We offer an integrative healing approach - The Chopra Center

Dear Friend, 

Thank you for visiting. More than a decade ago we created The Chopra Center for 

Wellbeing as a place where people could come to heal their physical body, find 

emotional freedom and connect to their essential self and life’s purpose 

(Dharma). As we have grown and increased our outreach, we have 

remained committed to our core mission, serving as an oasis of balance, 

healing and transformation. 

As the popularity of natural healing practices and mind-body medicine 

has increased, The Chopra Center continues to serve as the global source for 

learning yoga, meditation and Ayurveda. Every year thousands attend our wide range 

of programs, workshops and retreats, which include mind-body immersions, emotional 

release intensives and our week-long Panchakarma detoxification program. In 

2009 we want to touch as many hearts and souls as possible, so we will be 

bringing diverse and powerful programs to London, Florida, Chicago, Canada, 

Sedona, Colorado and Portland, Oregon. 

Our Instructor Certification programs are also expanding as more 

and more like-minded people desire to share the healing gifts of 

meditation, yoga and Ayurveda with their communities. With our 

network of Chopra Center Certified Instructors on six continents, 

thousands are learning how to bring physical balance, peace of 

mind and higher states of consciousness into their life. 

Whether you are taking your first steps on the path to wellness or find 

yourself in crisis, we invite you to learn, share and heal with us as we transform the world 

by transforming ourselves. We hope to see you soon. 

Love, 

Deepak Chopra, M.D.

the healing power of ayurveda 

the five thousand year-old healing system of India. 

Ayurveda – the science of life – is founded on the principle that health is 

more than the absence of disease. Rather, health is a dynamic, integrated 

state of balance in body, mind and spirit. To achieve this balance, Ayurveda 

encourages us to be conscious choice makers, for our experiences become 

our biology. Learning to minimize toxic input and maximize nourishing 

experiences in our minds and bodies enhances our ability to create health 

and happiness in our lives and in those around us. 

Discover physical wellness. 

The Perfect Health Program 

Journey into Healing 

Wisdom of Healing 

physical wellness 

Everything that we ingest through our five senses influences our 

physiology. What we hear, how we are touched, what we see, what we taste 

and what we smell can reinforce or disrupt our healthy balance. Ayurveda 

encourages each of us to seek experiences that are harmonizing to our 

senses in support of optimal emotional and physical wellbeing. 

Understanding both our unique and shared qualities enables us to 

free ourselves from life-damaging behaviors and consciously engage in 

life-supporting ones.

primordial sound meditation 

is rooted in India’s ancient yogic tradition. 

It is a powerful practice for moving beyond the mind’s 

constant stream of thoughts into the stillness of pure 

awareness. As you meditate, you let go of stress and enter 

a state of deep restful awareness. A regular meditation 

practice allows the sense of inner tranquility and grounded 

wellbeing to be infused in your daily life beyond your 

meditation practice, helping you become the calm amidst 

the chaos. 

When you learn Primordial Sound Meditation, you will 

receive a personal mantra, based on the time and place of 

your birth. A mantra is a specific sound or vibration, which 

when repeated silently, helps you enter deeper and deeper 

levels of awareness. A Sanskrit term meaning “vehicle of 

the mind,” a mantra is a tool that transports you to a state 

of blissfulness and profound peace. 

Every Chopra Center event includes instruction and practice 

in Primordial Sound Meditation.

primordial sound meditation 

Instructor Certification 

Primordial Sound Meditation is a 

powerful practice for bringing peace of mind 

into your life and experiencing spiritual 

awakening. It derives from the yogic 

tradition of India, which focuses on 

achieving a blissful union of mind, body and 

spirit. A regular meditation practice helps us 

go beyond the inner turbulence of the mind 

into the pure silence of unbounded 

awareness. Many studies have shown that 

meditation is good for lowering blood 

pressure, quieting the mind, releasing stress 

and strengthening the immune system. 

Deepak Chopra and David Simon have 

revived the ancient practice of 

Primordial Sound Meditation and 

made it available in a format that everyone 

can easily learn. The essential timeless 

teachings have been maintained in their 

pure, original form, ensuring the most 

beneficial experience. 

Another wonderful aspect of meditation is 

that when you teach people how to do it, 

the benefits of your own personal practice 

are magnified many times over. 

Our Primordial Sound Meditation 

Instructor certification program continues to 

grow as individuals from all around the globe 

fall in love with meditation and its healing 

effects and want to share this valuable 

healing practice with people in their 

community. This program is a seven-day

We were chosen as the 

world’s best wellness 

retreat by the readers of 

Spa Magazine. 

The Chopra Center is one of the only spas in 

the United States offering authentic Ayurvedic 

treatments rooted in India’s 5000 year-old 

healing tradition. Our massage therapists, known 

as Healing Arts Masters, use pure essential oils, 

natural herbs and aromatherapy to take you to a 

state of deep relaxation. 

In the Ayurvedic healing system, massage 

therapy is a core ingredient for vibrant health 

and wellbeing. Ayurvedic massage eliminates 

the toxins that get stored in the bodily tissues, 

restoring balance and allowing the rejuvenating 

energies to flow freely. 

We offer an array of signature Ayurvedic spa 

treatments, including the classic full-body 

Abhyanga oil massage, Marma point energetic 

healing, Gandharva crystal bowl sound 

therapy, cleansing herbal wraps, luxurious 

two-therapist treatments and the profoundly 

relaxing Shirodhara, in which a stream of warm 

oil is poured over the forehead’s key energetic 

points, calming the central nervous system and 

integrating the mind and body.
