Albany, CA, August 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Richard P. Brown, MD, and Patricia Gerbarg, MD, award-winning authors and leaders in integrative psychiatry, will teach their ground-breaking Breath~Body~Mind Workshop live online Saturday, August 16, from 9 am to 5 pm ET, and Sunday, August 17, from 9 am to 4 pm ET. The event will be broadcast from Fellowships of the Spirit in Cassadaga, NY, for the general public, health professionals, caregivers, and yoga teachers. The public may also attend on site.

“People inquire about our Breath~Body~Mind workshops because they want to enhance their physical and mental well-being. They are interested in techniques they can use in their daily work to help others. Because we are engaged in active clinical practice, research, and teaching, we are not able to give workshops often. We are especially excited to have an opportunity to offer our workshop online so anyone can join us from the comfort of their own home,” comments Dr. Gerbarg. The course includes instruction and demonstration of techniques as well as paired and group exercises. On-line participants will be able to ask questions.

Based on extensive research and practice, Drs. Brown and Gerbarg combine the most rapidly effective breathing techniques to improve mood, mental focus, heart and lung function, endurance, and stress relief. The benefits have been enjoyed by health care practitioners, Buddhist monks and nuns, yoga teachers, military veterans, first responders, individuals with psychiatric (anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD) and medical conditions (cancer, lung problems, toxic exposures), and victims of abuse, terrorism, war, and natural disasters. Many people who have worked with Drs. Brown and Gerbarg say they have been transformed, and that they never would have imagined something so simple would have been so powerful and helpful.
