World's Oldest Living Yoga Master, 94, to Visit Darien

By Megan Marie

Darien, get ready to welcome Master Tao Porchon-Lynch 94,the world's oldest living yoga master and teacher (recently inducted in the Guiness Book of World Records), and most inspirational being on the planet!

Master Tao Porchon-Lynch will be coming to Elements Yoga and Wellness Center from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., March 9, for a special yoga practice followed by a wine tasting. Tao synthesizes the most positive aspects of Indian, European and American thought as it relates to yoga. She has trained and certified hundreds of yoga instructors.

Tao has over 70 years of yoga practice and more than 45 years of teaching students in India, France, and the U.S. She recently has been featured on NBC, CNN with Sanje Gupta, Martha Stewart and Women's Health magazine expressing her views on the secrets to a happy and long life.

In fact, Tao is living advertisement for how to tap into our innate potential.  She appears totally ageless and is overflowing with vitality. Tao's philosophy is "There is nothing we cannot do if we harness the power within us."  She is also a passionate and global award winning ballroom dancer and Oenophile.

I was honored to meet Tao last Fall for a photo shoot she did with the world renowned photographer and artist, Robert Sturman. This photo expresses her spirit beautifully.  She is so filled with light and radiance, that I left totally inspired and enchanted.  "Nothing is impossible" said this great lady, as she began to express some advanced and beautiful yoga in the beautiful Waveny Park in New Canaan (see photo).
