The most game-changing thing I have done in my life. I feel like a new person. I'm calmer, more centered and more present in all situations.

I feel it was one of the best decision I made in my life to go for the happiness program. I meditate regularly but doing Sudarshan Kriya further helps to go in to the deep relaxing stage.

A great place to find some much-needed solace and peace in our fast moving lives. The instructors are very caring and they take personal interest in each person. Highly recommended.

Greater clarity and focus, practical pointers and the ability to "re-charge on the spot" are just some of the very few lifelong lessons that I took away from it.
