Bette Calman Is an 83-Year-Old Yoga Grandma (Photo).
Bette Calman is an inspiration. At 83 years old, Calman is more flexible than most 20-year-olds. Calman, from Australia, can bend over backwards, lift her body with just her hands and hold several pretzel-esque poses.
"I’m proof that if you keep at it, you’ll get there," said Calman, a Yoga enthusiast who’s written several books about the age-defying qualities of the physical and mental discipline, including Yoga for Arthritis. "I can do more now than I could 50 years ago."
Her message to others?
The body is a remarkable instrument."
