13-10-2025 07:00
Charlotte Chopin is 102 years old and lives in a small village in France.
She started yoga when she was fifty and soon started to teach other people. Her studio is in an old police building, and she gives lessons to a few women every week. She is strong and calm, and her students like her very much.
At ninety-nine, Charlotte went on a TV show and became famous for her yoga poses. Later, India gave her an award for helping people know more about yoga. She says she just feels lucky and happy to do what she loves.
Every day she eats breakfast, goes outside, and does yoga. She believes that good friends, a simple life, and movement keep her healthy and happy.
Difficult words: studio (a place to teach or do an activity), pose (a position of your body, often for exercise, yoga, or a photo), award (something you get for good work).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What three things does Charlotte believe keep her healthy and happy?
