<div><p>How flexible are you? Bet not as flexible as Tao Porchon-Lynch, the world's oldest yoga teacher! At 98 years old, Porchon-Lynch has been teaching yoga for over 75 years and wakes up at 5 am everyday to lead a class. </p><p>The inspiring senior fell in love with yoga at the age of 8 while living in India. At the time, yoga was predominantly practiced by men so it wasn't considered lady-like. But, that didn't stop Porchon-Lynch as she eventually managed to get into a boys-only class and has been practicing ever since. </p><p>One of her main mantras is "Anything is possible, nothing is impossible." She's definitely been proving this to be right. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/3BF9B3BA00000578-4100806-image-a-5_1483937933437.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/3BF9B3BA00000578-4100806-image-a-5_1483937933437_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/3BF9B2DA00000578-4100806-image-a-4_1483937928995.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/3BF9B2DA00000578-4100806-image-a-4_1483937928995_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Besides yoga, Porchon-Lynch is also a ballroom dancer and has prior modelling and acting credits.
