UMMMHHH I HEAR THE GYM CALLING
The yoga supergran who can still assume the lotus position... at the age of 83
This is just mental!!! I had my bag packed to head to SH gym to today, but after a day in the studio staring at the screen, all i wanted to do was get home, put some cleans bedding on, have a bath and chilllll.
Yeah i am a lazy bitch your right, and my body does seem to be getting a bit softer around the edges. But after seeing this it made me realise if i am going to conquer all my wonderful dreams I need alot of years to do so. So maybe this is my answer to a longer life...
Yoga instructor Bette Calman may be 83, but she's still bending over backwards to spread the benefits of the ancient Indian discipline.
The nimble grandmother can really pull some shapes and with her set hair and pearl earrings she looks as glamorous as Greta Garbo in a pink jumpsuit.
With 40 years of teaching under her belt, the Australian wonder is living proof that a lifetime's dedication to yoga will keep you flexible as a rubber band.
While others her age complain about aches and pains, Mrs Calman focuses on getting tough balancing manoeuvres right.
Mrs Calman from Williamstown, southeast Australia, can do all the difficult moves including the agonising 'peacock' where the body is held in a horizontal position by the strength of the arms alone.
The bendy granny can also pull off a tricky raised 'lotus', 'bridge' and a headstand with ease.
She can also put her head between her knees and hold her ankles putting her inflexible grandchildren to shame.
I'm proof that if you keep at it, you'll get there. I can do more now than I could 50 years ago,' Mrs Calman said.
So when will she give it up?
'You're never too old. The body is a remarkable instrument.
'It can stretch and stretch, and get better all the time. Forget age,' said Mrs Calman, the author of three yoga books including one called Yoga for Arthritis.
'Even a basic posture, or just going to a window and breathing deeply, can have big benefits.'
It's that spirit that has made Mrs Calman a legend.
She was a pioneer of the regime in Australia in the 1950s, ran yoga centres for 33 years and made regular TV appearances in the 70s.
She thought she would take it easy in Melbourne, but was drawn back to teaching as yoga interest grew.
'I came here to retire, but my daughter, Susie, who's also a teacher, kept being pestered for fill-in teachers at her health centre. That was eight years ago,' she said.
Mrs Calman teaches up to 11 classes a week with no sign of stopping and she keeps the 'corpse' posture strictly for her classes.
'Yoga keeps you young,' she said.
'Never have I gone to a yoga class and wished I was somewhere else, because I know I'm going to come out feeling on the top of the world. There'll always be yoga.'

I know these guys arent new news, but i still love them for what they do!!!
Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek have spent the past fourteen years documenting the striking dress codes of various social groups from skinheads to gangs. Exactitudes is a humorous photographic look at the way in which we distinguish ourselves from others yet still remain part of a group identity.
And you thought you were standing out in your new limited edition yellow washed, rare antique Argentinian leather Brogues??
I’m sure the guy downstairs has a pair??
