Certified before her 6th birthday, now a record-holder at 7: meet the world's youngest female yoga instructor

Phoenix Giselle Hicks earned her yoga instructor certification before her sixth birthday. Now, at seven years old, she has been entered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest female yoga instructor in the world — a distinction first reported by CBS News. Yoga teaching is a discipline of breath, balance and patience usually associated with decades of practice; Phoenix's record is a reminder that mastery can start astonishingly early when a child loves something and sticks with it. Somewhere, a class of adults is being led through sun salutations by a teacher who still needs a booster seat at the dinner table.
