‘Guinness World Records’ Oldest Yoga Teacher

by

Saying that you’re too stiff or old to do yoga is like saying that you’re too dirty to take a bath.

What an inspiration Tao Porchon-Lynch is.  Watch this 2-minute video to see her go.  She is the oldest yoga teacher, according to ‘Guinness World Records’.  She is 93 and has taught for 61 years.   “I’m going to teach yoga until I can’t breathe anymore, then I’ll just fly away to the next planet.”  I believe her!

Even a hip replacement hasn’t stopped her.  ” I don’t want to know what I won’t be able to do because I don’t believe it,” is what she told her doctor when he told her that she would have to give up.  She shocked him by sending a photograph of her in lotus lifting off the ground.

She became interested in yoga at 8 years old when she saw boys doing yoga in Pondicherry, India.  She wanted to prove that she could do what the boys were doing.  She now lives and teaches yoga outside of NYC in Hartsdale.

What’s your favorite quote or piece of the video?  Please let us know in the comments below!

So what are you waiting for??  I encourage you to keep up your home practice and to either take classes in your area or one of mine.  Here’s my current yoga schedule including classes and workshops.

Follow your heart’s desire! ~~ Really?

Here is what Alan Watts has to say about following your heart’s desire in this 3 minute video.  From my own experience, he’s right.  He advises against living a miserable life chasing money, doing what’s not fulfilling you and going after “what makes you itch.”

 

Does his message sound unrealistic?  Unworkable for your life circumstances?  Too good to be true?  It’s not.

This is my story.  A little over 10 years ago, I was managing a multimillion dollar budget while driving 300 miles weekly chasing mostly useless meetings.  Tomorrow, I am flying to Sivananda in the Bahamas  for a 10-day paid trip to teach yoga, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery ~~ my heart’s desire.  And I’m going back there May 23-26, 2013.

Yes, it’s true, but it wasn’t necessarily on purpose.  Life had a way of closing other doors on me (and it wasn’t pretty) until I was pointed directly toward following my heart’s desire.
