Jillian Eugenios reports at TODAY.com that Porchon-Lynch has been practicing yoga since she was 8 years old:
Porchon-Lynch teaches yoga four days a week and also keeps busy ballroom dancing and guiding wine tours in New York State. And she certainly knows how to overcome a challenge. At 87, she had hip surgery but a month later she took to the dance floor, starting lessons.
I believe that we can always reach just a little bit further," said Porchon-Lynch. "I’m inspired to bring yoga into others’ lives along with helping people unearth new talents.
The previous record-holder for oldest yoga teacher was Bernice Bates, 91, of Florida, who was given the title last year.
