There is nothing you cannot do | Tao Porchon-Lynch | TEDxColumbiaSIPA

[@AnthaKharana]

Sadly, Tao left us last year February 21st, 2021. (101 years young) she taught her last yoga class right till the very end on February 16th. May we all remember Tao's positive outlook and remind ourselves that life is indeed short and precious. What holds true value in life and what really matter. 🙏🏽 RiP Tao 🙏🏽

[@reginaschwab6286]

RIP Tao 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@sheenasingh9320]

Tao had so much positive energy, tenacity and zest for life. Can't imagine she passed on at 101 while so full of life. In her own words, "Nothing is impossible", "I'll dance my way to the next planet". A Ted talk gem!

[@5784Eva]

Nope , she died in february 2020 .

[@catinarezi]

I can feel her energy from here. Never let anyone tell you you can’t do something. Not even yourself. Amazing 101 years and now she’s in her new planet, living new adventures, because she can do anything!

[@nathanherriman5002]

I love that her name is Tao! She is definitely one with the Tao. Hope everyone who reads this is doing well, and finds beauty in their lives😁

[@ladybug160]

Thank you, Nathan 🙏 And bright blessings to you too 💜

[@empressfree6342]

Thank you 🙏🏾, she made my day. In faith that all is well with you and loved ones 👍

[@anastasia10017]

I have had yoga class with her and she is a very good yoga teacher. she is charming, elegant, well dressed and intelligent. She can do poses that 25 year olds cannot manage.

[@elsaelectra9963]

Tears. A 100 yr old woman is my muse for the last 10 yrs, I hope to meet her one day.

[@thetree7694]

Each time I feel I am getting bored, dull and loosing the spirit of life, I will always come back to watch Tao's speech. She hasn't told herself that I am old, so her brain is only responding to what it is fed. Tao is a very positive woman, full of love and kindness. I would like to be like her as my calender rolls further. I am glad I stumbled upon this video.

[@dorothymckenna6136]

AN AMAZING OPTIMISTC WOMAN !

[@bohahnfeld9212]

Her self talk is very positive. Notice how you talk to yourself, many negative, self defeating messages? Be aware of this! She is amazing!

[@mare1203]

I believe people like this (good people who understand life and preach joy and unity and love) are reincarnated enough times to come to this point so they can share their positivity and inspire others!

[@drshals23]

she is such a gem!! This is what they call ageing gracefully!!

[@FromPanictoParis]

I worked in a nursing home for awhile and to see the elderly people in there just waiting to die , not being able to feed themselves or wash themselves .. this woman is incredible 🙏🏽

[@sylviapappas788]

Elderly are being warehoused in expensive lodging!

[@latinainwpb]

That happens because people accept the limiting beliefs about aging. When we refuse to conform to that outdated mindset we find all the ways possible to keep ourselves in at least "reasonably" good shape, like improving our nutrition and exercising regularly, including resistance training which can prevent falls like she had, keeping a positive 'can do' attitude like she mentioned, feeding our minds and spirit, and finding things to enjoy in our everyday lives. But people are told to work hard and to worry about building a retirement fund (instead of living life) but it's often used up paying medical bills. I don't want to become a burden to my children so at 65 I'm doing my best to practice all of the above.

[@Jibbie49]

I worked as a nurse in a nursing home as well and was amazed at how hateful so many people can be when they are old. But then so many of them were obese or had serious aches and pains from arthritis, etc.

[@alexam5336]

Who can be happy if you're always in pain. So sad!

[@caroledouillot8858]

@@alexam5336 I m in pain but decide not to get eaten by eat. I've accepted it. It's part of my life. I still hope the pain will go but I still carry on doing yoga and other sports despite the pain. I don't want to give up. It's like if you didn't want to feel sadness in your life. Life is about accepting all that comes even the pains

[@jmdenison]

You will get better, I assure you. I have been doing yoga for years, learning new poses, new stretches. Take your time. Relax into your poses and take 5 breaths. Feel the energy come in. Use relaxing music, singing bowls, angel music. Every day, inch by inch, bit by bit you activate your body and your DNA. TPL is right about sooo many things. No more swearing, okay? relax, sink into your music and pose and before long, you will amaze yourself and everyone else. Yoga is the one sport you can do, and you can get better over years and decades. And forget the passing gas. It means your body is healthy. Good bacteria.
