoga, which has aired in the United States internationally for nearly two decades. All of her shows feature beautiful, soothing soundtracks, all of which are original vocal recordings of her own.

Many of these songs are available on Wai Lana's Yoga Sound and Yoga Music of the Heart albums, and her Namaste and Alive Forever tracks are part of a new Alive Forever album that will be released later this year in 2016.
