Dr. Dean Ornish made such an inspiring presentation at the Institute on June 7th, describing and documenting how a Yogic lifestyle can heal or even reverse the effects of chronic illness. He is able to give in striking detail the scientific facts that make evident that Yoga, meditation, diet and group support create dramatic health benefits.

He further showed how such lifestyle changes can be supported by enjoying the wellness benefits that arise quickly when his program is followed, instead of using fear of disease as motivation,

It was interesting to hear Dr Ornish share his own story and how Sri Swami Satchidananda influenced him personally and inspired his work. Dr Ornish made clear that the essential teachings of Sri Swamiji form the foundation for his groundbreaking research.

With Medicare now reimbursing for his program in sustainable ways, the teachings and practices that make up the Yogic lifestyle are being offered in a growing number of places. Clearly, Dr Ornish is on the forefront of a huge paradigm shift in western medical care, from a disease based, to a wellness based system.

Dr. Dean Ornish shares how stress management techniques can help you to focus and perform better in daily activities, and may even help you live longer.
