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.

Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a leader in health and wellness, has named the Durango Dahn Yoga location as its Center of the Month for July 2011. The studio, located just 20 minutes from Las Vegas, Nevada, offers practitioners a welcoming environment to enjoy the many benefits of Dahn Yoga classes.

Sungchul Jang, manager of the Durango Center, has been sharing the rewards of Dahn Yoga as an instructor for four years. He says that the hardworking nature of the members within this Dahn Yoga community, most of whom are employed by casinos and maintain weekend schedules, have made them perfect candidates for the exercise. “Because my classes are hard, one of the members even burst out asking if it was some Olympic event. However, their bodies change through the practice, so they naturally come to enjoy it and their hearts open up.”

The Durango Dahn Yoga Center, which is set in an area replete with fresh air and healthy energy, offers practitioners a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the entertainment capital of the world. Those who decide to take the Dahn Yoga classes at this studio are able to restore their physical and spiritual states and improve their overall well-being.

BodyWeightCulture.com, a Community Devoted to Bodyweight Exercises, Celebrates its One Year Anniversary

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 16, 2007

BodyWeightCulture.com, a unique community formed by a group of fitness, health and nutrition experts, celebrates its one year anniversary. The site allows individuals to share bodyweight resistance routines and exercises with one another. Membership at BodyWeightCulture.com recently increased to more than 10,000 fitness devotees.

“There’s a revolution happening in the world of fitness and it’s happening fast. The trend of bodyweight exercises has exploded in the last few years, engulfing millions of people worldwide,” says Celcius Meas, a fitness expert of BodyWeightCulture.com. “The fashion of the day is to forgo gyms, fancy equipment and exercise tapes. Bodyweight exercises are here to stay.”

BodyWeightCulture.com is designed for fitness intelligence exchange and provides a platform where individuals can share advice and information on thousands of bodyweight exercises. Members can publish their own bodyweight exercises, success stories and do’s and don’ts for the community to utilize. Experts also share tried and tested methods of bodyweight resistance exercises free of charge. Everything on the site is straightforward, and all exercises are demonstrated and explained.

The idea of bodyweight exercise is to exercise lifting your bodyweight. Most people are familiar with pull-ups, sit-ups and pushups, but these are just the foundation of bodyweight exercises. Weight loss, muscle gain and perfect body proportions can be achieved quickly and securely with BodyWeightCulture.com’s free fitness programs.

“Most people have had experience with pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups and are convinced this is what bodyweight is all about. Most have probably had very limited results from this form of workout because they simply do not know how to properly exercise and lack the guidance and scientific knowledge involved in a proper bodyweight workout,” says Vlad, a BodyWeightCulture.com fitness expert. “Looking at our members, it seems everyone is a model. However, most of our members are regular folks who utilize their bodyweight by following programs outlined on the site, and gain excellent results.”

The community offers programs to satisfy anyone looking to get into better shape — beginners and experienced levels, alike. All exercises presented on BodyWeightCulture.com are performed with only the body’s own resistance; no equipment is necessary.

“When someone says to me that bodyweight exercises are not effective, I always have one response — look at gymnasts and famous athletes, all they do is use their bodyweight to gain six packs, muscular bodies and immense strength,” says Tom, a BodyWeightCulture.com expert adviser. “However, unlike gymnastics, BodyWeightCulture.com’s training programs are for everyone. There are many different levels, ranging from beginner to pro.”

BodyWeightCulture.com provides a whole community of people waiting to support one another and moderators that work hard to make sure every member gets the full benefits of the program. In a nutshell, BodyWeightCulture.com is the haven that both health seekers and fitness fanatics have waited for.
