CALMING KIDS:
Creating a Non-Violent World

is a NON-PROFIT Organization, and we train educational professionals and health care providers to teach children a curriculum designed to decrease violence and increase concentration; utilizing breathing techniques, yoga poses, stress management, and conflict resolution strategies, thus resulting in Bullying Prevention.

AHIMSA is a Sanskrit term meaning to do no harm (literally: the avoidance of violence - himsa). Ahimsa is a rule of conduct that bars the killing or injuring of living beings. It is closely connected with the notion that all kinds of violence entail negative karmic consequences. Ahimsa condemns ritual sacrifice and violence, and moral codes emphasize the importance of not taking life.
