At the incredible age of 98, Tao Porchon-Lynch is officially the oldest yoga teacher in the world; the Guinness World Book of Records even penned an entry about her back in 2012.

She began practicing the physical, mental, and spiritual exercise nine decades ago, when she was still a little girl; she had spotted a group of boys performing the poses in India, wandered up to them, and asked them if she could join in.

Since then, the former actor and author has never looked back; even now, she teaches six to eight classes a week in New York. And, more importantly, the dedicated yogi has started dishing out phenomenal life advice to her fans all over the globe.
