Tao Porchon-Lynch, közel 100 éves jógaoktató

 

Hihetetlen már az is, hogy valaki eléri a százéves életkort, hát még hogyha ilyen szuper formában van, mint a jógatanárnő. Láthatjuk, hogy a jóga mennyire fiatalon tartja a testet és lelket.
 
Tao Porchon-Lynch egy csodálatos példa a világ összes jógása számára, de leginkább azok örülhetnek, akiket tanítványai lehetnek. Túlzás nélkül mondhatjuk, hogy az idős hölgy megmutatja az örök fiatalság titkát. Ahogy mozog, emelgeti a végtagjait, mosolyog és él, számos fiatal megirigyelhetne.
 
A csodálatos idős hölgy hetven éve jógázik és táncol, pedig egy súlyos vállműtéten is átesett. Irigylésre méltóan néz ki. Szerintetek hány évet tagadhat le a korából?
 

 

Tao Porchon-Lynch, 93, Is Now World's Oldest Yoga Teacher


But what makes her truly amazing is the fact that she can support her whole body on her hands -- even though she's 93.

Now she has another accolade to add to her list: Guinness World Records has just declared her the world's oldest yoga teacher.

Porchon-Lynch started practicing yoga when she was eight after seeing some boys doing the exercises on the beach of her hometown of Pondicherry, a French colony in India on the Bay of Bengal.

"As a child with a zest for physical activity, I wanted to do the amazing things that they were doing with their bodies,” she told Guinness.

But Porchon-Lynch only started teaching 45 years ago after a show business career whose highlights include winning a “Best Legs in Europe” contest, working as a cabaret dancer in London during World War II and as a model in Paris, then moving to America to act in films like "The Last Time I Saw Paris" with Elizabeth Taylor.

At an age where some people start slowing down, Porchon-Lynch still has 400 students at the the Westchester Institute of Yoga in Westchester, N.Y., which she founded in 1982.

Porchon-Lynch replaces the former world's oldest yoga teacher, Berniece Bates, who received that title last November.

However, at the time, she told The Huffington Post that she welcomed the chance to have someone else take the honor.

I’m Gonna Dance My Way to the Next Planet…

Egy újabb cikk- valamint fotósorozat róla, 

 

The beautiful Tao Porchon-Lynch touched  us deeply in the Central Park NYC Red Shoot, celebrating her induction into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the oldest living yoga teacher in the world.
 
Six months later, somewhere in the Connecticut countryside, I met with Tao again. This time, she brought her dance partner, Hayk Balasanyan, and had her eyes on the possibility of a different title: ‘The oldest living ballroom dancer in the world.’
 
I didn’t and still don’t know anything about ballroom dancing. I love Tao and she brings the quality of creation to everything she does and this was inspiration enough.
 
So, here’s what happened in some magical fields of New England on an immensely enchanting autumn day.
