97-year-old Yoga Master Tao Porchon-Lynch takes Slovenia by storm!

 

DAY 1    DAY 2    DAY 3A    DAY 3B    DAY 4

 

October 8, 2015–After a morning at the Slovene Coast, we returned to Ljubljana in the early afternoon just in time to get a quick bite of food and freshen up for another media interview. We went up to the Presidential Suite at Hotel Slon with Jan Pinteric and Til Lajovic. Apparently, President Bill Clinton had stayed in the spacious townhouse-like home away from home.

The hotel’s general manager Gregor Jamnik was there to meet us, along with the interviewer. A former actress and model, Tao was ready as soon as the camera went on! They discussed yoga, vitality and her new autobiography, Dancing Light: The Spiritual Side of Being Through the Eyes of a Modern Yoga Master.  Gregor ordered some exquisite sparkling wine so Tao was in her element as a wine connoisseur. She was very interested in hearing about Slovenia’s wine region and is now excited about coming back to do a wine and yoga retreat.

With a viticultural history that predates Roman influences, Slovenia boasts approximately 28,000 wineries with a predominant focus on white wines.

With about an hour or so to rest, we changed and were off for the evening’s big event hosted by the Young Executives Society (YES) and Mercedes. Tao and I have been doing a roadshow of sorts with the “Conversation with a Master” event. We’ve made it into a multimedia experience by incorporating a slideshow of images from Tao’s archives which illustrate her stories. Even though Tao is engaging on her own, it makes the conversation come alive even more. We’ve done similar events for hosts as diverse as the Harvard Business School Club of New York to the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Mid-Westchester in Scarsdale (U.S.). I even moderated a discussion on Tao’s life at the Pentagon (pre-slideshow) after she taught yoga to 90 Department of Defense personnel.

This event in Slovenia was well-attended and well-received. Afterwards there was a steady stream of people wanting to meet Tao and take pictures with her. All of our gracious hosts were there including Matej Cer, Jan Pinteric, Til Lajovic, Anton Majhen, Breda Bozic and others from AvantCar, Mercedes and the YES team. Here are pictures from the event and the afternoon of Day 3. Remember to spread the light by sharing this link and these hashtags: #ThisIs97 #TaoExp #TaoPorchonLynch.
