97 Year Old Celebrates Birthday Teaching Yoga

Tell me this isn't inspiring!!!

I found this story in the New Channel 33 WYTV website and could not resist sharing it with everyone!!!

"Yoga first gained popularity in the 1960's when Annie Weltman was in her late 40's. Now, at 97 years young, Annie celebrated her birthday doing what she loves...yoga.
Weltman not only practices yoga, but has also taught it for some 50 years. She spent Saturday teaching yoga to a group of 4th through 6th graders at Lincoln Elementary School in Warren. The day of yoga is part of Trumbull County Educational Service Center's enrichment 'Yoga for Kids' class. Students learned the proper ways to bend, stretch and tone their bodies from Weltman.
Today, the practice of yoga boasts 20 million followers, including Annie's daughter Judy Kay who teaches the students on a weekly basis. Kay hopes to follow her mother's path. "I'm taking all the ingredients that mother's taught me, and I'm incorporating it in what I teach children, and it's just absolutely fantastic."
Maybe it's the yoga that's kept Annie Weltman so young all these years. Whatever her secret is, it's working."

What is Yin Yang Yoga Fusion???

Yin Yang Yoga is a newly invented way of teaching yoga. Yin yoga, so named because of its correspondence to the Taoist concept of yin, is a very distinct style of Chinese yoga similar to hatha yoga that stretches the connective tissue (joints) rather than conditioning the muscles. The practice is characterized by poses held for several minutes each. Yang Yoga is the opposite but complimentary of Yin Yoga. Rather than holding poses for several minutes, you are flowing through the poses. We have designed this class to balance and compliment all aspects of yoga - and your life.


Come see what Yin Yang Yoga has to offer every Monday night at 6:30 pm. It is a 90 minute Co-Ed class at Studio Oxygen.
