January 26, 2019 - The Government of India announced yesterday from New Delhi that 100-year-old historical icon and yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch has received the prestigious Padma Shri Award for her distinguished service. The Padma Awards, instituted in 1954, are one of the highest civilian honors of India.
November 13, 2016–98-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch is embracing new technology and did her first Facebook Live Chat with Dr. Deepak Chopra from his apartment in New York. It was an inspirational lovefest. The conversation drew over 159,000 views, almost 5,000 likes, over 2,000 shares, and thousands of comments from around the world.
May 10, 2016-- 97-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch can add another accolade to her name, “award-winning author,” demonstrating once again that it is never too late to realize your dreams. She graced the windy city of Chicago to receive a 2016 IPPY Award for her book, Dancing Light: The Spiritual Side of Being Through the Eyes of a Modern Yoga Master.
January 17, 2016--The inspirational and historical life of 97-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch as shared in her new autobiography, Dancing Light: The Spiritual Side of Being Through the Eyes of a Modern Yoga Master, can now be found at the White Plains Library in Westchester, New York.
October 9, 2015--In 2012, Tao was named Oldest Yoga Teacher by Guinness World Records, and she still regularly teaches six to eight classes a week in addition to her dance lessons and other activities. Therefore, the trip to Slovenia would not be complete without yoga! So, on our last day, Tao taught two yoga classes--one at 7am and the other at 11am.
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 that spacious townhouse-like suite.
October 8, 2015--Our hosts wanted us to experience more of Slovenia so for the first part of Day 3 Breda Bozic and Sebastjan Mislej from AvantCar whisked us away from the rain in Ljubljana and we headed to the coast. Tao was delighted by the prospect of some sun since she does not like the cold!
October 7, 2015--After a wonderful night's sleep and delectable breakfast at Hotel Slon, Day 2 in Ljubljana started off with an interview for The Good Life magazine. Instead of a photograph, an artist will do a painting of Tao for the article's lead image. We're looking forward to that!
October 6, 2015--The weather might have been cloudy but 97-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch brought her special light to Slovenia from October 6 - 9, 2015 speaking at an event, touring the area, teaching yoga classes and doing media interviews.
