Tao Porchon-Lynch is a true force of nature. To hear her speak (her TED talk is available here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTmaTD5H0iM) is a humbling and inspiring experience in equal measure. At the age of 97, and having had three hip replacement surgeries, Tao is a real testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and to the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits of yoga.
A common occurrence after her surgeries would be for doctors to list all the things Tao wouldn't be able to do from that point onwards. Her response was always this; 'please do not tell me what I can't do. I am only interested in what I can do'. She has overcome the odds every step of the way and has a lot to teach us about accepting and embracing the nuances of our bodies without following fear. We hope you find this lady as inspiring to listen to and read about as we do :)
