The 83 year-old yoga instructor




You know I just can't help but root for old people who are still rockin' it out. It just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, and for those who know me, that is quite a feat. It's the same kind of feeling I get watching the Underdog at the Olympics who is dead last in the race and never had a shot, but finished it anyway. The Jamaican Bobsled team their first year that kind of thing. The ones that have nothing but honor and the country flag to keep them through the end of the race. Gosh... I am getting all teary just thinking about all those stories. (dramatic pause and sigh here)
Ok, back to business. 83 year-old Bette Calman, not only still does yoga at her age, but she teaches up to 11 yoga classes a week. She even says she has no thought of slowing down. I can't do what she does now at my age... might be because my center of gravity is my very large gut/butt. That and I might suffocate if I tried to curl up like that. At the very least I would definitely pull something. I think it is pretty amazing, kind of like the 72 year old that ran down the teenager who stole her purse. Work it ladies!!!
