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!

MOD!! I'm almost positive that I have from bipolar disorder. I've been noticing it getting worse these past few months. I'm constantly changing from quiet to loud, sad to happy, angered to care free. I'll be perfectly fine, and then become very sad or even furious at someone for no reason. For example, I was sitting in my room today in a perfectly decent mood. I got up and walked into the bathroom, and immediately burst into tears for no reason. I've told a few close friends about it, but I'm scared to say anything to my parents, as they sometimes aren't the easiest people for me to talk to. Any tips or ideas?

 

Hey girl, if it's getting this bad you need to talk to a doctor to get help. Let your parents know so they can take you in to get tested. I'm sure your parents will be there for you. Hope you feel better!! Smile Smile

***MOD MOD*** Ok, so I want to look better in a bathing suit (just for me, not anyone else) I'm a little pudgy in my stomach and thighs/butt, and I have an athletic body type. Are there any types of excersized that would really work for me? Also, are there some tips on junk food cravings? Last, what type of bathing suit would look best on me (I know it's not close to summer, but i'm just curious)

 

Hey girly, well this is the best time to start working out. You have all this winter to get your perfect bod. I would try sit ups, jumping jacks, and leg lunges. Riding a bike and jogging would be helpful too. It's okay to munch on junk food every once in a while, just don't let all that stuff consume your diet. Switch out the chips and soda for a fruit smoothie and a healthy salad. Try apples and caramel dip, uncooked broccolli and carrotts with salad dressing. Two pieces would look great on you girl. Hope all this helps! Smile Smile Smile

mod- (i already mod-ed about this on this page but everybody's and mine weren't answered) i mod-ed about this flirting thing that i thought was a game on face book. Well i was planning on blocking people that messaged me, but I never got around to doing it and just ignored the page. I recently got two messages form this guy (on the flirting thingy page). I ignored the 1st message. Yesterday he sent me a message saying, " This phone has everything, except your number" Should I just ignore it like I have been? After all, I don't know the kid. Thanks! Smile

 

Hey girl, yep I would just ignore it and block him. Smile Smile

why is everyone's mod comments unanswered?

 

Hey chicky, it was a mistake on my part. I didn't mean to approve them. If you have any questions just let me know girl! Sorry about that! Smile Smile

Okay, so every time i try to look at an article or do anything on girls life, a stupid LG ad pops up and gets in my way. Sometimes it has a close button and sometimes not. I had to get on a Mac computer because I couldn't post this comment because the ad didn't have a close and it wouldn't let me click post comment. This recently started happening and i have been getting very frustrated with it. When will this ad go away and why does it keep doing that? This is the first time it has happened. Thanks Smile
