Let’s Talk
Art of Living Part 1

Art of Living Part 1 (SKY Breath Meditation)

3–4 days

Formerly known as the Happiness Program, Art of Living Part 1 is usually where people start. It centers on SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga) — a specific breathing sequence developed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and now taught in over 180 countries, with decades of published research behind it. Over three to four days, you learn the full technique: a way of using your breath to work through stress instead of getting stuck in it. Most people leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more like themselves — and with a practice they can keep using long after the course ends.

What You’ll Gain
  • The complete SKY Breath Meditation sequence
  • Yogic breathing techniques for daily stress management
  • Yoga and meditation practices for mind-body alignment
  • Tools to regulate your nervous system on demand

Mantra-Based Meditation

Sahaj Samadhi Meditation

Sahaj Samadhi is a natural, effortless form of meditation using a personally selected mantra — a sound that allows the mind to settle into deep, restful states without straining to concentrate. Unlike concentration-based practices, Sahaj requires no effort. You simply let the mantra carry you inward. Research on regular practice shows improved cognitive performance, lower cortisol levels, and measurable changes in brain structure over time.

What You’ll Gain
  • Your personalized mantra, given by Shobha
  • A daily 20-minute practice that fits any schedule
  • Access to deep rest that sleep alone cannot provide
  • Long-term improvements in focus, emotional regulation, and wellbeing

Art of Living Part 2

Art of Living Part 2 (Silence Program)

4–5 days

The Art of Living Part 2 is a silence retreat — days spent in noble silence, going deeper into the meditation and breathwork you started in Part 1. The structure is simple and the pace is unhurried, which is part of the point. What people usually find isn’t dramatic. It’s quieter than that — the chance to actually sit with themselves, often for the first time in years.

What You’ll Gain
  • Advanced breathwork and meditation techniques
  • Release of deep-seated emotional and physiological stress
  • Clearer thinking and more steady energy
  • A strengthened daily practice to carry home

For Institutions

Art of Living for Workplace Wellbeing

Wellbeing programs for institutions, government departments, NGOs, and corporations — adapting Art of Living’s evidence-based practices to the workplace to reduce burnout, improve communication, and build emotional resilience under pressure. Institutions that run it report measurable drops in absenteeism, conflict, and stress-related costs. It’s delivered over time, not in a single workshop, because habits — individual or institutional — don’t change in a day.

What You’ll Gain
  • Breathwork and mindfulness tools for the entire team
  • Emotional intelligence and communication frameworks
  • A measurable reduction in workplace stress and conflict
  • Leadership practices that cascade through the institution

Targeted Course

Sleep & Anxiety Protocol

Ongoing

Poor sleep and ongoing anxiety usually aren’t about willpower — they’re patterns in the nervous system, and patterns can be retrained. This program combines breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and targeted meditation to work on the root causes, not just the symptoms. Most participants notice real change within two to three weeks of steady practice.

What You’ll Gain
  • A personalized evening breathwork and wind-down routine
  • Yoga Nidra for deep nervous system restoration
  • Tools for interrupting anxiety cycles in real time

Youth Programs

Planting the Seeds Early.

The inner tools that transform adults are even more powerful when given to young people first. These programs meet children, teens, and university students exactly where they are.

Ages 8–12 Art of Living Youth Program

ART Excel — All Round Training in Excellence

Children don’t need more pressure — they need better tools. ART Excel is built for kids aged 8 to 12, using games, group activities, and yogic breathing and meditation practices to build focus, emotional steadiness, and peace of mind. It doesn’t feel like school, because it isn’t run like one. Children leave with a 15–20 minute daily practice they can do on their own.

What They Gain
  • Breathing and meditation techniques they can use independently at home
  • Confidence in social situations and the ability to make friends naturally
  • Emotional regulation tools for handling fear, anger, and frustration

Ages 13–18 Art of Living Youth Program

YES! — Youth Empowerment Seminar

Adolescence throws a lot at teenagers at once — pressure, comparison, changing bodies, and the ongoing work of figuring out who they are. YES! gives teens breathwork and practical tools for handling stress and big emotions, along with space to talk honestly about what they’re going through. Through breathwork, group discussion, and interactive exercises, they build self-awareness and start taking real responsibility for their choices — in school, at home, and in their friendships.

What They Gain
  • Breathwork tools for managing exam stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
  • Confidence under peer pressure and in challenging social situations
  • Leadership, communication, and conflict resolution skills

Ages 8–18 Art of Living Youth Program

The Intuition Process

Every child is born intuitive. Stress, noise, and constant stimulation bury that instinct over time. The Intuition Process uses guided meditations and playful, ancient techniques to help children and teens reconnect with that inner sense — building mental clarity, emotional stability, and better decision-making along the way. It’s non-religious and entirely experiential: kids learn by doing, not by being told.

What They Gain
  • Sharper focus, memory, and academic performance
  • Emotional resilience and a calmer, more creative mind
  • Inner stillness as a reliable life skill — not just a program outcome
