98-year-old Yoga Master Tao Porchon-Lynch Speaks at World Government Summit in Dubai

PART 1     PART 2

February 11 to 14, 2017 – Dubai has become a favorite place for 98-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch and myself. After the official programs at the World Government Summit (see Part 1), Tao had a series of media interviews. She started off with three scheduled and then more requests kept coming in. Afterwards, we took a moment to see the futuristic drone which looks a bit like the Smart Car Tao drives. We also tested out the machine which gauges your happiness level by measuring your facial expression. I came in at 97% and Tao, of course, received 100%! I don’t know how the machine really works but the gentleman before us received a score of 67%.

In between the Summit activities, we caught up with old friends including Sara Fakhouri, Dovile Slavinskate and Mina Karaiskou who hosted us for the 2016 XYoga Dubai Festival. We also saw Nina Badri and Noor Al Fardan at the gorgeous Burj Al Arab, considered the most luxurious hotel in the world. They hosted us for tea there last year. In addition, we met many new friends such as BBC Correspondent Kim Ghattas and Paula Felps from LiveHappy magazine.

A wonderful surprise was seeing Matej Cer, founder of the electric mobility company, AvantCar. We met in 2012 when I did a Power Living program for the Young Executives Society (YES) in Ljubljana. He (along with the team from YES) then hosted both Tao and me in 2015. We did our Conversation with a Master program and some yoga classes in Slovenia. Matej had been an evangelist for green technology for fifteen years and was at the Summit with a Slovenia contingent. HE Miro Cerar, Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, spoke on Smart & Sustainable Slovenia. Known for its commitment to sustainability, Slovenia was named European Green Capital 2016.
