Chopra certified instructor launches wellbeing centre in Gauteng

A relaxing escape to restore mind-body balance

Founder Salochanee Reddy, in pursuit of a more authentic and balanced life, took a sabbatical from the high energy events and conference management business, to pursue teacher certifications at the Chopra Center University. Based in California, USA, the centre was founded by world renowned spiritual leader and author of more than 80 bestselling books, Dr Deepak Chopra.

Reddy’s sought-after certifications in Perfect Health Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Primordial Sound Meditation, make her the country’s first South African-born Chopra certified instructor among just under 1000 worldwide.

“In addressing my personal challenges of stress management, emotional difficulties and weight management, I found the most important influence was the realisation that I am totally accountable and responsible for all my actions and wellbeing on a daily basis,” she reveals.

“I found it challenging to find a place where emphasis is placed on total wellbeing at one facility for mind, body, soul and emotional balancing without any stigmas, dogmas and judgement,” she adds.

Tranquil Suburbia

Launched in October 2014, the EQuilbrium Centre is a tranquil haven that is steadily becoming a place of healing and restoration from urbanised living. It houses EQuilibrium Yoga and Pilates Studio, EQ Natural Day Spa and a venue catering for special workshops, retreats or corporate wellbeing packages. Each facility is tailored to target all-round physical, mental, spiritual and emotional wellness.

The centre’s signature Perfect Health Workshop sees Reddy join forces with renowned integrated medical practitioner, Dr Ela Manga, to blend the healing arts of the East with the best of modern Western Medicine. Based on the global best seller, Perfect Health by Deepak Chopra, M.D., this exclusive workshop teaches the art of creating balance and cultivating physical health and emotional wellbeing, through a powerful regimen of Ayurvedic practices, enhanced nutrition, reduced emotional turbulence and re-awakening of the senses.

The centre’s 2015 calendar is already brimming with a host of workshops focusing on various aspects of total wellbeing, each highlighting balance, family life, nutrition, energy management, physical wellbeing, emotional freedom, mindfulness and more.

Free, weekly, 30-minute group meditation sessions are offered on Wednesday evenings from 18h00 and there are also weekend retreats to learn from pioneers in the field of integrative healing.

EQuilibrium Yoga and Pilates Studio offers a wide variety of daily morning and evening classes across various styles of yoga and Pilates, and welcomes new and experienced participants. Its emphasis is on more intimate classes focusing on restoring balance and enabling healing.
