103-Year-Old Ludington Yoga Instructor Still Going Strong

A yoga teacher in Mason County is drawing in students — in awe of her age.

Lil Hansen has been teaching yoga for more than 20 years, and the 103-year-old woman is still going strong.

Wednesday mornings, she leads a group of around 20 students through a yoga routine.

She says keeping active and emotionally calm are the keys to her longevity.

She's been dancing since she was two years old, and says transitioning to yoga was a natural fit for her.

“I don't sew, I don't knit, I don't crochet. My mother and sister did that, but I didn't have to,” said Hansen. “But standing in front of people doesn't bother me.”

The yoga class is free at the Ludington Senior Center Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.
