What is special about Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and The Art of Living Foundation?

With the Art of Living and the Sri Sri Yoga Workshop Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has translated the application of Yoga in the modern times of the 21st century. Making the techniques easily applicable, yet profound and ef­fective, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been instrumental in rekindling the interest of the social mainstream in Yoga. Beyond reviving ancient wisdom, Gurudev has also de­signed special courses which teach effective and prac­tical techniques for emotional and physical wellbeing. These include the Sudarshan Kriya which has helped millions of people to find relief from stress and discover inner reservoirs of energy and peace in daily life.

The Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful breathing technique, forms the cornerstone of a diverse range of self-devel­opment programmes catering to all sections of society. Customized courses are available for executives, youth, military, children and villagers. Special programmes have been designed for prisoners, as well as individuals with drug and alcohol dependencies.

Developed by Gurudev, the Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of breath to release stress and bring the mind to the present moment, followed by the belief that peace in the world starts with a peaceful individual.
