| “We are delighted to be co-sponsoring Yoga and Meditation for Health, Healing and Beyond. As a longtime student of yoga, a physician who recommends yoga regularly to patients, and a teacher who discusses the physical, emotional, and mental benefits of yoga, it is a pleasure to help bring the world-renowned yoga educator and therapist Menaka Desikachar to Arizona,” says Victoria Maizes, MD, executive director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. |
| “Mindfulness is the core of the Miraval philosophy and in everything we do, we encourage others to live in the moment and be conscious of the unique intersection of mind, body, and spirit. Yoga can be seen as mindfulness in motion and can help to support people through their healing process and personal transformations. We are honored to be part of Menaka Desikachar’s workshop as she brings her inspired teaching of yoga and meditation to Tucson” says Michael Tompkins, president and general manager of Miraval Arizona. |
