Yoga and wellness expert Tara Stiles talks to yoga master and nonagenarian Tao Porchon Lynch, who has practiced and taught yoga for decades. Tara asked Tao how she has reached her 90s in excellent health and with an optimistic attitude people of any age would envy. Her secrets? Tao says the most important thing is watching your breath, that most of us simply don't know how to breathe properly, for optimal health. When you expand your breath, says Tao, you are also expanding all the possibilities of what you can do - which is anything. Her "Pollyanna" attitude has helped her live a life largely free of fear, she says. If we remember that we have every possibility within ourselves, it becomes much easier to live without fear or worry. If you are worried, the best thing to do, she suggests, is to stop and take a breath, acknowledging the life force inside of you. One thing Tao does every day is simply take a moment when she wakes up in the morning to look out the window and see the sun; she also does shoulderstands every night before bed to quiet her mind and thoughts before going to sleep.
