There is a woman named Tao Porchon-Lynch．She was born in India in 1918．So，if you do the math，she is 99．And at the age of 99，she has been recognized as the oldest yoga teacher in the world．She has been teaching yoga in a gym in her hometown，full-time，since1967．
    But that's not all she's done．She has also been a model，actress and dancer．She became a model after she graduated from high school．She acted in more than ten fields．She won a lot of medals as a dancer in many competitions．She once said， "If you try your best and never give up，nothing is impossible．" And she is a firm believer in positive thinking．She dreams the impossible dreams，and she is also well known as a thinker．
    Tao Porchon-Lynch is not the person who talks the talk；she is the person who walks the walk． When she makes up her mind to do something，she takes action to do it without delay．At the age of 85，she learned how to dance and even won several dance competitions．She offers this piece of advice to others， "Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today．Don't delay．Tomorrow never comes．"
    So，what about retirement？At 98，she is well past the age when many people make retirement plans．Retiring，it turns out，is not Tao's style． "A little girl，who is only 6 years old and is now learning yoga with me，once asked me， ‘Dear granny，what are you going to do when you retire？' " Tao Porchon-Lynch told the little girl that she had no plans to retire but instead would continue to teach yoga and dance her way to next planet．
