Life is one long party for this 92-year-old yoga master

A 92-year-old yoga master has the secret to staying young — going to music festivals!

Madan Bali, the legendary founder of Yoga Bliss studio, brings his fun-loving, no-stress approach to the dance floor. Wearing a green Yoda hat topped by a bejeweled crown and paired with gold sunglasses, Bali looked like the ultimate club kid at the Igloo Fest in Montreal in February.

“Life is too short. I like to have a party. I like to enjoy and celebrate life and that’s what we’re here for,” he said.

His 44-year-old daughter, Gita Bali, shares her father’s zest for life and takes every opportunity to join him for fun outings. She said revelers’ jaws literally drop when they find out her father’s age.

“Celebrity status all the way at all the clubs. No lineups. Dad gets VIP instantly,” Miss India-Canada 1994 said of her father.

Gita and her father fit right in at wild dance parties, even though neither of them consumes alcohol or drugs.

“We don’t do that, we don’t believe in that nor do we practice that,” Gita said.

Bali said he gets high naturally.

“I feel the music is in my soul. I’m almost like in a trance-like experience. Especially the drumbeat and the techno music. Which has a beautiful rhythm in it. It really beats your heart out when you hear that,” he said.

The longtime spiritualist, who lives in Montreal, has been helping people mellow out for the past 45 years. Since immigrating to Canada from northern India in 1969, Bali has opened a yoga studio and introduced yoga classes in schools, colleges, community centers and corporations.

In addition to practicing yoga and letting loose on the dance floor, he said the secret to staying young is all in your head.

“Youth is not a time of life; it’s a state of the mind. That feeling is euphoric,” Bali said.

“It is today. Now is the time.”
