CAN INTENSATI HELP RECOVERY IN ADDICTS?
Wendy A. Suzuki, Ph.D. , Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at NYU is starting a study looking at the effects of of twice a week intenSati on cognitive functions, mood and craving in a population of elderly, life-long drug addicts. She will test the idea that intenSati will improve a subset of attention and working memory functions, improve mood and decrease cravings and in this way, improve the chances of recovery from addiction.
We are so grateful to have Wendy running the program and Kari Nadler, Elise Green and Diane Finkelday as volunteer IntenSati instructors for this study that will be starting later this summer
FREE INTENSATI AT NYU
Since the Summer of 2009, Wendy Suzuki has been organizing and teaching a Free intenSati class at NYU open to all students, faculty and staff at NYU as well as to the general public. Wendy teaches the majority of the lasses in the summer, but during the rest of the school year, the classes are taught by up and coming Sati teachers and serve as a friendly venue for new teachers to get practice in front of a "live" audience.
A New IntenSati and the Brain Study at NYU
We will soon be starting a new research study examining the effects of a 1 hour intenSati on cognitive performance. Ever wondered why you feel brighter and more alert after class? Ever wonder how long that Sati-glow lasts after class? We hope to understand not only the range of cognitive functions that are effected by intenSati, but we will examine the time course of these effects of well. Finally, by taking measurements of electrical brain activity (EEG) both before and after class, we hope to start to understand the patterns of brain activity that change with exercise.

INTENSATI IN BRYANT PARK
IntenSati with Natalia in Bryant Park in NYC on June 8, 2010 drew over 200 Sati warriors, old and new to the practice as well! The only non-yoga practice featured in the Bryant Park Yoga series sponsored by Lululemon Athletica, the outdoor event was a smash hit, as even businesspeople on their lunch breaks and passersby joined in on the thundering affirmations! What a blessing!
