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

Показать описание
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Be inspired by yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch's indomitable spirit, philosophy of Oneness, and incredible life, from marching with Mahatma Gandhi to modeling for Coco Chanel. Walking on stage with her signature high heels and easing into a full raised Lotus position, Tao makes us all believe "There is nothing you cannot do!"

Millions across the globe have been inspired by 95-year-old Tao Porchon-Lynch: World World II activist, model, film star, wine connoisseur, ballroom dancer, and one of the oldest yoga teachers in the world. She started dancing competitively in her 80s and has received almost 600 first place awards. The spark in her eyes and child-like smile immediately capture you, yet her lean frame belies the strength in her body, mind and spirit.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

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 🙏🏽

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!

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.

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.

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

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!
