The World's Oldest Yoga Teacher Turns 97 Today: Happy Birthday, Tao!

Today at 97-years-old, Tao Porchon-Lynch is the world’s oldest living yoga teacher, recognized by the Guinness World Records since 2012. The former actress/model is also a celebrated ballroom dancer, with a recent appearance on America’s Got Talentthat wowed the judges and led to a standing ovation. I’ve worked with Tao every spring and autumn since she was 93. And what amazes me most is that she grows more youthful each time we meet. This is the most inspiring phenomenon I have ever witnessed.
