He will teach breath techniques with gentle movement and meditation to reduce stress and improve energy, sleep quality, stress resilience, and peace of mind. His work is a unique fusion of ancient and modern mind-body techniques derived from Qigong, yoga, Christian monks, Coherent Breathing, Open Focus meditation, and martial arts. The benefits have been demonstrated with survivors of mass disasters and in 9/11 First Responders.

Dr. Brown’s workshop is sponsored by Serving Those Who Serve, a non-profit all-volunteer organization dedicated to the health and well-being of those who served at Ground Zero, their families, and area residents. “Thousands of participants in these workshops have found relief from stress, anxiety and depression, as well as help in grieving” comments Dr. Brown.

“Since 2007, Dr. Brown has been teaching this course with great success and benefits for members of the 9/11 community,” comments STWS Executive Director Jose Mestre. “Most people report they would never have imagined something so simple could be so transformative and helpful."

A course fee of $75 is offered for the 9/11 Community, $25 for spouses, partners, and other adult family members and significant others. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to assist STWS to continue to offer holistic care programs for the 9/11 World Trade Center Community. Registration is at the stws.org web site. For more information call Nehemiah Bar-Yehuda at (212)531-3376 and Nehemiahby at gmail.com, or Marshall Stackman at (212)600-1992 and saulmss at rcn.com.

Dr. Brown is Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University in New York. A certified teacher of Aikido (4th Dan), Yoga, Qi Gong, and meditation, Dr. Brown developed a neurophysiological theory on the effects of yoga breath on the mind and body, particularly its benefits for stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. His healing techniques have proven effective for disaster relief for healthcare workers and survivors of the World Trade Center, Haiti, the Gulf Oil Spill in Mississippi, the southeast tsunami, Rwanda, and the Sudan. He maintains a practice in New York City.

Dr. Brown and Dr. Gerbarg co-authored with Dr. Philip Muskin the award-winning book How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care (WW Norton). Their new books The Healing Power of the Breath (Shambala) and Non-Drug Treatments for ADHD (WW Norton) are scheduled for release in 2012. They offer integrative mental health information on their web site HaveAHealthyMind.com.
