"So many have been hard hit by the financial crisis and are struggling to make the best of the situation while coping with feelings of anger, fear, frustration, and loss," said Chopra Center co-founder and best-selling author, Dr. David Simon.

"Each week at the Chopra Center, we teach guests how to meditate, practice yoga, and use other ancient healing techniques. It's such a relief and a gift to discover that we don't have to be at the mercy of the world's ups and downs and events beyond our control . . . that there are simple but powerful tools that can help us experience a state of calm, centered awareness -- no matter what kind of confusion and turmoil is spinning out in the exterior world."

One of The Chopra Center's most popular programs is the weekly Perfect Health program designed by Deepak Chopra and David Simon. Perfect Health is the only wellness program in the world that combines a renowned medical staff, a six-day detoxification and cleansing process (known as Panchakarma), and daily foundational teachings in meditation, yoga, and Ayurveda (India's 5,000-year-old healing system).
