Dahn Yoga Community Announces the Woodland Body + Brain Center as its Center of the Month

Center of the Month: Woodlands Body & Brain Center

Gilbert, Ariz. (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a national leader in health and wellness, is proud to announce that one of its franchises, a Texas yoga star, the Woodlands Body + Brain Center has been designated as Center of the Month for January 2012. The franchises have grown tremendously since their beginning and this studio, located 35 miles north of Houston, Texas, has been particularly adept at forging its own path of service and leadership.

Helping individuals balance their bodies and minds, center manager Maureen Godfrey may have been destined to fill the role of leader of her Dahn Yoga community. Although she spent time working as a high school dance teacher and a consultant for a Fortune 500 company, she eventually realized her life-long dream of helping others. After immersing herself in Dahn Yoga classes for four years, she opened her own BBC franchise.

“I feel very blessed with wonderful members who are very interesting people and the opportunity for me to grow through this BBC,” she said. “Any challenges bring opportunities.”

Godfrey’s gift with her students is undoubtedly a special one. In fact, one member, who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, approached Maureen for private lessons in order to improve her well-being and augment her medical treatments. Within four short months the novice practitioner witnessed an elevation in her physical and emotional states as well as the shrinking of her tumors. This may not be a typical story of health recovery at Woodlands, but it is a prime example of how people of various backgrounds and ability levels find an outlet for self-healing.

Going forward, Maureen explains that she wants to continue to help others understand the many Dahn Yoga benefits and expand her classes to hospitals and colleges in the area.

About Dahn Yoga:

In the United States, Dahn Yoga classes are offered at Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a national leader in health and wellness. Dahn Yoga classes are also offered at Body & Brain franchise, affiliate and community-based locations.

BodyBuildingFactory.com Offers Latest Brain Supplement – Brain Supreme

Englewood, CO (PRWEB) October 16, 2007

Brain Supreme, the newest innovation in the area of cognitive and memory enhancement nutritional supplements, is now available at BodyBuildingFactory.com – a leading online retailer of body building and performance nutritional supplements.

Each serving of Brain Supreme contains 25mcg of Huperzine combined with a proprietary blend of other natural substances that include Ginkgo Biloba extract, and Phosphatidyl Serine. This unique mix of ingredients works synergistically to deliver elevated cognitive and memory performance, and helps protect neuronal tissue while improving cerebral blood flow.

Huperzine, a key compound in Brain Supreme, has been relied on by Eastern civilizations for centuries as a broadly useful herbal health aid. It was only recently discovered, however, that this rare moss extract has the ability to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine – a chemical in the brain that plays a critical role in cognitive clarity and memory function.

Chad M. Levine, President of Athletic Ventures, Inc., the corporation which operates BodyBuildingFactory.com, stated, “…the key ingredients in Brain Supreme are well researched with respect to safety and efficacy — not surprisingly, customer feedback on this product has been very positive.”

Levine went on to add that, “…while customers are reporting favorable results from taking Brain Supreme, it is not for everyone…the product contains Ginkgo Biloba extract which, while NOT known to be toxic even at extremely high dosages, should not be taken by children, pregnant women or individuals taking blood thinning or cholinergic medication, without physician supervision.”

Seniors Housing Communities Embrace Brain Fitness Centers

Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 8, 2008

The American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA) is releasing today a Special Issue Brief that describes the use of computerized brain fitness tools being offered to seniors housing residents as part of comprehensive wellness initiatives. The Brief was prepared for ASHA by Alvaro Fernandez, co-founder and CEO of SharpBrains, a recognized thought leader in the growing science-based brain fitness market.    

The 15-page report, entitled ”Brain Fitness Centers in Senior Housing: A Field in the Making,” provides an overview of the brain fitness field with four case studies that shed light on the use of brain fitness centers in seniors housing communities, including those operated by Senior Star Living of Tulsa, OK, Belmont Village Senior Living of Houston, TX, and Erickson Retirement Communities of Catonsville, MD.

In releasing the Special Issue Brief, David Schless, ASHA’s President, noted, “This report truly underscores how cutting-edge technology and science are being used to enhance the lives of seniors. It is particularly exciting to contemplate the enormous potential impact that computerized cognitive assessments and training can have for seniors housing residents.” According to the author, Alvaro Fernandez, “This is the very first publication in the field of brain fitness to address specific considerations related to seniors housing, expanding on our general market report released earlier this year. It is very conceivable that the early and enthusiastic adaptation of cognitive fitness, supported by the solid measurement of outcomes reported in the Brief, will help to transform the way in which the general population perceives seniors housing.”    

A limited number of copies of the Special Issue Brief are available for purchase at ASHA’s online bookstore at http://www.seniorshousing.org and at http://www.sharpbrains.com .

The American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA) was created in 1991 by a number of leading seniors housing providers seeking an effective voice on Capitol Hill. Today, ASHA’s membership has grown to 350 companies that develop, operate, and finance the entire spectrum of seniors housing. ASHA’s membership owns and/or manages more than 600,000 units of senior apartments, independent living, assisted living, and continuing care retirement communities. Over the years, ASHA’s members have come to rely on the Association for its expertise in three key areas – federal advocacy; seniors housing research; and networking and exchange of strategic business information. For more information, visit http://www.seniorshousing.org or call (202) 237-0900.

SharpBrains is a market research and advisory services firm devoted to helping retirement communities, health providers, investors, universities and policymakers understand and participate in the emerging brain fitness field through a variety of market intelligence products and services. In March 2008, the firm published the first market report covering the category, titled ”The State of the Brain Fitness Software Market 2008.” SharpBrains.com, the firm’s educational website, is an acclaimed source of brain research and cognitive fitness information and resources. The site is a member of Scientific American Partner Network. For more information, visit http://www.sharpbrains.com or call (415) 318-3467.
