HOUSTON (KTRK) -- "Fifty and fabulous" are two words that may come to mind, when the name Gina Gaston is mentioned.

Gina turns 50 years old today, January 14th. In the 30 days leading up to her birthday, Gina shared a series of yoga poses, or asanas, and inspirational messages on Facebook.

Gina started practicing yoga in 1999 at the recommendation of friends.

She says age has enhanced her practice. In fact, she didn't master at least one of these poses until she was 46 years old, but she never stopped trying and that is the message and theme of her entire life.
