Dahn Yoga Center of the Month: Brooklyn Heights

Gilbert, Arizona (PRWEB) May 18, 2012

Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a national leader in health and wellness, is proud to highlight the accomplishments of its Brooklyn Heights, New York, Dahn Yoga studio. Located in one of the most diverse boroughs of the Empire State, the center features a number of creative, high-energy participants.

 

Center manager, Amy Long decided to become a Dahn Yoga master after attending a Young Earth Human Alliance (YEHA) camp. She finds the atmosphere of the center refreshingly different from her career trajectory, having worked as a public school teacher and having attended Harvard Divinity School. Besides the joy of being an instructor, she likes how “Brooklyn Heights center members are very diverse and really supportive of each other.” She feels Dahn Yoga classes are a good fit locally because “people in this community are looking for a way to meditate, a way to reach greater heights of experience,” she says.

Amy also explains how impressed she is with the dedication of her members, who provide unsolicited help with everyday activities, such as washing teacups, watering plants or feeding the studio’s pet turtle. In the end, she maintains that it’s their generosity that truly make the center outstanding and memorable.

 

Many members second that emotion. “The Brooklyn Heights center is a collective and supportive community,” said Rhonda Michelle, as she discusses the endless Dahn Yoga benefits she enjoys. “The instructors share limitless love and opportunities to be a part of something cosmic. To me, the Brooklyn Heights center is home.”

About Dahn Yoga:

Dahn Yoga is a dynamic mind-body practice originating in Korea. Dahn Yoga classes combine stretching, flowing movement, deep breathing exercises and meditation in a simple and easy to learn format. Dahn Yoga is often taught alongside Tai Chi, QiGong and Meditation classes.

In the United States, Dahn Yoga classes are offered at Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc., a national leader in health and wellness. Dahn Yoga classes are also offered at Body & Brain franchise, affiliate and community-based locations.

London (PRWEB UK) 11 May 2012

In 2011, Cosmedics Skin Clinics launched new “pain-free” laser hair removal treatments in its new clinic in the heart of Putney using the very latest Soprano laser hair removal technology for outstanding results in permanent hair reduction.

Now the pioneering company has added to its laser hair removal service with a revolutionary cream which promises to accelerate the results of laser hair removal and improve the overall finished result.

Vaniqa cream (etflornithine) 13.9% is a prescription only cream that can be used to speed up the hair removal process. It is the first and only FDA approved prescription cream clinically proven to reduce the growth of unwanted facial hair (UFH) in women and clinical studies have shown that it also improves the effectiveness of laser hair removal.

Like laser hair removal, Vaniqa works right at the source of the problem, in the hair follicle. However, it can be applied between laser hair removal treatments for faster and more thorough results. In fact, studies have shown after 6 months complete or almost complete hair removal was achieved in 94% of patients receiving laser plus VANIQA, compared to 68% for patients receiving laser without VANIQA.

Vaniqa can only be prescribed by doctors, so is not widely available at high street IPL salons. However, as a doctor owned and led clinic, the team at Cosmedics are able to prescribe Vaniqa alongside their pain free laser hair removal for optimum results.

Dr Ross Perry, Cosmedics Medical Director, said: “As the weather turns warmer, we have already seen an influx of enquiries for laser hair removal as our patients start to peel off winter layers and think about summer holidays”.

“Unfortunately many patients don’t realise that optimum results take time to build. We recommend a course of 6 treatments, spaced around 4 weeks apart, to tackle each follicle in its growth phase. So although some results will be evident after the first session, the finished effect will be a few months away.”

“However, for faster results, at Cosmedics Skin Clinics, our doctors can prescribe Vaniqa cream to accelerate and improve the overall result of laser hair treatment. For those seeking hair-free underarms, bikini areas or legs in time for the summer holidays, an accelerated approach is very appealing.”

“Pain-Free” laser hair removal with Vaniqa cream treatment is suitable for both women and men, offering the promise of permanent hair reduction to deal with unwanted facial or body hair.

Cosmedics Skin clinics was established in 2003 and remains a doctor owned and managed company. Many treatments are carried out by GMC Registered Doctors who have been specially trained in Dr Ross Perry’s own cosmetic and medical dermatology techniques. The company offer a full range of cosmetic treatments, including popular lip enhancement and wrinkle relaxing injections, dermal fillers, peels, sun damage treatment and dermaroller®; plus medical treatments including mole removal, thread vein treatment and excessive sweating injections.

The company has 5 clinics in London plus one in Bristol.

Call 020 7386 0464 or email info(at)cosmedics(dot)co(dot)uk for an appointment.

Mother’s Day is the third largest card giving holiday, with more than 130 million greeting cards exchanged each year. It’s also the second most popular gift giving holiday, coming in right after Christmas.

One of a kind cards are created with personal photos on Mother’s Day photo cards. Additionally, custom greeting cards can be created within 48 hours at no additional cost by requesting changes or a totally new design from their artist community of over 4,500 freelance artists from around the world.

SIDNEY, Neb. (PRWEB) May 04, 2012

Cabela’s Incorporated (NYSE: CAB), the World’s Foremost Outfitter® of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, announced today plans to bring the extraordinary Cabela’s retail experience to customers in the Green Bay, Wis., area.

Construction is scheduled to begin this fall and Cabela’s plans to open the store in the summer of 2013. It will be Cabela’s third store in Wisconsin, joining the Prairie du Chien and Richfield locations. The company also operates a distribution center in Prairie du Chien.

The approximately 100,000-square-foot store will be located in the Titletown Development area being developed in conjunction with the Green Bay Packers. The store will be located in the southeast quadrant of US Route 41 and Lombardi Avenue near Lambeau Field in the Village of Ashwaubenon in Brown County.

Cabela’s expects the store to employ approximately 175 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. Most will come from Green Bay and the neighboring area.

“Wisconsin is full of people who are passionate for the outdoors, people who share the Cabela’s lifestyle, and who are known for their loyalty and dedication to sports. It’s a wonderful area to expand our retail footprint,” said Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. “We’ve had great success with the Prairie du Chien and Richfield retail locations, and we expect a very bright future in Green Bay.”

The store will be built in Cabela’s next-generation layout, designed to surround customers in an outdoor-like experience with dynamic wildlife displays. In addition to thousands of quality outdoor products, the store will include a large mountain replica featuring North American game animals re-created in their natural habitat, a Gun Library, aquarium, Bargain Cave, Boat Shop and Deli.

The store also will feature a Sportsman’s Hall of Fame displaying Wisconsin trophy animal mounts, as well as a “view-through” design highlighted by large glass windows allowing customers to see the store’s interior as they approach both the front and back of the building.

“Cabela’s is going to be a wonderful addition to Ashwaubenon and the Green Bay area,” said Packers President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Murphy. “Outdoor enthusiasts from throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan will be making it a destination to visit, not only for their excellent products and apparel, but also for the outstanding experience the store offers.”

Cabela’s currently operates 36 retail stores across the United States and Canada and will open a location in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, on May 10. Cabela’s also has announced plans to open stores in Charleston, W.Va.; Rogers, Ark.; and Union Gap, Wash., later this year.

Watch the emotional “red alert” video from the Follow the Fifty kick-off event

Brooklyn, CT (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

Follow the Fifty: Models of Heart Health (FTF), the women’s heart health awareness and action campaign created by the Northeast District Department of Health (NDDH) in partnership with the HealthQuest Northeast Connecticut Coalition, has taken the Quiet Corner by storm. In less than a month, the campaign has the community “on red alert” thanks in large part to the contribution of campaign partners including those on the FTF video production team.

“There are so many cameras rolling and flashes popping at each event, models may feel as though they are part of a reality TV show,” quipped Linda J. Colangelo, FTF project manager and playwright for Broadway Live Productions, LLC, a performance production company that specializes in musicals and cabaret-style shows. Colangelo has used the concept of “infotainment” in the past with great success to promote public health messages. Broadway Live Christmas, a show she originally wrote in 2006, was brought back by demand and updated in 2009 to include messages about H1N1 Influenza, hand washing, respiratory etiquette, and getting a flu shot. The informational and wildly entertaining show became one of the best-selling musicals at The Bradley Playhouse in Putnam.

Knowing that the infotainment concept worked in Northeastern Connecticut, Colangelo employed the same strategy to develop the Follow the Fifty initiative. Originally intended to feature the 172 female participants in the Red Dress Divas Holiday Spectacular at the end of the initiative, the concept expanded to include a scripted feel for each of the events leading up to the November/December finale. The campaign began in February with a casting call for models. The March kick-off was a stunning display of energy, empowerment, and education. Each month is a new “act” with events sponsored by a different HealthQuest partner with the models “performing” every day on trails, at parks and in gyms throughout the Quiet Corner.

“It’s the models who are bringing the story of Follow the Fifty to life,” said Colangelo. “They’ve made it highly visual and emotionally-charged. Every day they are out there in their red t-shirts leading the way to inspire each other and the community to be heart healthy. They’re sharing their stories and supporting each other on our blog and telling the world about it via Facebook. We knew that capturing their journey on film would be an important component to share with a larger audience.”

One such story is in the way that the campaign proved to be another important “find” for one of the models. Dawna Sirard was born and raised in Connecticut by her adopted family. She answered the FTF casting call for models after learning that her biological mother died at the age of 54 from heart disease. Sirard, an accomplished independent filmmaker, immediately volunteered her talents to document the campaign in video.

“Heart disease took my biological mother before I had a chance to meet her,” said Sirard. “I’m doing this to stress the importance of being healthy and thus present in the lives of the people we love.”

One of the highlights at the recent FTF kick-off event was the debut of the launch video produced by Sirard and Colangelo, which featured dramatic and emotional vignettes of FTF models each telling their own personal stories. Campaign partner Westview Health Care Center provided space for Sirard to film the model interviews. Still footage was captured at Day Kimball Healthcare, a HealthQuest partner; and members of Putnam EMS Ambulance Service served as photography subjects.

As the campaign unfolds, Sirard will capture the progress of the models in videos that will be featured on the FTF website and the HealthQuest Northeast CT YouTube Channel. Sirard will also compile the footage into a short film that will document the models’ journey of heart health. It will be premiered at the Red Dress Divas Holiday Spectacular marking the finale for the grant initiative that has been funded by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.

Follow the Fifty is also collaborating with David T. Panteleakos, owner of Broadway Live Productions, who will serve as the director for the Red Dress Divas Holiday Spectacular that will take place at the HYDE Cultural Center on November 30th and December 1st. The holiday production is the latest collaboration between Panteleakos and Colangelo. The two have worked together for many years with Broadway Live production staff, skilled actors, and talented musical partners to generate over $ 500,000 in gross ticket sales with all net proceeds benefiting local and national charities.

“I am truly honored to be working with so many talented individuals on this worthwhile and meaningful public health endeavor,” said Panteleakos, who is also CEO of Westview Health Care Center, in Dayville, CT. “The interest and energy surrounding this campaign are amazing; we can’t wait to bring all of it to the stage.”

Panteleakos also heads up the Broadway Live video team that is producing vignettes featuring “Ruby,” a red dress introduced at the kick-off that will be brought to life by actress Alison Stewart. “Ruby represents every woman out there living her life, juggling all her roles and responsibilities and will serve as a visual reminder that we need to keep our heart health first in everything we do and everywhere we go,” said Colangelo.

James Doran Kellaway rounds out the Broadway Live Productions video team. Kellaway, who is credited with naming the “Ruby” character, graduated from Hobart College with a degree in Studio Art. While he has found many canvases for his work, Kellaway developed a genuine love for the canvas of film. “The development of the Ruby character is something we are having a lot of fun with and it’s clear that the models are already emotionally connecting to her,” said Kellaway. “It’s a tremendous project and I’m so grateful to be included in this creative collaboration. I have always tried to be a leader, but in this case, I jumped at the chance to Follow the Fifty.”

All video content created and produced on behalf of Follow the Fifty campaign will be posted to the HealthQuest channel on YouTube as well as the FTF website. For more information, contact NDDH at 860-774-7350 or email contactus(at)followthefifty(dot)org.

About Follow the Fifty: Models of Heart Health

Follow the Fifty is sponsored by a grant from the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health as part of a public-private partnership with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to promote The Heart Truth®, a women’s heart health awareness and action campaign. Funding is provided by individuals and corporations including The Heart Truth partners Belk Department Stores, Diet Coke, and Swarovski.

About HealthQuest Northeast Connecticut

HealthQuest Northeast CT is a national Action Community for Health, Innovation and Environmental Change (ACHIEVE) and a collaborative health partnership of: The Northeast District Department of Health, Day Kimball Healthcare, Generations Family Health Center, Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, Plainfield Public Schools, Plainfield Recreation Department, Quinebaug Valley Community College, Representative Mae Flexer, Senator Donald Williams, Steven Townsend, Thompson Ecumenical Empowerment Group, Town of Putnam Community Development and WINY Radio. The coalition works to improve the health of residents through policy change, with a focus on reducing chronic illness by increasing physical activity and improving access to better nutrition in Northeastern Connecticut schools, worksites, communities and homes.

About The Heart Truth®

Although significant progress has been made in increasing awareness among women that heart disease is their number one killer (from 34 percent in 2000 to 69 percent in 2009), most fail to make the connection between its risk factors and their personal risk of developing heart disease. The Heart Truth® created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 to deliver an urgent wake-up call to American women. The Red Dress® reminds women of the need to protect their heart health, and inspires them to take action. For more information about women and heart disease, including materials such as The Healthy Heart Handbook for Women and fact sheets about women and heart disease, please visit http://www.hearttruth.gov or call the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Health Information Center at 301-592-8573.

In the short period of time that live chat has been integrated, we have communicated with many people, especially clients in Europe who are visiting New York and need assistance with booking the specific type of vehicle they want.”

In addition to the new live chat feature, AAMCAR will deliver rentals to hotels located anywhere in Manhattan, and they will deliver to area airports for a minimal charge.

About AAMCAR

For over 25 years, AAMCAR has identified with the needs of the average New Yorker. AAMCAR’s owner realized that buying new cars is a better business model because newer vehicles are more attractive to a potential renter and is a better investment. AAMCAR gradually added Minivans and SUVs to its fleet, including five passenger sports utility vehicles and sports cars like the Ford Mustang to meet the demands of renters who come from Europe and all over the world to visit NYC. AAMCAR’s staff provides excellent customer service and AAMCAR does not overbook its vehicles. AAMCAR also provides prices that are lower than the other NYC rental companies.
