April 13, 2006 (Press Release) --
Phoenix, Ariz. – Often thought of as an ancient practice for monks and spiritual renunciates, meditation has made its way into mainstream America as a result of its many benefits. No longer confined to the realm of spirit, meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, enhance healing, and improve concentration along with a host of other benefits. As a result, more and more healthcare professionals are prescribing meditation as a complement to traditional treatments and therapies. Additionally, recent research suggests meditation helps individuals in other ways as well including improved productivity, happiness, and quality of life.
”Most people are aware that meditation is central to all great spiritual traditions, but what’s not commonly understood is the profound difference this simple practice can have on our everyday life.” states Eric Walrabenstein, meditation coach and director of the Yoga Pura studio in Phoenix, Ariz. “The good news is that we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of students who come to the studio based on their doctor’s advice to try meditation or yoga, and are surprised at how quickly they see results” he continues.
The studio recently kicked off a 6-week meditation series to sellout success. “It’s encouraging to have so many recognizing the benefits of a meditation practice” notes Walrabenstein, citing the 55-person crowd enrolled in the current course. The studio plans to follow up with a Yoga Nidra series . Yoga Nidra is a meditation and deep relaxation technique that treats the very source of modern-day stresses and tensions. Another 6-week meditation course will follow this summer.
Yoga Pura is one of the Valley’s most dynamic studios and offers Arizona’s first 500-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher training program. With more than 40 classes per week, the studio serves all levels of students while preserving the authenticity and potency of the practice. The studio offers massage therapy services and gifts, books, music and clothing in its boutique. 15440 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85022. Phone: 602.843-PURA. www.yogapura.com
