Using pranayama, meditation, and Sudarshan Kriya to increase energy (prana).
feeling lighter and empowered. The tools on the course bring immediate improvement in
energy, sleep patterns, peace of mind, and an overall feeling of well-being. Continuing
with a short, easy practice at home nourishes all levels of the body, mind, and spirit
everyday.

How do these practices differ from others?
The masterpiece of the course is the Sudarshan Kriya practice. This unique practice is
incredibly effective at dissolving accumulated stress and negative emotions while
triggering a natural healing response in the system. Energy is increased and the mind
settles in the present moment.

Sudarshan Kriya works quickly, using the breath in a unique way without effort or force.
The practice is neither rigorous nor time-consuming. Sudarshan Kriya takes only 10-20
minutes and does not require any physical exertion or mental control. Unlike meditation
where the benefits depend on the mind becoming quiet, Sudarshan Kriya works
regardless of thoughts or emotions, yet the practice creates a calm in the mind setting
the stage for deep meditation.

Where does this knowledge come from?
Breathing practices were continually refined over thousands of years by the many
architects of Yoga who studied how the breath could cleanse, energize, and heal the
system, and expand consciousness. Sudarshan Kriya is a vital enhancement of this
knowledge for the modern age where the unprecedented stress and fast pace of life
has taken a heavy toll. Sudarshan Kriya and the Art of Living Course were developed by
His Holiness
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

         Millions of people from 146 countries have experienced dramatic results
                from the program including an expanded awareness and clarity,
                       and a deeper sense of community and belongingness.
