Coimbatore:27.10.2019

The country on Saturday lost one of its oldest yoga exponents, V Nanammal, on Saturday. She was 99.

The resident of Ganapathy in the city shot to fame after she was conferred with the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award, last year for dedicating her life to teaching yoga to thousands. She had a huge following on YouTube for videos on yoga and naturopathy. She breathed her last around 12.30pm, her son V Balakrishnan said. “She had such a sound knowledge of her body that she predicted her death 40 days ago after performing my father’s death anniversary rites.

Though she led an active life and followed a healthy lifestyle, Nanammal recently suffered several falls and took months to recover. “One fall left her bedridden. She was having only coconut water and water for the last two weeks. She regained consciousness on Saturday morning and even talked to us,” Balakrishnan added.
