When: Friday, Dec. 20th ~ 7:30pm – 9:30pm Where: Darling Yoga, 11711 College Boulevard How Much: $20 Join us as we lift our group consciousness to celebrate the ONENESS we are this holiday season. “Wisdom and compassion should become the dominating influences that guide our thoughts, our words and our actions.” Matthieu Ricard Karen Armstrong, a former Catholic nun, author of over twelve books on comparative religion, has spent her life studying all the world’s religions. She has found that compassion is the thread that runs through all of them. The “Season of Lights” is a time when many of the world’s major religions celebrate this Light within each heart. In spite of these celebrations of spirit during the holidays, it can be a time of stress and loneliness for many. Join us as we come together in a spirit of love, community, and compassion. All faiths and no faiths are welcome. This workshop will include: A ‘Ritual of Forgiveness’ A Kriya for Self-Care A Kriya for Compassion (This kriya includes some gentle moving, so please wear your yoga clothes and bring your yoga mat. Gentle movement and breathing will prepare our mind for the following meditation.) Meditation for a Calm Heart (which includes specific mudras) Performing the Beautiful Mahan Jaap “I believe that to have world peace we must first have inner peace. Those who are naturally serene, at peace with themselves, will be open towards others. I think this is where the very foundation of universal peace lies.” – The 14th Dalai Lama Mantra, meditation and mudras are powerful spiritual technologies that assist in rewiring your...

Growing up is hard work, and a child has a special set of requirements to get the job done. “Kids have to be treated as their own entities with unique needs,” says Laura Jana, a pediatrician in Omaha and a coauthor of Food Fights ($15, amazon.com). That’s because your little person is still developing, of course, from her brain to her bones. Here are a few ways in which she’s different from you—and how you can give her what it takes to get big and strong. She Dehydrates More Easily There are a few reasons for this: Water makes up a greater proportion of a child’s body, and children have faster metabolisms, which means their systems need more water to run smoothly. You’ve heard “eight glasses a day” for the average grown-up, but for kids there’s no magic number. The amount of water depends on a child’s weight and activity level; as those increase, so does the quantity needed, says Jana. At a minimum, younger children should drink about 32 ounces, or four glasses, of water daily, and older kids, about eight, says Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician in Atlanta and a coauthor ofHeading Home With Your Newborn ($16,amazon.com). Stay-healthy tips: Young children may not ask for a drink until they are very thirsty, which means they are already beginning to dehydrate. Make sure to offer water throughout the day, especially if they are active. If plain water doesn’t go over so well, try adding frozen fruit slices (such as lemon, lime, or strawberry). The best way to know that a child is getting enough water is through her bathroom habits. “When kids urinate...
