Book SynopsisCreative Yoga for Children offers a simple, ready-to-teach Montessori-based yoga program for children age twelve and under. Following age-appropriate classroom themes, the book's forty detailed, one-hour lessons are designed to supplement any learning environment and are accessible to parents and teachers alike--no special training is required. In a recent study by California State University, Los Angeles, yoga was found to improve students' behavior, physical health, academic performance, and attitudes toward themselves. Research also shows that the benefits of yoga are particularly strong among children with special needs. This book demonstrates how yoga can become a fun daily practice inside or outside the school classroom. Enhanced with over 100 black and white photos, the book's themes, or lessons, are divided by age range (ages four to six, seven to nine, and ten to twelve) and explore topics based on the child's developmental level. For four- to six-year-olds there are twenty hour-long lessons on subjects ranging from colors and the holiday seasons to sounds and words. Ten hour-long lessons for seven- to nine-year-olds introduce such topics as the body, countries of the world, botany, zoology, and the universe. For ten- to twelve-year-olds, ten hour-long lessons cover the environment, geometry, the Earth, fractions, the food chain, and more. Following the structure of a classroom lesson plan, each lesson incorporates elements of yoga including poses, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness. A discussion of the theme and intention of the lesson is followed by a warm-up of yoga poses. The children then engage in a cooperative connecting activity designed to bring them together, and a fun and lively theme-oriented activity that involves movement and awareness. The class winds down with breath work, a craft, and often a story. Finally, there is relaxation time and a guided meditation. With this preset structure, the children feel safe while being challenged and inspired. Derived from the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and the author's own experience in the classroom and yoga studio, Creative Yoga for Children allows children to move at their own pace and to be free to learn and grow within a non-competitive, nurturing setting. An essential resource for the 4,000 certified Montessori schools in the U.S., this book will appeal to yoga teachers, classroom teachers, parents, and anyone who works with children.

Book SynopsisHeartburn isn''t just a minor inconvenience - it is very painful and can inhibit your sleep, affect your work and make you feel miserable. Of course, if you are one of the millions of people who get heartburn at least once a month, you already know this. Heartburn happens when the lining of the oesophagus comes in contact with too much stomach juice, which can produce a burning pain and injure the oesophagus. There is a valve that connects the end of the oesophagus with the stomach, which normally functions to keep the stomach acid where it belongs - in the stomach. But in people with frequent heartburn, this valve relaxes too frequently, allowing the stomach acid to splash up into the oesophagus.TELL ME WHAT TO EAT IF I HAVE ACID REFLUX begins with an overview of acid reflux. Readers get a detailed yet completely understandable explanation of how and why this condition begins - an explanation that is based on the latest medical information. The majority of the book is dedicated to all the ways that diet and lifestyle can bring relief and decrease heartburn, including an entire section with specific tips and recipes to help you during the worst moments of suffering.TELL ME WHAT TO EAT IF I HAVE ACID REFLUX offers dozens of healthy, practical and tasty recipe options for foods you never thought you could enjoy again, plus heartburn-savvy tips on navigating the supermarket, cooking in your kitchen and eating out.

Book SynopsisDespite best efforts to exhaustively exercise and religiously diet, many are disappointed when their large pear shapes merely become smaller pear shapes. What's more, the best results never last: research confirms that 95 percent of people who go on diets will regain all of their lost weight, and 66 percent of dieters will end up even fatter than they were before they started dieting. And where does the weight grow back fastest? The stubborn problem areas people are most determined to target: the belly, butt, hips, and thighs. What if you could lose weight exactly where you want to, without over exercising or depriving your body of the fuel it desperately needs to stay healthy? And what if you could see results in two weeks? With the science of "Spot Reduction" it's possible! Lose Weight Here is a "rethink" of conventional weight management techniques. It optimises the two proven components for successful weight loss: low calories and hormone balance. Lose Weight Here will show readers how to combine the hormonal science of fat burning with the revolutionary science of spot training to reverse metabolic damage to get the bodies they have always dreamed of. Lose Weight Here is based on hard science, sound nutritional and physiological data, remarkable testimonials, and remarkable before and after photos from some of the 100,000 people the authors have helped in their gym and online. Unlike disappointing traditional diets, Lose Weight Here instructs readers on how to successfully alternate between periods of eating and exercising more, and periods of eating and exercising less. This unique method deactivates anti-burn receptors so that problem areas can be targeted and trimmed. For lasting results, Lose Weight Here teaches readers how to repair their metabolisms to maintain their hard earned results for life.

And this book proves it unequivocally. But it doesn't stop there. It offers dozens of proven, practical ways to beat a system that seems rigged against us. The ideas, evidence and takeaways from this book have the power to reshape America's declining health. This is the most-fascinating, scariest and flat out most-useful book I've ever read. Joel and Sina have done what no other authors have managed to do. They've created a survival guide for the war on our gut microbiome.” --Andy Snyder, Founder of Manward Press “Liberating! Fascinating! Transformational! The farmer, world-renowned Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm, and nutritionist Sina McCollough, PhD, are exactly what the world needs right now. Their conversational story-telling style in this delightful book is not only informational, pertinent, crucial and fascinating….it is transformational.” -- Zen Honeycutt, Moms Across America“This is a remarkably well-structured book, which unusually educates consumers on the simple steps they need to take to improve their diets rather than just outlining the problems surrounding the products on grocery store shelves. A must read for everyone who cares about food!”--Henry Rowlands, Director of The Detox Project“Beyond Labels tackles the very root of the cause of most modern diseases: diet! In this time of “food-like substances” as Joel likes to say, we need a return to home-cooked meals. Reading this book will help you better understand how real food can truly heal. We need more collaboration like this between food producers and healthcare providers.” --Diana Rodgers, RD, director of the film and co-author of the book Sacred Cow: The Case for Better Meat“The beauty of this book is that it addresses both ends of the value-chain and builds stronger connections between the plight of both growers and eaters. We share that goal on the Land to Market team at the Savory Institute - cultivating new market opportunities for farmers while empowering consumers with real-world data about environmental impact and soil health that allows them to vote with their dollar, in a transparent food democracy, like never before.”–Chris Kerston, Chief Commercial Officer of Land to Market - Savory Institute“In their groundbreaking book, Beyond Labels, Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin offer a thought-provoking network of strategies to take charge of our health and well-being through food choices adapted to individuals. You get to build your own pathway. You won’t find the magic bullet or any prescribed, mindless fad diets here, rather a complete atlas-makers toolkit for drawing custom pathways to the modern Mecca of good health through a diversity of whole foods. This book should be on the shelves of all eaters.” --Hank Will, Editor At Large, Mother Earth News & food farmer at Prairie Turnip Farm“Only solutions at the intersection of the food system and community health have the potential to deliver the lasting, sustainable cure we are desperately searching for. This book is a roadmap to that future.” --James Maskell, Founder of Evolution of Medicine“Beyond Labels unpacks one of the most undervalued powers humans possess: the ability to choose what we eat. With practical advice and no judgment, the authors provide clear entry points to an authentic organic food system, bringing our plates closer to our ideals.”—Michele Marchetti, Co-director of Communications, The Cornucopia Institute“A successful, all-natural farmer and a savvy PhD nutritionist/scientist get together to write a book about food. What a concept! Finally, a story about eating that invites you, the reader, to co-create your own personalized roadmap to finding the best food options for you and your loved ones.”--Will Winter, DVM, Holistic Veterinarian“Hands down, the best book I’ve read in years. As a mother, wife, meal planner, and budget calculator, I have found myself overwhelmed standing in the grocery checkout line with the multitude of fad diets or quick mental health fixes available. The colorful pictures with seemingly happy healthy people conflict with what the grocery store offers in their coupons or incentives for me as the grocery shopper. Beyond Labels has given me a simple guided approach for success not only nutritionally, but mentally and emotionally.”–Christine Fauver, mother of two“This book has the power to change the way the food industry operates and thus, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the health of Americans! We have been gifted, by Joel and Sina, a transparent look into the way food is grown and handled, and the information is packaged in bright, amusing, swirls of color, that left me feeling that this gift could keep on giving. I finished this book feeling empowered to make simple, step by step changes in my personal life and in my business. This book should be included in every high school and university health and wellness class.” --Michelle Walrath, Producer of FedUp & Co-Founder of Organic Krush
