98-year-old woman is the world's oldest yoga teacher

Even at 98 years old, Tao Porchon-Lynch is still healthy enough to teach yoga every day.

Tao Porchon-Lynch is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest yoga teacher. She began practicing yoga 90 years ago as a child after seeing people practicing it in India. Yoga has been a part of Porchon-Lynch’s life ever since.

The most important thing about yoga is breathing, says Porchon-Lynch. It helps us connect with our bodies, calm our minds, and think positively about life.

“Yoga is about breathing. It means ‘connecting to your inner self.’ When you breathe, you tune into your soul and life opens up,” Porchon-Lynch told The Huffington Post.

For her, positive thinking is the most important factor for health.

"Never let negative thoughts stay in your mind, because it will affect your body. When you wake up every morning, tell yourself that today will be the best day of your life," Ms. Porchon-Lynch shared.

Throughout nearly a century of practicing yoga and living a positive life, Porchon-Lynch reminds people to "stop for a moment and breathe."
