What is Online Medha Yoga Level 1?
The Problem
Research shows that happy teens turn into healthy adults. But happy teens are becoming a rarity. While tackling the transition from childhood to adulthood, they are dealing with a host of challenges: studies, entrance exams, peer pressure, and relationships. And so, teen stress is rising rapidly.
Our Solution
Happy and calm teens are able to stay resilient despite challenges. The Medha Yoga Level 1 focuses on just that: to make teens stress-free and happy yet focused go-getters. The program helps participants overcome negative emotions and deal with stress through special breathing techniques. With tips and groups discussions around topics like studies, peer pressure, and self-esteem, the program guides them on how to unleash their full potential. In addition, important life skills like teamwork and cooperation are honed through interactive processes and games.

What participants share
“I had been very conscious of the fact that there is one dimension of personality going neglected among the young girls in the school which was spirituality. I wanted the girls to see the hidden potential they all possess. The natural resort was the Art of Living workshop because there is a prime need for value education. There is no lesson plan which can incorporate values the way The Art of Living program does and I have seen for myself how the AOL program engages the children. I knew the program was the next thing to do and I am very happy that they have taken it to like fish to water.”-
“I am thankful to my parents and teachers for creating an environment conducive to healthy competition. When overwhelmed, I practiced Kung Fu and meditated. Sudarshan Kriya helped me immensely to increase my focus.”
“Prior to doing the Art of Living program, I was easily distracted. Now I can easily study for a few hours at a stretch and focus easily. I see the benefits myself of doing the Sudarshan Kriya and the Prajna Yoga meditation.”
“Regular practice of the Sudarshan Kriya increased my concentration power and kept energy levels throughout the day. I was able to manage studies without any stress! I’m thankful to The Art of Living.”
