Tao Porchon-Lynch is living proof of the effectiveness of a lifelong yoga practice.

Her colorful life of glamour and grit from the heyday of Hollywood to the French Resistance, to marching with Gandhi, brings a unique and unparalleled experience to her students.

Sundari Yoga in Stroudsburg hosted this 95-year-old yoga grand master instructor on Saturday. "Tao," as she prefers to be addressed, is described as the oldest living female yoga teacher.

"The inspiration she gives the seniors in our community, as well as the young, highlights the resolve we all have inside us to explore our potential to be the best, most productive human being we can be," said Nadya Matychak, advanced yoga educator of Sundari Yoga and Rosewood Counseling Services.

Tao has trained and certified hundreds of yoga instructors, since founding the Westchester Institute of Yoga in 1982. Tao has more than 70 years of yoga practice and more than 45 years of teaching yoga to students in India, France and the U.S.
