7-year-old Chinese boy with autism becomes country's youngest yoga teacher; earns USD 15,900

Quote:
A seven-year-old Chinese boy who suffered from autism has emerged as the country's youngest yoga teacher, earning over $15,900 by teaching the ancient Indian practice to more than 100 students.

Sun Chuyang, or Mike, from Taizhou city in Zhejiang province learned yoga for three years and received a certificate for yoga teaching a year ago.

Sun has trained more than 100 students, it said.

His mother said Sun learnt yoga to fight autism which he was diagnosed with in a day care centre when he was two-years old.

At the age of six, Sun found employment as he was approached by several local yoga centres to help teach youngsters the ancient Indian practice.
