A 6-year-old girl became the world's youngest yoga teacher
Little yogi Shruti Pandey has been teaching yoga for adults at an ashram in northern India for two years now. Every day, Pandey begins her classes at 5:30 am. People of different ages and different social status come to the baby's lessons - from housewives to businessmen.
- I like it when people follow my instructions. I feel like a real teacher, says Pandey.
- I became interested in yoga after I saw my brother doing it. Then I tried to learn how to do assanas myself, but it's too difficult. So my parents sent me to the guru.
The baby's brother, 11-year-old Harsh Kumakh, got into the Indian Guinness Book of Records, flawlessly performing all 84 poses at the age of five. However, unlike his sister, he never became a teacher.

- She learns very quickly and perfectly performs all the poses. Within six months, my sister was performing poses that sometimes are beyond the power of an adult,”says Brother Pandey.
The girl easily holds her whole body on one hand, and also easily throws both legs behind her head.
