WASHINGTON — With age comes wisdom, but flexibility is this lady’s specialty.
On Thursday, Bernice Mary Bates set the “World’s Oldest Yoga Teacher” Guinness World Record at the age of 91.
Bates told the Huffington Post that she started practicing yoga in 1960.
After setting the record, Bates said she wants others to attempt to break it.
“I’m sure there’s a 100-year-old guy in India who can probably beat me” Bates said told the HuffPost.
She is currently a teacher at the Mainlands Retirement Community Center in Pinellas Park, Florida and shares her achievement with her students that she refers to as “kids”.
