Tao Porchon-Lynch, 92-Year-Old Woman, Does Yoga (VIDEO)

Yoga masters come in all forms, but Tao Porchon-Lynch truly is one of a kind.

At 92 years old, Porchon-Lynch has not let her age (or a total hip replacement!) keep her from doing what she loves.

Her YouTube channel features a clip of her 2006 appearance on an episode of "Your Total Health" with Hoda Kotb, in which a then-87-year-old Porchon-Lynch demonstrates her abilities and shares her philosophies on aging gracefully.

Watch the video below to learn more about this fascinating and inspiring woman, then sit back and marvel at the possibilities of the human body and spirit.

Yoga is great for gentle muscle tone, weight loss and mental peace!

I used to think that I didn't want to get quite that old since most elderly people I have met seem sad and miserable and their bodies(and minds!) are just falling apart.

But if I do get to an old age, I hope to be more like her. A good life goal, in my humble opinion.

They got her age wrong but she is incredible anyway. I wonder how she managed to become so full of inner peace in this world. She is a real inspiration. I am not ready to be her age but if I make it to her age I hope I am as blessed as she is.

Amazing. I keep putting off yoga exercises. Not anymore. My kids insist I live to 100 and I never gave it much thought. This is so inspiring to see what can and is being accomplished from women like Tao Porchon-Lynch.

What a wonderful role model. I too am doing my best to defy the advancements of aging. I appreciate learning of this woman's ability and philosophy. Smile at everyone and the doors open. I will embrace that advice.

I'm only 53 and can't dance like that!
Hope she's asked to go on DWTS!

I had to send this to all my women friends of which only a few do yoga but I got thanks back from everyone of them. This story makes me glad I continued with yoga and teach for over 40 years. Somewhere, early on, it just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. I need reminders for what I sometimes take for granted so grateful for this story. And speaking of grateful, don't most of us just take our bodies for granted?

Wow. Just wow.
Actually, more than just wow--I wish everyone who has any fear of aging (like, um, me sometimes) could see this.
I hope I can be half as fierce if/when I am 92!
