Art of Living Course
The Art of Living Course teaches us how to breathe. It
takes us to the core of the present moment and allows us to live life
from that area of innocence and spontaneity which lies deep within us.
Based on the breath, this 20-hour workshop provides us with practical
tools for eliminating stress, transforming negative emotions and
improving our health.
This Course releases layers of stress without effort,
removing blocks to the increased energy and joy that are our
birthright. The course integrates modern methods with ancient spiritual
heritage to bring you in touch with the silent core of your Being. You
will enjoy the ancient practices of yoga, meditation and rhythms of
breath (Sudarshan Kriya), as these are combined in new ways to nourish
all levels of Body, Mind and Spirit.
