New yoga studio is a place to find peace in Troy
Posted: December 30, 2012 at 6:47 pm
With a stressful job as a mental health therapist, Marty Lintvedt was looking for a peaceful environment where she could renew her mind, body and spirit.
And she says that's what she found by taking yoga classes at Zen Mind Body Studio, which opened about six months ago.
I work with a lot of difficult circumstances, Lintvedt said. (Yoga) gives you a chance to take a breath and stay healthy. This is a good place to step away from all that and not think.
With soft lighting, calming music and pleasant aromas wafting through the air, Zen Mind Body Studioin Troyis a welcoming place for people looking for the benefits of yoga, an ancient system of physical exercises designed to alleviate health problems and reduce stress.
While some like Lintvedt are looking to de-stress through breathing and relaxation exercises, others like Gary Hughey are looking for the physical advantages of yoga. Hughey, a retired Marine, said taking yoga two times a week at the studio helps him improve his flexibility, balance and agility.
I was looking for something low impact, said the 65-year-old grandfather. I used to run but that's not so good for me anymore. This helps me move around better. I can bend over now without putting a crick in my back.
Zen Mind Body Studio is located at 103 E. Market St. in Downtown Troy. It is owned by Michelle Malter, who also owns the business next door, Zen, which provides massages, facials, manicures and pedicures. Malter, a massage therapist, said opening the yoga studio next door seemed like a natural extension.
We takes care of the body, said Malter of her massage therapy business. And next door, the mind and body work hand-in-hand.
Zen Mind Body Studio offers 45 classes a month, said business manager Mel Bauer. Those classes include power yoga, hot yoga, vinyasa (flow) yoga, zen yoga, restorative yoga and even candlelit yoga. At a session last week, about a dozen students performed breathing and relaxation techniques before getting into sometimes-challenging positions.
Yoga instructors Matthew Allison and Kim Smith were on hand to provide individual help. They gently guided students as they extended their limbs or twisted their torsos to perform myriad yoga poses such as the downward dog or the baby cobra.

How to create a proven and repeatable sales process so ALL
Posted: at 9:46 am
It seems to be a giant mystery why some can sell well and some cannot. Many say that the star salespeople are born that way. Others say it is knowing all the right sales techniques. We have a better answer, creating a best of breed company-wide selling process. Simply put, poor salespeople use poor sales processes. Excellent salespeople use excellent sales processes. A SalesMap© is our proprietary 9-step process that produces a standardized, repeatable selling process that works. Our experience has shown that you can improve your sales organization and sales performance more by creating a SalesMap than by all the sales training in the world. Sales training is much more contingent upon the sales ability of the individual than a good sales process. We strongly encourage you to improve sales performance via process rather than traditional sales training.

Eckhart Tolle on How to Find God (VIDEO)
Posted: December 29, 2012 at 11:06 pm
Looking for God? According to spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, your search may be over. God, he says, is really "the power of life itself."
In this clip from a recent episode of "Super Soul Sunday," Eckhart tells Oprah Winfrey that believing in your personal concept of God is no substitute for the reality of God. "When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises," he says. "You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without."
To feel that presence, Eckhart advises that you try a simple exercise that he devised to help you quiet your mind. Hold your hands out in front of you. One hand symbolizes the past, the other the future. Focus on the space between your hands. That is the present. "It can be a little reminder to help you behold that sense of presence," he says. "The only thing you ever have is now."
"Super Soul Sunday" airs Sundays at 11 a.m. ET on OWN.

Posted: at 9:42 am
VAIL, Colo., Dec. 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vail Living Well(TM), the Vail, Colo.-based organization founded by John and Jamie Stone to continue the evolution of Vail as a destination for health and well-being, will be presenting its inaugural Vail Living Well Experience(TM) (VLWE) in conjunction with the Sonnenalp Hotel Feb. 6-9, 2013. The February VLWE, called "Stressing Gracefully: The Science and the Art," focuses on how to manage positive and negative stress to live a healthier life.
Renowned health psychologist and researcher Eli Puterman, Ph.D. will lead daily discussions and activities throughout the retreat, which will focus on identifying and managing stress in order to live a more healthy life. In addition, attendees will ski with Olympian Cindy Nelson, practice yoga with international instructor Katie Brauer and snowshoe with world champion adventure racer Mike Kloser. Programming will take place at the Sonnenalp Hotel, based in Vail Village.
"Everyone has stress in their life. Some stress is good for us, but how you manage stress is what determines its effect on your overall health and well-being," says Jamie Stone, president of Vail Living Well(TM). "We worked with Eli last September and knew his open and inviting presentation would be perfect for our first Living Well Experience. The intent is to give attendees an opportunity to understand their own stress and learn how to manage it in order to live better."
Puterman explains that it's crucial for people to understand the science of stress in order to learn the art of managing it. If stress is unmanaged, it can have a negative long-term effect on health and well-being, even increasing risk for disease. There are also distinct differences in the manner and type of stress each gender experiences. Puterman will address these and many more topics throughout the course of the retreat.
Each day of "Stressing Gracefully" will incorporate two interactive sessions: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Puterman will introduce a premise and then allow attendees' questions to flow into a free form conversation about various stress-related topics. In the middle of the day, attendees will participate in activities with Nelson, Brauer or Kloser, armed with tips and suggestions to learn how to live in the moment rather than ruminating on the stresses of life.
For more information or to reserve a spot and book lodging for the Feb. 2013 Vail Living Well Experience(TM), contact Patricia McNamara at 970-479-5434 or email pmcnamara@sonnenalp.com .
