Yoga At Any Age
Is yoga the secret to staying young? If this 96-year-old yoga instructor is any indication, it just might be.
Born in England during World War I, the former secretary immigrated to Canada in 1948, and began practising yoga at 50.
“I was envious of this young lady doing yoga at the gym where I happened to be riding an old stationary bicycle,” she says.
She does yoga poses every morning, and regularly teaches yoga to a group of women age 60 and up who call themselves “Ida’s Girls.” Herbert isn’t strict about her health regimen. “I’ve heard a glass of wine is not bad for you and that suits me nicely,” she laughs. Herbert attributes her longevity to a positive attitude and enjoying life. In addition to yoga, she gardens and knits blankets for kittens at the local animal shelter.
