Personally I look forward to the day I can build a wing, which can take 100 lbs per square inch of wing loading and only weight 2 lbs per square meter. Material Sciences are coming a long way. It is only a matter of time when we can make Carbon NanoTubes with enclosed elements inside nearly non-penetrable. And consider the number of elements we can structure to make stuff. Any video gamer worth their salt needs to be thinking here in advance of the foreseeable future. Consider all this in 2006.more

Like adults, children need to relax every so often. Kids yoga often uses relaxing music and visualization techniques (sometimes 'guided' with a story) to encourage the child to focus on their breathing. Often, a session will end with the child being encouraged to share their experiences. Most importantly, the breathing focus will eventually allow the child to stay calm and in control in stressful situations, both in school and out.

It's never too early to start yoga and yoga for kids provides a holistic approach to developing rounded, healthy personalities. Whatever stage of development your son or daughter is at, kids yoga is one of the best investments you can make in their education AND they will learn vital skills that will stay with them forever.more

Finally, yoga can be practiced almost anywhere, anytime, by anyone, and requires no special equipment. It does not even require special training! While having an expert teach you personally would be best, a careful reading of books on the subject and a DVD or two can get you started. However, our modern citizens tend to throw themselves headfirst into new projects. Not only is this completely opposite from the philosophy and aims of yoga, but it can invite injury and strain. The people in the books and DVD's have been doing yoga for years. It is highly unlikely that you will immediately be able to duplicate their ability to achieve the positions they demonstrate. Just do the best you can, and then do it again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day...

As always, before beginning any physical fitness program, check with your doctor first to make sure it is okay for you to start. Once started, however, be aware that there are people in their 70s, 80s and 90s doing yoga. You will not be alone.more
