Yoga at the Chopra Center

by Roberta Murphy

Yoga classI have staked out early mornings as time for myself and dedicated it to yoga at the Chopra Center in Carlsbad.

No real estate clients, no family, no phones, no intrusions. That slice of time belongs to me. Six mornings a week, in the cool, quiet hours before dawn, I arise, shower and head down the hill to the La Costa Resort and Spa for an hour or so of yoga and meditation. It is more than the ritual; it is the place.

Behind La Costas gated entry is the healing and energizing haven that has become dear to my heart: The Chopra Center. Seven days a week, the center holds early morning yoga and meditiation classes that are also repeated as evening classes certain days of the week.

In addition to a menu of treatments, the center also dedicates about three weeks of each month to their Perfect Health program. Designed by Deepak Chopra MD and David Simon, MD, this weeklong program is keyed to individual needs and includes:

  • Primordial Sound Meditation
  • Daily yoga classes
  • Daily Group Meditation
  • Customized Ayurvedic massage treatments
  • Nutritional plans and guidance
  • Panchakarma Detox and cleansing therapies
  • Mind-Body medical consultation
  • To to rest, rejuvenate and be a friend to your Self.
  • Grounding, a more recent addition to their menu for health.

I have had the opportunity to meet a number of Perfect Health participants. Most said the experience was one of the most powerful ones of their lives. One dentist said it was the best thing he had ever done for himself. Another woman said it had saved her from an unwanted surgery.

Other participants here come for training and certification so that they, too, can guide others to a more perfect health.

All are well-loved programs!
