    Sadly, Tao left us last year February 21st, 2021. (101 years young) she taught her last yoga class right till the very end on February 16th.
    May we all remember Tao's positive outlook and remind ourselves that life is indeed short and precious. What holds true value in life and what really matter.
    🙏🏽 RiP Tao 🙏🏽

      Tao had so much positive energy, tenacity and zest for life. Can't imagine she passed on at 101 while so full of life. In her own words, "Nothing is impossible", "I'll dance my way to the next planet".
      A Ted talk gem!

    Each time I feel I am getting bored, dull and loosing the spirit of life, I will always come back to watch Tao's speech. She hasn't told herself that I am old, so her brain is only responding to what it is fed. Tao is a very positive woman, full of love and kindness. I would like to be like her as my calender rolls further. I am glad I stumbled upon this video.

      That happens because people accept the limiting beliefs about aging. When we refuse to conform to that outdated mindset we find all the ways possible to keep ourselves in at least "reasonably" good shape, like improving our nutrition and exercising regularly, including resistance training which can prevent falls like she had, keeping a positive 'can do' attitude like she mentioned, feeding our minds and spirit, and finding things to enjoy in our everyday lives. But people are told to work hard and to worry about building a retirement fund (instead of living life) but it's often used up paying medical bills. I don't want to become a burden to my children so at 65 I'm doing my best to practice all of the above.

      You will get better, I assure you. I have been doing yoga for years, learning new poses, new stretches. Take your time. Relax into your poses and take 5 breaths. Feel the energy come in. Use relaxing music, singing bowls, angel music. Every day, inch by inch, bit by bit you activate your body and your DNA. TPL is right about sooo many things. No more swearing, okay? relax, sink into your music and pose and before long, you will amaze yourself and everyone else. Yoga is the one sport you can do, and you can get better over years and decades. And forget the passing gas. It means your body is healthy. Good bacteria.
