Through this 15-hour workshop, participants have found long-lasting relief from the stresses and strains of their lives and have gained an unshakable sense of balance and joy.
Sudarshan Kriya
The centerpiece of this course is Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful breath-oriented technique that eliminates stress and brings one completely into the present moment.
One of the breath's great secrets is that for every emotion there is a corresponding rhythm in the breath. Sudarshan Kriya utilizes this connection between the breath and emotions, and the whole system is brought into balance. The results are tangible and immediate.
"People worldwide are turning to the intensive Art of Living Course, lowering stress, and finding renewed vigor and clarity."
