SANTA MONICA, CA, May 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Picture a Buddha statue - the highest symbol in yogic culture - and immediately the idea of unshakable faith, mental discipline and fearlessness come to mind. Ask a professional cyclist what it takes to complete a 100-mile race and you'll hear about similar self-mastery. Trevor Tice, CEO of Core Power Yoga (CPY), has always appreciated the similarities between power yoga and the sport of cycling, and now he's investing in both.
"I love the combination of yoga and cycling. Both require focus, physical strength, breath control and that mind-body connection," says Tice, the founder of one of the largest, most successful yoga operations in the U.S. with 50+ locations.
The addition of stationary cycling classes, fusion weight training programs and use of other traditional exercise equipment isn't a rarity among yoga studios today - and for good reason. In fact, Tice took a closer look at his member base and discovered that approximately 50% still maintain gym memberships. Their primary purpose wasn't to pump iron, but rather to accelerate their cardiovascular training.
Making his mark with sweaty, core-centric yoga classes, Tice selected the bike that would serve his members' needs best - the RealRyder Indoor Cycle. This "unstationary" indoor bike actually leans and turns, emulating the same functional, core-centric movement you feel on the real road.
"The lateral movement adds a whole new dimension to the experience. You're not only getting your arms more involved in the workout, but it's also more specific work for the core... just like the type of yoga we offer at Core Power Yoga," says Tice. "We wanted to provide this as a value-add, so that our members could move away from the gym and be completely fulfilled spiritually, mentally and physically at Core Power Yoga."
The RealRyder bikes are now thriving in three CPY locations, including Minneapolis, MN where, Tice reports, "We were turning up to 15 people away at our 6 a.m. classes. We just doubled the number of bikes we have there because of the success. The members have been loving it."
With 8-10 installations expected by year's end, Tice and his team are experimenting with heated rooms for the cycling classes to encourage the same detoxification benefits his members enjoy in their sweltering yoga classes.
"Pure yoga will always be our primary business, but we try not to be so dogmatic about it. We feel that every one needs to choose their own path. We try to make it successful and fun!" adds Tice.
Perhaps if Buddha had known about Tice's powerful combination, we'd be rubbing his rock hard abs for good luck?

U of A study finds ways to help end dry mouth in cancer patients
2011-05-05
(Edmonton) For patients suffering from cancer in the mouth or throat, a recent study shows that a treatment called submandibular gland transfer will assist in preventing a radiation-induced condition called xerostomia.
Also known as dry mouth, xerostomia occurs when salivary glands stop working. University of Alberta researcher Jana Rieger likens the feeling of xerostomia to the experience of the after-effects of having surgery and anesthetic—but the feeling is permanent.
While the importance of healthy saliva glands may be an afterthought for some patients when battling ...
Researchers show heparan sulfate adjusts functions of growth factor proteins
2011-05-05
(Boston) - When the human genome project produced a map of human genes, the number of genes in humans turned out to be relatively small, approximately the same number as in primitive nematode worms. The difference in complexity between human and primitive organisms results from the ways in which the functions of genes are elaborated, rather from just the number of genes. Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers are showing how heparan sulfate, a carbohydrate that is expressed on the surface of all human cells, adjusts the functions of growth factor proteins. ...
USGS economic analysis updated for the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
2011-05-05
The U.S. Geological Survey assessment on the economic recoverability of undiscovered, conventional oil and gas resources within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) and adjacent state waters is now available.
This economic analysis is based on a 2010 USGS resource assessment (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2010/3102/) that determined how much undiscovered, conventional oil and gas in the NPRA is technically recoverable. These reports provide updates from the USGS 2003 economic analysis (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2003/of03-044/) and 2002 resource assessment (http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2002/fs045-02/) ...
Hitting target in cancer fight now easier with new nanoparticle platform, UCLA scientists say
2011-05-05
The ability to use nanoparticles to deliver payloads of cancer-fighting drugs to tumors in the body could herald a fundamental change in chemotherapy treatment. But scientists are still at a relatively early stage in the implementation of this technology.
Although developing nanoparticles that work as "magic bullets" — selectively targeting tumors while sparing normal, healthy tissues — is still the goal, the reality is that most of these nanocarriers are removed through the liver and spleen before ever reaching their intended target. And many of the encapsulated drugs ...
Estimated costs of environmental disease in children at $76.6 billion per year
2011-05-05
In three new studies published in the May issue of the journal Health Affairs, Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers reveal the staggering economic impact of toxic chemicals and air pollutants in the environment, and propose new legislation to mandate testing of new chemicals and also those already on the market.
Leonardo Trasande, MD, Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine and Pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, analyzed the costs of conditions – including lead poisoning, childhood cancer, asthma, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ...
Newly discovered plant fossil reveals more than age
2011-05-05
Over 100 million years ago, the understory of late Mesozoic forests was dominated by a diverse group of plants of the class Equisetopsida. Today, only one genus from this group, Equisetum (also known as horsetail or scouring rush), exists—and it is a prime candidate for being the oldest extant genus of land plant.
There is some debate as to the evolutionary beginnings of the genus Equisetum. Molecular dating places the divergence of the 15 extant species of the genus around 65 million years ago (mya), yet the fossil record suggests that it occurred earlier than that, ...
New algorithm significantly improves imaging for full-body MRIs
2011-05-05
A new study reveals an improved algorithm that can dramatically improve how radiologists capture and interpret full-body MRIs, particularly in the abdominal region.
Motion artifacts in MRIs, such as patient movement, often appear as ghosting artifacts which may obscure clinical information says Dr. Candice Bookwalter, presenting author for the study. "Almost every acquisition during an MR abdominal exam requires a breath hold to limit motion. For example, a routine liver exam includes at least nine breath holds. Even with fast imaging techniques, these breath holds are ...

Sonography complements physical exam in identifying juvenile inflammatory arthritis in children
2011-05-05
Juvenile Inflammatory Arthritis (JIA) is a potentially debilitating childhood disease. Early detection and treatment of active arthritis may avert long term joint damage and disability. Research has shown that sonography with power Doppler can facilitate making assessments in joint activity and sub-clinical disease, according to research being presented at the 2011 American Roentgen Ray Society's annual meeting.
The study, performed at Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Montefiore Medical Center, in Bronx, NY, compares sonography with power Doppler to physical examination ...
Ultrasound combined with pre-operative MRI is cost effective in evaluating rotator cuff tears
2011-05-05
While ultrasound is usually viewed as more cost effective, MRI is most often used to evaluate the rotator cuff. When performing a cost utility analysis, utilizing an ultrasound as the initial imaging test for rotator cuff tear, along with pre-operative MRI to identify alternative and concurrent diagnoses, can be a very effective hybrid imaging strategy, according to research being presented at the 2011 American Roentgen Ray Society's annual meeting.
The study, performed at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC and Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, ...
