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."
