INHALE GOOD HEALTH, EVERYDAY!

Within the breath is the unexplored secret of life. And Sudarshan Kriya™ is the key to it.

Breath is the main source of prana – the vital life-force energy. Prana is the very basis of health and well-being for both, the body and mind. When the prana is high, one feels healthy, alert, and energetic. Sudarshan Kriya™ elevates the prana by flushing out more than 90% toxins and accumulated stress, every day.
