How do they look and feel young? Yoga is the answer for 2 women teachers aged over 60
At 73 years old, Pushpa Thakurdas Vatvani has the fitness and energy levels of somebody half her age. The resident of Jakarta, Indonesia, is free of the health issues that affect many people as they get older – no stiff joints, osteoporosis, heart problems, poor balance, anxiety or memory loss. She believes that she has yoga to thank for that. 'People have told me that I move like someone in their 40s or 50s, and I still feel as strong and vibrant as I did when I was younger,' says Vatvani, who started studying 'ancient' or 'sacred' yoga under Indian yoga gurus in her mid-teens. Meditation is a big part of Pushpa Thakurdas Vatvani's daily yoga practice. Photo: Pushpa Thakurdas Vatvani A guru appointed Vatvani to start teaching yoga in the 1970s.
