Younger Generation Turning To Yoga Classes

DALLAS -- A much younger generation has found a new way to exercise -- yoga classes. Parents say it has helped their children in their commitment to be fit. For one boy, it has served as an alternative to medication.
Jake Ferguson, 11, is taking yoga mixed with other focus-enhancing exercises in an attempt to overcome occasionally severe anxiety, and the focusing and breathing is working.
He and his mom credit instructor Jeff Farrell for the success.
Farrell has studied all over the world, and taught at Yale University and for the French government. He said yoga, tailor-made for individual kids, can improve focus, control breathing and reduce anxiety, and said the skills don't stay in the studio.
"They have the tools to take this to school, to take this with interaction with friends, with their own personal decisions," Farrell said.
Jake’s mom, Liz, first took him to a psychiatrist, who wanted to put him on medication. That made her nervous.
"I didn't want him to change his personality, very outgoing has lots of personality," she said.
So far, Jake is doing great and looks forward to yoga almost as much as basketball -- a result that has Farrell convinced that yoga can be a good alternative to a pill for kids.
"Oh, this is the future," Jake said.

Hinduism 101: Many faces of the divine
Connections: Workshop hopes to clear up misconceptions on a religion filled with colorful imagery

Popular misconception No. 1: Hinduism is a polytheistic religion.
Not so, said Dr. Hasmukh Shah, a Plano heart surgeon who teaches young members of the DFW Hindu Temple.
Non-Hindus see the statues of elephants, monkeys and multiarmed men and assume that Hinduism has a pantheon like that of ancient Greece, Dr. Shah said, but the images are in fact considered to represent incarnations of one supreme being.
Dr. Shah uses a human comparison to explain: "I'm a grandfather to my grandchildren, father to my children, husband to my wife – but I'm the same person."
It's a vastly complex religion, he said, but those who attend "Understanding Hinduism" on Sunday should get a grasp on the basics and clear up such misconceptions.
The Foundation for Pluralism, a Dallas-based interfaith organization, will host the workshop at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, 14315 Midway Road in Addison. Organizer Mike Ghouse, who founded the group and is the event's moderator, said this workshop will cover the origins of Hinduism, the concept of rebirth, India's caste system and more.
He estimates that North Texas has 50,000 to 55,000 Hindus.
"Understanding Hinduism" is part of a series of workshops that resemble a World Religions 101 course. Last month was "Understanding Islam," and next month will be "Understanding Judaism."
The point is to create understanding among people of different faiths, Mr. Ghouse said – "just so we know the various unique ways the Lord is worshipped."
Mr. Ghouse grew up in India, which has long struggled with violence between the Hindu majority and the Muslim minority. He said he saw some parents reinforce those ideas of hate and malice in their children; he was lucky enough to have been raised differently.
Whenever riots or attacks between the two groups broke out in his youth, he said, his parents wouldn't take one side or another. They would merely describe it as the evil activity of a few that was spreading. They taught acceptance and love, he said, and that stuck with him.
Dr. Shah and the Swami Nityananda Prabhu, president of the Hare Krishna Temple in Dallas, will present brief lectures on Hinduism, and a question-and-answer session will follow. Mr. Ghouse expects about 100 people to attend.
