We Tried It: Yoga for youth


 
Yoga has a rep for being a fantastic stress-reliever. Sounds pretty handy, eh? But the smooth moves can be super tricky to pull off when you're just looking off of your fave mag. Good thing the Shanti Generation series has come around!  Creator Ally Wills set it up as a release to combat all of those rough and tough things that happen in day-to-day life. Perfect timing with all of that mid-term stress, don't ya think?

Keep in mind that you don't have to be super flexible to enjoy yoga.  Especially not when there's a DVD designed just for girlies your age. Shanti Generation: Yoga Skills for Youth Peacemakers was created specifically to help build confidence and mindfulness, all the while strengthening your bod.  Trust me, the yoga here is most certainly a workout.  If you follow the movements with your instructor, Wills, you'll feel it in the morn.

Yoga Skills for Youth Peacemakers is the first of the Shanti Generation series.  This vid features 5 practice sequences to help you get into the swing of the yoga thing, a pose library that's separated into "Focus," "Energy," and "Calm" categories, as well as breathing exercises and mindful self-awareness sessions. But my favorite part is how the majority of the program is performed by teens alongside Wills with some oh-so-soothing, feel-good music from 311's bassist, Aaron Wills.

Just itching to try it out for yourself?  It hits the scene for download and purchase on Tuesday, November 8th.  Blog in your opinions when you try it, babes!

this girl in my grade told me she was raped and that her doctor said she could be pregnant.Two of my friiends were there when she said that and we all think theres a chance shes lying.If shes not though i feel like i should say something to somjeone.What should i do?
thx!




Hey girlie,

Whether she's lying or not, she said this publicly so it wouldn't be out of line for you to speak up about it. Try going after school and quietly talking to a teacher or counselor at school. You could even tell your mom and dad, then figure out what you should do about it. (If they should call a counselor/principal, etc.) Rape is extremely serious and no one should have to be silent about it - they should get help and work through it with supportive people around them!

Hi! I fell off my bike on Thursday. I have really bad cuts on my hand. What can I do to have them heal really fast? They look really gross. I was hoping to have them almost or completely healed on Monday. Thank you!




Ouch, ouch! First, use a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide to make sure you've disinfected the cut and gotten all the dirt out. Then, use a first aid cream like Neosporin to take away the pain and also to promote healing. Cover it with Band-aids or a larger bandage to protect it from collecting dirt. Just keep reapplying Neosporin throughout the day and be patient til it heals all the way Smile Don't pick at it - especially not when it starts to scab!

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!! Excuse me MOD, but theres this guy in my class, but my BEST BEST BEST friend dated him and it turned out that he was only dating her on a bet with his friend, that if he asked her out if she would say yes. I think hes cute and I think he likes me, A LOT!!!!!!! every time i would sit on th carpet at school and try to read , he would sit next to me, and try to touch me, like on my hand and sometimes the chest. But i think hes nothing but trouble i would be getting into, and my best friend would hate me. WHAT WILL I DO ???????????

 

Hey girly, I don't think you should make a move. Your best friend would be really upset, I mean she actually liked this guy. I'm sure she was really hurt when she found out he only dated her because of a bet. What kind of a guy would do something like this to someone anyway? Just think of how you would feel if you were your best friend. There are plenty of other cute guys out there girl. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile
