About OOB: The Chopra Center
You've probably heard of Deepak Chopra. Perhaps you saw his name at a bookstore—so far he's written more than 85 books, 21 of which were New York Times bestsellers. Perhaps you saw him in the news when he announced starting an online meditation experience with Oprah. And almost 20 years ago, he cofounded with the late David Simon, MD, The Chopra Center and now acts as CEO.
Physical health is just one of Chopra's three aims at the center. He also aspires to emotional freedom and higher states of consciousness for his patients. He approach these aims with a toolkit of Eastern and Western therapies, especially emphasizing Ayurveda, a healing system developed in India more than 5,000 years ago. Their East-West-fusion approach is evident throughout the practice, just as much in the medical treatments as in the retreats. The signature Perfect Health retreat, for instance, unfolds in Carlsbad at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, relaxing bodies and minds with a mix of meditation, healthcare, Ayurvedic cuisine, and yoga instruction on topics more interesting than how to truly understand your mat.
