The 91 year old Bernice Bates has entered in Guinness Book of Records as the oldest yoga teacher in the world. The woman of St. Petersburg in Florida practices yoga since 1960,and this activity has helped her to remain in excellent form till this age.
The woman maintains and shares the merit with her “boys”, the class composed of sixty and seventy year olds whose teacher she is. “It’s truly a joint effort: if they would not have been there, I would not have achieved this recognition”.
However Bernice who may be proud of her record also hopes that soon someone may break her record: “ I am sure there there may be someone 100 years old maybe in India, who could beat me”. A bit in her way of saying: just that someone is more than 90 years old does not make them necessarily old…
