The degree to which stress unduly influences our lives is generally underestimated. Often the mind clings on to anger, guilt, regrets about the past, or anxiety about the future. This oscillation of the mind is the determining factor for tension and stress both for ourselves, and for the people around us.

The Art of Living courses incorporate simple yet powerful techniques, including breathing exercises and meditation, to help relieve people of physical and emotional stress and improve clarity of thought. Our programmes seek to blossom the individuals full potential with emphasis on conscious holistic living and personal self-development.

One of the main breathing techniques used on Art of Living courses is the Sudarshan Kriya®, a powerful breathing practice which is traditionally understood to have a profound effect on the mind, body and spirit.

The courses have been extremely effective at dealing with:

• Eliminating everyday stresses
• Increasing overall health and mental well-being
• Increased mental clarity and greater joy and peace in life.
• Improving relationships and bringing sustained emotional balance

The Art of Living breathing practices are derived from the Yogic Science of Breath and initial scientific studies confirm the traditionally held benefits.

" We need to do a cleansing process within ourselves. In sleep we get rid of fatigue, but the deeper stresses remain in our body. Sudarshan Kriya cleanses the system from the inside. The breath has a great secret to offer." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
