I have known Lolita since I was a child. She was just Lolita, good friend of my great aunt Florrie. I started doing yoga about 15 years old and ten years ago found out that Lolita does yoga and has been doing so for some time. She recently turned 95 and still has a regular yoga practice. I decided to speak with her about it. If you are interested in amazing yoga classes in Toronto come to FireflowYoga. Got to fireflowyoga.com
I just started practicing Yoga 6 months ago at home and am loving it. I just turned 68 and people have asked me if I have had a face lift:) Escaped a 25 year abusive marriage and never looked back. GOALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How wonderful. thanks for commenting and sharing.
Good on you amazing. Best of luck to you and every happiness 😍🍀🙏
Brilliant 🤩 thanks 🙏🏻
That is so very inspiring. Sending you love.
All power to you Lady.
"even though my husband has been gone 10 years, i feel still nurtured" wow. i am blown away by that. what a great relationship and friendship it must have been.
thanks for your comment. May we all have such relationships
Exactly...
And even though she was asked about her practices, about Yoga in her life, she clearly gave us a hint that true loving is the true energy source. 🌿
I just wrote a secret that I couldn't keep in me longer, to a friend, an hour ago... And it is about my discovery that all therapies haven't helped me but when I had one day a hope that someone I appreciate loved me, I started feeling that my inside goes back to health. Miraculously...
And even tho I was mistaken that time, it's ok, life gave this for me to discover the real source of itself ::)
Love it
My sentiments exactly. Imagine if her husband could hear her saying that now, how good and proud it would make him feel. That’s the goal of marriage to me.
@@geometriaswiatla Hey darling, I don't know the story of your secret. That you gave away and I don't know what followed.
I just hope you're doing well. With you.
true love, comes from within.
Do you see how content she is with herself?
My goal in life is to be acceptable to myself.
I have always enjoyed my company. I m 30. My goal still is to get more comfortable with every layer of me.
protect your heart. No one knows what your being needs. Prioritise yourself. Always.
Lots of Love ❤ to you
I've just got my Yoga Instructor's certificate at 69.
Please Mataji make video of your yoga practice. Namaskar OM 🙏🏽🔥🕉️
Congratulations!!
Congratulations. How wonderful.
Well done 👏
Congtatulations!I got it at 46. Now I am 48.
Yoga is not just movements ,or stretching, but also in a state of mind, such as love , peace and joy. Ms Lolita does her yoga in her small space , no mat, no fancy yoga outfits, with her fancy pearls dangling on her neck. She does Yoga because doing it makes her feeling healthy and happy. That's my goal too.
Fatastic Ms Lolitha.
We people age 68and above have inspiration .
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for sharing. You capture it so well. Thanks for your sharing your beautiful goal.
There are four broad types of yoga: the yoga of action (karma yoga), the yoga of intelligence (gnana yoga), the yoga of emotion (bhakti yoga) and the yoga of energy (kriya yoga).
But unfortunately, people outside India had completely dismantled the meaning of Yoga. Yoga literally means Union (Union with that One). And the Yoga-Sutra (real Yogic Text) have a very small part of Aasana and Pranayam (stretching exercises and breathing exercises respectively). There is a lot to it but somehow only Aasana has gotten the fame and now whenever someone says "Yoga" people imagine only some stretching exercises. People have invented there own aasana as well lol, which maybe okay for physical exercise but I wish they wouldn't go on calling it "yoga" because even the real aasana from Yogic text were made for the soul reason of "Mukti". Mukti is a higher goal, of course. And when one is on the path of higher goal, there are many great small things happens during the journey. This is exactly what happens with our health when we perform Yogic aasana. But people doesn't even know the real goal anymore, they think Yogic practices are just for healthy leaving and peaceful mind, but that was just the byproduct and never the actual goal.
@@takini4918 Well said. Thank you!
@@takini4918 Then what is Mukti really, please elaborate, thanks
Clear pronunciation,wonderful memory, efficient body at the age of 95 is not less than miracle.
True!!!
@@prajakta7817 no it isn't a miracle. I think that is the point
@@hypnotechno Yes, it IS a point here in this video and with proper routine, we can achieve this, however, it seems like a miracle in today's time as we are not much familiar to see such great health and body of a 95+ person in most of the cases :)
@@prajakta7817 oh well yes you are right. Peace be with you
@@hypnotechno why not, sure :)
this was truly inspiring. especially the quote “i’m not trying to stay young, i’m trying to stay with it”. thank you for sharing
thanks for sharing
Yes, that was such a conscious viewpoint 😊
Indeed! Lolita doesn’t think about age, it is Yoga made who she is today, so inspiring!
Thank you for sharing, Namaste ~ 💕
She said 'vivid', not with it :)
Great and inspiering ! I'm only 70 years old and started practicing Yoga 2 years ago and hopefully go on for some years ! Thanks a lot !
Keep practicing. It's also important to have a teacher - either with privates or in a small group. Lolita attended a small group class once a week where the teacher would give detailed alignment cues to make sure she continued to practice in the healthiest way possible.
@@fireflowyoga thanks Jonathan!
@@fireflowyoga And how is Lolita?
@@deenad3562 Thanks for asking Lolita passed away a few years ago at age 99. She was still doing yoga, and travelling up till 6 month before she passed. She had an unfortunate incident where a large dog knocked her over and she broke her hip. That triggered some other challenges and 6 months later she passed away.
You're welcome. How wonderful that you started at 70 years old. How inspiring! Lolita practiced once a week in a small group to make sure she was doing it correctly and to get feedback on what she was doing. May your yoga practice continue to keep you moving and fully alive.
"I am not trying to keep young I am trying to stay with it " such words of wisdom, I felt like everyone is trying to look young keep young rather than living with age and aging healthily and gracefully. she is so beautiful and such a inspiration.
thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Well said.
I’m sure the yoga has been very beneficial for her. But I also think the wonderful relationship she had with her husband also contributed to her health and longevity. I loved listening to her talk - I would have loved a longer interview. What an interesting person.
A healthy relationship always gives a great value to the life.
I agree. I would love to see a longer interview.
...and maybe a tour of the house. heehee.
I started yoga in my 40’s too and still practice regularly 17 yrs later. I hope I will reach her age with this kind of equanimity.
This video was posted almost 10 years ago and I'm noticing recent comments. RUclips algorithm is at works again and it's a good one. I wonder if this lovely lady is still around, hopefully still as strong as ever. What an inspiration ❤
she passed at age 99. she was knocked over by a large dog. she broke her hip. from that other ailments arose. she passed 6 months later. May her memory be an inspiration. I tried to push the video while she was alive. she would have been so moved by the comments. yes. it seems to have an algorithm. I don’t understand how that happens but am grateful for it
99 is good life and good age. I am in middle age. I think most people will be happy live 89. And have good health at 85.
@@fireflowyoga that is a long life. she is a real inspiration!
@@fireflowyoga At 1.51 she says...... my friends ask oh what you do to keep the way you are I always tell them there is no point in telling you because I know that you are not going to do it. This is a wonderful truth because very few people are able to practice yoga on a regular basis. Regularity is the secret behind the success in yoga
I know! I was reading comments from recent, but noticed how old the video was. How on Earth does youtube know what I need to be watching right now in my life?!
I am taking care of my 84 y.o. Mom. And I can't express enough to her the importance of exercise. She gets around ok but couldn't get off the ground if she fell. She thinks yoga is odd/for weirdos/whatever/who-knows.. same with Tai-chi. This is so inspiring. I can't wait to show her this. Maybe I can get her to do this w me. I need it too.
I wish this woman could know how inspiring she is.
What a beautiful spirit.
Fantastic. I am 71, and have been doing yoga for fifty years, as well as strengthening exercise, cardio and walking and I look, by all accounts ten years younger.how do I feel? Like in my forties……..never too late to start, if those who read this, think I am too old!!! No such thing as too old. I started skiing in my fifties, as well as dressage.
Please Mataji make a video of your yoga practice. Namaskar OM 🙏🏽🔥🕉️
Wonderful wise choices for 50 years! and all the health and mental benefits too.
You are my inspiration ❤ ✨ 💖
Yes me too look 40 but I’m 60
I agree. I STARTED DOING YOGA at 45 AND I GET SERTIFICATE IN 46.Already 2 years as yoga instructor I feel better than in twenties.
I love how she still feels nurtured by her husband 10 years after his passing ..💜
Yes. Thanks for your comments
Her husband loved her at a soul level. When you are rooted and fed that way by someone, it flourished eternally 🌞
95 years young- living proof of the power of yoga. The benefits of a daily practice over 50 years. So inspirational.🧘♀☮💖✨🙏
thanks for sharing
95 means nothing because you are timeless & beautiful. 🥰
thanks for your beautiful words
that is why I lost my sleep ate 3 AM and came to the internet. She is all I needed to know to keep on living with joy. Thank You.
The best Yoga Institute is The Art of Living with body mind is also given most important any one can join this and learn yoga in holistic way through online
"Even though my partner is gone 10 years I feel still nurtured." 💚
I wish this were longer 😢! When I say how life transforming yoga is I am not exaggerating. It literally changed me!
What a wonderful woman! I looked her up online and apparently she passed away in 2016. Her name was Lolita Goldstein. May she be remembered by the people she inspired.
Yes. That is correct. Thanks for your beautiful thoughts and words.
I think I will carry on with the yoga. Age is a state of mind, think old you will be old. This lady is an inspiration, love the fact she enjoys a drink.
My thoughts exactly.. 🙏
Yes me too 🍷😉
Absolutely
Ditto.
Just thinking of my dad who at age of 90 still drove his car. Sadly lost him 2years back. He never ever thought he is old. Always active. No cigarettes no alcohol.
Died due to prostate problem. Missed him. On 28th Dec this year would have been 95 years.
Incredibly inspiring. I've had a full career as an English teacher but I just became a certified yoga instructor at 55 years old. I'm hoping that my second career will involve yoga and movement. This is so very inspiring. Thank you for sharing Lolita with us. :)
I was an English teacher too & loved it. Retired now & enjoying not grading papers. :). I’ve been doing yoga for close to 15 years & have thought about becoming a yoga teacher too, but I decided against it so that my schedule is totally flexible. Enjoy!
And I am here grading papers at nearly 55, dreaming of being a yoga teacher!
Just wonderful 🥰
@@williamb7275 the world needs yoga teachers the most.....you can do when you will to....your students are awaiting your teaching they just don't know it yet, but they will turn up at your classes.... Namaskar OM 🙏🏽🔥🕉️
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Let’s go Cynthia!!
May you continue to deepen your practice as you teach others.
Well, that has come at an opportune moment in my life. I am 61, male, just divorced (I didn’t want it) and sitting in a cold and grey UK day. I awoke at 4:40, my tinnitus was screaming at me and I felt very lonely. Watching and listening to this lady makes me realise that it’s just up to me; it’s my ‘inner voice’ talking negative nonsense. It’s a mind set and if I am to be happy and fulfilled in the remaining years it’s totally down to me; my decision. Thanks!
Well said.
Don't listen to those negative thoughts. This dear lady shows that there's a other way. I loved watching her video. Found your own comment very interesting. Sounds like you have good awareness. Well done and best wishes for the future.
Beautiful!! Not one thumbs down - how could one not love this woman and this video? So, so inspiring!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Woooooww this is amazing,my 22 year old self came across this and am so inspired
Thanks for your inspiring comment. It further inspires me.
What an inspiration Lolita is:) She is an amazing woman! I started practicing yoga 30 years ago. I was already a fitness instructor but switched my practice to yoga and never looked back. I was sadly widowed in 2020 at the age of 62. My husband was also my very best friend and I feel so blessed to have had such an amazing relationship with him. However, I do find it very painful living without him. I go to yoga classes at least 3x's a week or do my own practice at home. I use a mini trampoline for my lymphatic system, walk, paint and read. I also cook everything from scratch and all my food is organic. If I am to live a long life alone I want to be healthy and be able to look after myself in my old age. I absolutely love yoga, pranayama and meditation.
You too are an inspiration! so many years of good choices. My condolences for the loss of your husband.
@Carla... Your Life too is an inspiration for everyone else. God bless you. Namaste🙏 from India.
You also are an inspiration to all!!So Amazing!! Just reading all that you do denotes you believe in your self, and have great determination and willpower as your driving force. Wishing you all the best on your path in life 👌🏻🙏🏻
@@wildlifegardenssydney7492 Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@roslyntucker4741 Thank you Roslyn. I really appreciate your lovely comment.
It's lovely - in the last weeks I stumbled upon more and more older sophisticated ladys - vibrantly alive, brimming with wisdom and radiating a very contagious joy for life. I'm glad to have found some of these grand dames that portrait a georgeous melange of grandeur, elegance and unique love for all things LIFE! 💕
thanks these wonderful words of the vibrant and sophisticated older women who are old in age but whose spirts stay forever alive, curious and therefore young.
I wanna send this to all of my friends who don't believe me when I say my lifestyle will lead me to live a long and healthy life, looking young, keeping a sharp mind and an agile body until I'm 95 years old like this wise lady. I aim to look, move, speak, think and live like this at 95, while they'll look like this at 64 ;)
thanks for your great words. Lolita mentioned she doesn’t bother telling her any of her friends because she said she knew they would not listen 😊
Nice friend you are :)))))
@@majdavojnikovic I sure love passive aggressive people like you :)))))
@@fireflowyoga that's her wisdom showing! : D
Woah, look at her! My mother-in-law is almost 95 and she can barely move out of her chair. I on the other hand do all those exercises once a week at my fit-for-life gym class and they do keep me supple.. Am just appreciating how regular exercises and stretches are really good for your core muscles. Keep it up Lolita!
P000
I think getting to your nineties, whether highly mobile or not, is a blessing and an achievement in itself 🙂.
My Mum is 90,she has a small glass of red wine, 50 percent water each day. Staying active physically through life is the key. It's hard if you have a disability though, I can manage Vinyasa yoga beginners with having Fibromyalgia and prior injuries to neck and back.
disability advocacy is always an important angle!! thank you for mentioning that
Thank India for bringing yoga to the world!
I have be doing yoga since 18 years old I am now 66 years old and still do my yoga it keeps you alive
Thanks for sharing
She is so adorable, reminds me of my grandmother, I wish I had a video of hers like this. This generation of people were the best, very classy and good hearted.
So glad it reminds you of your grandmother. Thanks for sharing.
I love how she wears her pearls effortlessly during yoga 💜. A classy lady 👏
I feel she has some chanel outfits in her closet ....
I started yoga at 55. Aside from changing my diet it’s the second best thing that’s ever happened to me and I am 65 now.
Thanks for sharing. That is amazing. Happy holidays
The 2nd best? Curious to know the 1st. 😊
I just turned 50 on the 15th of this month and this really encourages
Thanks for sharing. Happy birthday.
I’m 54 and yoga has changed my life... this lovely woman is such an inspiration! I hope to live 95 years old
Thanks for your comments and inspiring words. Your hope and wish is an inspiration for everyone here.
I absolutely love this! I have similar views on aging. And have always believed that this lady is more of how all of us can be if we desire & choose. Thank for sharing.
I also found yoga around 40. I'm so inspired and happy I chose this path, even if later in life.
beautiful. thanks for sharing
Wow absolutely wow 95? She looks so amazing so vibrant and fit for her age I'm sure God smacked
Phenomenal.... I 💚 her energy...
This vid is 9 years ago... She ought to be 104 now... I do hope she is still around 👼🏼🌟🌹
Thanks for your comments. Lolita lived till she was 99. At 98 she was still travelling several months a year and doing her regular yoga. She was in a room with a large dog. The dog knocked her over and she broke her hip. From there other complications arose and she passed away 6 months later. Her energy and spirit lives on here with your words and the amazing comments from people over the past few weeks. Happy holidays.
@@fireflowyoga1536 what an inspiring woman 🌹She has done herself good for so many years... The great amazing Energy, Spirit, Wisdom, Kindness she possed and Focus lives on 🌟💚. This has inspired so many like myself. It's very uplifting vibes.. 💫✨ May God and Angels be with her at all times whenever she goes 👼🏼 🕊️
Thankyou for your update, dear.. Happy Holidays 🎄👼🏼🧚♂️
What a wonderful lady! she looks like she’s in her 70s at most
thanks for your comments
Yoga is a / my way of life and goes far beyond the postures.
As a yogateacher for many years I have reached people from 2 till 88. And I see the change . Also by myself. Because when I teach out of my heart I do that with love.
And that is what I saw at Lolita as well. Love is in her hart and when it is there you become love. Just as she .
If we spread yoga we spread love and that is stronger then anything else.
It keeps you conscious, in the moment and healthy.
Namaste lovely people
❤️🙏🏽💚
She made my day💓 what a beautiful soul. God bless you Queen🥰
Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing inspiration this georgeous and wise lady is! 💗
thanks for your comments
I saved it to remind myself every time I have low energy
She is fabulous...so youth and independant...she has the energy of someone in their 40s ...
thanks for your beautiful words
I absolutely love this woman. I remember her Ted talks. She reminds me of my great grandmother. She lived to 108 years old and still smoked 2 packs of non filters a day and drank a 5th of whiskey a day until about 90 then it was only half a 5th. Lol she has that same spirit, but better guided perhaps. This lady is a gift to the world.
Om Namo Bhagawate Vasudevaya; Hari Om Tat Sat; Har Har Mahadev Har. Thank you for your inspiration 🙏🕉️
You're welcome. Your great words inspire and are appreciated.
I love this woman and her outlook on life; her sense of how important movement is to the body at any age. I hope she is still alive and still working at it. And I loved what she said about yoga (movement) to help "stay with it". This is my plan as well.
She passed away at 99
I've been doing yoga on and off since in my 20's. I'm 50 this year. Finished YTT in April. I went to 2 auditions yesterday and was told by both teachers that I look 30. I'm like this woman, I don't think about it. However, I do share the yoga because Everybody deserves Yoga 💜💜💜
How wonderful. Thanks for sharing and for comments.
You are my idol. You are an inspiration for me. I am 65 years old and look 50 years. Yoga makes a difference in the way we feel. I used to practice the salutation to the sun every day but I have stopped doing it. Looking at how beautiful you look makes feel like practicing yoga again. You look wonderful at 95. You are an example to all of us. I wish I could meet you. I am sure you have a noble soul. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing!
such a example, of light, thank you for sharing
You're welcome. Thanks for your comments.
Amazing and more evidence of the power of yoga 🙏🏻🧘♂️ Incorporating a daily practice of yoga into my life has definitely made me feel younger.
Extraordinary woman. To say the least.
This woman is lovely; every part of her. This gives me a vast amount of hope. Thank you.
thanks for sharing.
Hi everyone, I have say of all the different exercises I have done over the years yoga is incredible!!! I just got my teacher certification in October and I am 64. You never stop learning or moving. My father was a professional dancer and entertainer and lived to 100. He always said keep moving!!!!
Congrats on getting your teacher certification ! And how amazing your father lived till 100. You have at least 36 great years to teach and practice.
She is amazing. I feel that I would like to spend time getting to know her. She has a lot to teach.🍎😊
Searched for some new exercises and found a new hero! Beautiful and amazing 95 y/o lady. Thank you, for showing such incredible people!
You're welcome. Thanks for your comment.
She is a Lolita in her 95th year, you inspire us.
Awesome! 👏👏👏👏👏🥰
You are right. The chronological age sometimes doesn’t match with your inside feelings.
&
You are also right, the partner in our lives makes the difference.
thanks for sharing and for your comments.
I think you’re right. I’m late 60s. Have had no partner since 1991 when he broke my heart. I miss having someone to share my life with it’s a lonely existence.
What an incredible person with fantastic life advice!
A true queen, wish to be like here at that age! Hope she is well today, wherever she is :)
She is truly an inspiration!
Thanks for sharing.
Aging, growing old and sickly, that's been one of my biggest fear for a long time, especially having cynical people around me who've always preached they'd want to die soon enough.
This gives me hope, it's the kind of guidance I really need
Thanks for sharing. It is inspiring to know this give you hope.
@@fireflowyoga1536 thank you ❤️
Would love to see her talking about her way of life in another video.
Yoga and stretching in general is very good for the body and mind. I’ve just recently started doing it and I’ve already felt a massive increase in my strength, flexibility, and calm. I used to hate stretching but that was because I never gave it a chance.
I just love this. God willing this will be me. I am 66 but feel very young and I do yoga every day. Just like Lotitia I do about 30 mins most days and then a long session of yoga at the weekend or when I go to a class. It really is a way of life. I know if I cant do any for a couple of days how I miss it.
Thanks for sharing.
There's no point telling you because I know you won't do it. 😂 Lady I felt that.
Yes. She was very direct. Thanks for your comment.
Wow this is so inspirational 👏🏽 I'm glad I came across this, I do yoga occasionally but now I'm gonna make it a daily thing.
This lady inspired me to start again practising.
How wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have started practicing again.
Her voice is very young! She's definitely with it!
Doing yoga in pearls, the Dame has class!
The beauty of yoga❤️❤️❤️
Lolita absolutly deserved to be presented, mentioning her full name. Not only Lolita.
Bless her heart she past away at 99 she fell and broke hip from a big dog knocking her down 6 months after her injury she passed away.. at that age amazing soul and beautiful message she left behind for us she is an angel 💕💝💖🥂💯
@Yamuna Jolicouer. How do you know this?
Yoga is fantastic. I do 20 mins every morning and have done for 17 years now im 68. It makes you feel alive.
Beautiful and inspiring! 🙏❤️✨
What a marvelous great looking woman, this is so inspiring for all of us. I am 60 years and practise yoga since I was 22, hope I can be like her when I am at her age! Share this of course!
Thank you for this much-needed inspiration. Lolita is incredible! I turned 68 a month ago, and seeing this beautiful woman's agility is the push I needed to get out of my chair and start moving!
We need more people like this
Yes. Thanks for your comments
I’m sold! I was doing a 90-day challenge to get back into fitness. Now I shall incorporate this even after I’ve hit my goal. ❤️❤️
wonderful. what a wonderful goal. good luck
Such an inspiration! Wonderful
Thankyou for sharing her story-so captivating and inspiring and beautiful 😍
You're welcome. Thanks for sharing.
She seems so cool we all need someone like her in our lives :)
Thanks for sharing.
This is fabulous to see at this age and not giving up but living life to it's fullest. Yes, it requires work but it's worth it to receive good quality physical being. I love it! I'm only in the 60's but definately Lolita is a roll model to follow. You are beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing, it's very inspiring.
thanks for your great words may you be as strong and vibrant till 95 and beyond.
She’s amazing! I love her 💕💕🦋🌈🌍🌍
What a wonderful woman, such an inspiration
thanks for yourr comments
95yrs old,you are awesome 👌, my inspiration!!.this is truly unbelievable 👏 😍
thanks for your comments
Amazing! Wow, she’s so well preserved. Unreal. She may very well make it to 110.
Look for the comment by cesar prinzac. The channel operator replied to him that she passed in 2016 at 99 years old. More details as to why in the comment.
This video was so very inspiring, and I read all of the comments to make it last longer. Glad I did, because I read your updates on her death. I’m most inspired by what she said of her late husband, and think that’s the main key to her vitality. Ten years after his death, and she still feels nurtured from him. Absolutely amazing. A goal for my life. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. thanks for your comments.
Yoga keeps me flexible. I started to do it when I was in my early 30's. I am now 54 still doing it. Sometimes I also do Pilates for the core muscles and HIIT for my heart.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful. We need more women (and men) like this on SM/ magazines etc as role models.
thanks for your comment
she is so fabulous. Inspiring!!
🙏🏻
She's amazing!
It's amazing! This beautiful lady is a inspiration for us!
Thanks for your comments which inspires me.
Life goals! I'd love to see more of her!
Really appreciate hearing your comments. Thanks for sharing.
What an inspiration!!!
Amazing .
Is She still alive?
Who knows? God bless this lady. ☮️🌠
In the comments it says she passed at 99
Fantastic I'm with 52 now and yoga is a very good helping for me
There's no other better word for this wonderful woman than inspiration ❤️
