The Art of Living Foundation initiated the ART Excel Program - All Round Training in Excellence - in response to the global health and values crisis facing today's youth.

ART Excel is for children from 8-14 years of age, and involves elements of breathing, meditation and yoga and the teaching of core human values such as trust, respect, cooperation, sharing, compassion through fun team games and problem solving activities.

This course has already been welcomed by many schools across North America and Europe. It is relatively new in the UK - but we are a young team of committed teachers who would like to bring this wonderful workshop to schools in this country.

Benefits reported by children who have participated in the past have included, improved concentration and alertness in class, reduced anger and stress, improved sleep and relationships with peers, parents and teachers, the list goes on!

The course is presented in a practical and fun framework that appeals to children of all ethnic, racial and religious/non-religious backgrounds.
