What is the best way to market a yoga-exercise posture deck?

As a Pilates teacher selling items to clients and others, i would recommend first an email to all yoga studios in the US and European community explaining your products and its benefits. i would also target all chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, sports clinics and even Pilates studios as we all deal in one manner or another with posture related issues. If interested then you could send a flyer through the mail or email. If targeting other countries be prepared to quote a shipping rate and import duties/taxes and other details like for delivery. I hope that this helps. Good luck with your venture. Monique

Does lifting weights for half an hour a day stunt growth in height?

No. It's an urban legend that weight lifting stunts ones' growth. Dumbells wil certainly not do anything to affect your growth.

Barring an injury, however, you can do whatever lifting you like and not hurt your growth.

What are the types of meditation and can you describe them?

I can begin with one type. It is called Vipassana, and involves watching the breath. You simply sit comfortably, perhaps with legs crossed, back straight, and you watch as the breath comes into your belly and leaves your belly. No alteration of the breathing is needed. Eyes closed or half-open. If your awareness leaves your breath (as it almost certainly will!), simply notice, "ah, I am not watching my breath," and bring your attention back to your breath. Begin with five or ten minutes a day, in the morning or around sunset. Increase the time as you feel stronger.
