What Our Participants Have To Say!
“After completing the Art of Living Part 1, I found myself to be calmer with a more positive and optimistic view on situations. I was surprised at how emotionally free I felt directly afterwards. One year on and continuing with the techniques taught on the course, I feel this has given me the headspace to make some important decisions in my life which I'd been struggling with previously.”
“From day one of the course I was able to sleep after relying on sleeping pills to fall asleep, I knew then that this course was for me. I felt like my system got a total re-boot and even though life’s challenges still come my way (difficult relationships and a stressful job) I seem to deal with them much better, with a smile on my face, rather than let the problem take over.”
“The course touched a cord with me. From a very anxious frame of mind I felt some calm during and after. It opened the door to a world I had no idea existed; the wisdom gave me faith and empowered me to find my self and my peace. I was lucky to have the spirit of enquiry and Art of Living did the rest.”
“The Art of Living Part 1 was my first glimpse beyond just fitting in and surviving London life. I realised there was a lot more to life than I’d been settling for. Now 5 years on my life is completely different, I am happy, I am working for myself and I am thriving - I am very grateful that the course found me, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone.”
FAQs
While breathing happens automatically, most of us are unaware that working with the breath can give us the ability to manage our mind and emotions. In fact, every emotion you experience has a corresponding rhythm in the breath. By changing the rhythms of breath, you can change your emotions.
For example, you’ll learn “Ujjayi”, which makes your breath long
and smooth, bringing you back to a calm and relaxed mind. Another technique called “Bhastrika” will give you a boost of energy and focus. The pillar of the workshop, Sudarshan Kriya™, uses specific rhythms of breath to clear negative impressions at a cellular level, increasing your overall health and sense of well-being. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly the breath can calm the mind and how easy meditation can be.
In addition to a series of introductory breathing exercises (pranayamas), The Art of Living Part 1 course features a unique breathing technique called Sudarshan Kriya™. Many people who’ve practiced other breathwork and meditation techniques have experienced the Sudarshan Kriya™ as the most effective and profound technique they’ve ever learned.
By eliminating fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, more joy and happiness can enter your life. It leaves you feeling calm yet energized, focused yet relaxed.

They also display long-term effects. In one study cited by Prevention Magazine, not only did the participants’ anxiety reduce by 44%, the benefits lasted 6 months. Results from studies on people with PTSD and depression also show substantially sustained effects.
