Tuesday, 28 February 2012If you are practicing yoga but feel that there could be even more benefits to all the time you are spending on your mat, now you can take part of the Urban Zen Integrative Therapy program. YogaWorks is excited to offer the Urban Zen Integrative Therapy Program (UZIT) as part of its comprehensive suite of continuing education programs staring at the beginning of March.
This level 1 pro gram is an interactive training that focuses on UZIT techniques essential to self care and family care, focusing on five healing modalities, which include yoga, essential oil therapy, Reiki, nutrition and contemplative care. It provides the foundation, and is a prerequisite, for the professional UZIT Program (level 2).
UZIT instructor Tracy Griffiths, of Los Angeles California, who teaches the essential oils therapy component of the program says, "Urban Zen is so exciting to be a part of! For the last three years I have been regularly traveling to New York City to teach world class health care professionals. Teaching ancient healing techniques to western doctors and nurses has been remarkable. We are truly bridging eastern and western medicine. And now offering this to the public, here in southern California is as dream come true."
UCLA is the first medical system on the West Coast to adopt Urban Zen Integrative Therapy, a program that delivers yoga therapy, mindfulness meditation, nutrition, Reiki and aromatherapy to the bedside of interested patients. These Eastern approaches, offered in conjunction with traditional Western therapies, are designed to address discomfort due to pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia and constipation. The program is being implemented at UCLA in partnership with the Urban Zen Foundation, which is providing extensive training in the techniques to members of the hospital staff.
Urban Zen was founded by world-renowned fashion designer Donna Karan based on her experience when her husband was dying of lung cancer in 2001. Distressed that the hospital in New York where he was being treated offered little to ease her husband's pain and anxiety.

Wednesday, 22 February 2012The Camp, a unique residential drug and alcohol treatment center located on 25 peaceful acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, recognizes the value of holistic therapies that complement standard addiction treatment. By addressing the needs of the body, mind and spirit, holistic therapies show clients how to control their feelings without drugs.
The newest of The Camp's holis tic tools is HeartMath's emWave2® Personal Stress Reliever (PSR), an advanced handheld biofeedback monitor that measures subtle changes in heart rhythms. This measurement reflects heart-brain interactions caused by changes in an individual's emotional state. Using HeartMath's monitor to recognize irregular heart-rhythm patterns that signal stressful emotional states, patients at The Camp learn how to calm themselves naturally, creating a feeling of calm and balance that is more conducive to recovery.
The Camp introduced HeartMath into their adult program in July of 2011. The Camp is now proud to announce that it is integrating HeartMath into the teen program. Staff members have reported the following benefits of HeartMath:
- Provides a treatment tool to cope with anxiety, insomnia, grief, anger and other negative or intrusive thoughts.
- Helps staff respond to crisis interventions and agitated detox patients.
- Helps client’s self-sooth and cope with cravings.
- Provides a diversion from routine group topics and formats. Gives clients a chance to play, feel good and succeed.
- Supports more rapid development of meditation skills by providing immediate feedback on attempted techniques.
According to staff member Cynthia Smith, "I have been startled by how successful HeartMath has been in our population. I thought it would be helpful, but I frequently have trauma patients tell me it is the first time their mind has been quiet in years. It has given patients at risk for leaving “against medical advice” (AMA) a chance to think and recommit. I see them move from being explosive and disruptive to being able to communicate and evaluate in 40 minutes. Restless detoxers frequently settle down during HeartMath. Laughter is common during HeartMath sessions. A sense of peaceful and playful fellowship is apparent as the group leaves my cabin after a HeartMath session and heads back into the community.”
Patients at The Camp who have been introduced to HeartMath have provided positive testimonials. A patient suffering from anxiety who was abusing Xanax reports, "I keep using the portable HeartMath device; I just grab it when I feel anxious like I used to grab the pill bottle. I don't think I would have gotten through everything these last few months without it."
The Institute of HeartMath (IMH) is a non-profit education and research organization that has been helping people reduce stress, regulate emotions and build resilience for happier, healthier lives since 1991. HeartMath has produced peer reviewed clinical data on the benefits of their methodologies for the treatment and management of anxiety, depression, anger, stress and hypertension.
The Camp Recovery Center offers clients the use of several types of alternative therapies as a complement to conventional addiction treatment. In addition to HeartMath, these include yoga, acupuncture, amino acid therapy, personal training, gardening, art, poetry, and journaling. Clients at The Camp are encouraged to explore a wide range of conventional and holistic therapies and to find the tools that will help with the process of physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
