We are very thrilled to announce that we received a glowing endorsement from acclaimed author Dr. Deepak Chopra for 96-year-old Yoga Master Tao Porchon-Lynch’s autobiography, Dancing Light: The Spiritual Side of Being Through the Eyes of a Modern Yoga Master. Dr. Chopra said:

“One of the most acclaimed yoga teachers of our century, Tao Porchon-Lynch at 96 years is a mentor to me who embodies the spirit of yoga and is an example of Ageless Body Timeless Mind. Like yoga, she teaches us to let go and to have exquisite awareness in every moment.”

Tao and Deepak shared the stage for the opening panel for the Newark Peace Education Summit with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Watch the video. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation, was Tao’s beloved teacher (before he taught meditation to The Beatles) as well as Deepak’s teacher.

Women's Hall of Fame Special Tribute

On Friday, March 27, 2015, 96-year-old Yoga Master Tao Porchon-Lynch received a Special Tribute from the Women's Research and Education Fund (WREF) at their 31st Annual Women's Hall of Fame Awards and Scholarship Luncheon at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Tarrytown. The Mistress of Ceremonies was Elise Finch, meteorologist for WCBS-TV. Camille Failla Murphy, Executive Director of WREF, did so much to make this event happen. She couldn't be in attendance and we hope she feels better.

The Hall of Fame acknowledgments are made to women who have made an outstanding contribution to Westchester County in any one or more of the following fields: the arts, athletics, business, education, government, human services, humanitarianism/philanthropy and sciences. This year's inductee was attorney Barbara Finkelstein. She is the first female CEO of Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, the largest provider of free legal services to low-income and underserved people in Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Marlene Furick, Former Director of the Westchester County Youth Bureau, presented the Special Tribute to Nancy E. Fitch, the first African-American, and the first woman, to hold the post of City Clerk of Mt. Vernon.

Carolyn Glickstein - who nominated Tao - presented the Special Tribute to Tao who was spoken of as "master Yoga teacher, author, businesswoman and social activist." Tao received the beautiful blue Tribute plaque, as well as TWO framed Proclamations. Westchester County Legislator Michael B. Kaplowitz declared Saturday, March 28, 2015 "Tao Porchon-Lynch Day." Tao's name will be displayed on the Westchester County Center's outdoor message marquee so be sure to check that out! (If you do, please take a picture and send it to info@thetaoexperience.com). Tao delighted the audience with her remarks - including a short story of her World War II days from her upcoming autobiography, Dancing Light: The Spiritual Side of Being Through the Eyes of a Modern Yoga Master. 

The Women's Research and Education Fund was established in late 1989 because of the anticipated effect on programs and services that social chances and downsizing would have on women and children in Westchester County. Women comprise 53% of the population of the county and by the year 2000 comprised 50% of the workforce. WREF accumulates studies, analyzes and distributes information concerning the present and future status of women. It promotes the interest of women nationally with particular emphasis on the women and children of Westchester County. It encourages, and assists women to develop their skills and talents through education and training.

The event was sponsored by Avon Products, Inc., College of New Rochelle, Merrill Lynch Global Private Client Group, Stock Family LLC, Stop & Shop, Visiting Nurse Services of Westchester, Inc., Where There's a Woman, There's A Way, and an anonymous sponsor.

Tao Porchon-Lynch and Suzanne Roberts

On Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 96-year-old Yoga Master Tao Porchon-Lynch went to Paulsboro, NJ and did an interview with 93-year-old Suzanne Roberts for Seeking Solutions with Suzanne - a nationally broadcast daily and weekly information / entertainment show targeted to an older adult audience. Check back for the air date. Afterwards, Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy interviewed Suzanne and Tao together for Tao's documentary, There Is Nothing You Cannot Do. It also draws upon Tao’s upcoming autobiography, Dancing Light: The Spiritual Side of Being Through the Eyes of a Modern Yoga Master. Much thanks to our cinematographer, Eu-nah Lee for spending the (very long) day with us.

Tao's documentary is about human potential - and the power we have to overcome obstacles, fear, loss and even war and come through the other side with hope, light, compassion and love. It's illustrated by Tao's journey and yet it's a much bigger conversation. It was amazing to get a perspective from TWO incredible women who have the long view of over nine decades. They were like sisters on the set and seemed to really enjoy each other's presence. Besides being contemporaries in terms of age, both were models and actresses, and have a commitment to hard work and giving back. That seemed to be one of their shared "secrets" to vitality and success in life.

Suzanne Roberts is an award-winning actress, director, producer, and TV host. She has become a role model of graceful aging as she provides both Boomers and Seniors information and insight on ways to enrich their lives, expand their horizons, and broaden their medical knowledge to improve their health. She is also an avid philanthropist - one of the largest private supporters of 29 performing arts organizations in the Philadelphia region. Her husband, Ralph J. Roberts, co-founded Comcast in 1963. Her son, Brian L. Roberts, is CEO of Comcast which owns multiple media & entertainment properties such as NBCUniversal, Universal Parks & Resorts and Universal Pictures, as well as E! Entertainment and the Golf Channel, among other entities.
