Meet an “Amazing” Who Couldn’t be Stopped by a Broken Back

Kazim Gurbuz, 97, broke his back in a car accident when he was 41. That didn't stop him.

Kazim Gurbuz, age 97, broke his back in a car accident when he was 41. You’d think that was enough to keep him immobile the rest of his life, but no! Kazim refused to accept his condition as being permanent, and with the help of friends, worked on his body, using the power of his mind to heal himself.

He successfully reclaimed his physical well-being (except for a bump in his waist), to the point where he became a yoga teacher. Dedicated to physical fitness, in addition to practicing and teaching yoga, he swims, takes long walks, and skis during winter. Kazim is of the opinion that life begins at 65! What a life-enhancing attitude!
