BUDOKON: Hollywood's latest fitness craze
arrives to our studio in full force!

   Budokon, has become the Hollywood's latest fitness craze. Actress Rene Russo was the first convert to this fusion of yoga, martial arts and meditation and was swiftly followed by Courtney Cox, also of Friends fame, and her actor husband, David Arquette, who then both recommended it to Jennifer Aniston.

    The literal translation of Budokon is "the way of the spiritual warrior." Budokon is a fusion of Power Yoga, Martial Arts and Meditation in one complete system. This system develops strength of the body, of the mind, and serenity of the spirit.
