500 Million Lives Changed
"The main benefit is it's significantly improved my ability to stay calm when I'm stressed, tired or angry. I used to think these practices were for people who did very little, but it's the opposite. I have a lot to do and I have to be effective as a leader. Sudarshan Kriya keeps me moving in the right direction."
“The Happiness Program has greatly improved my ability to stay calm when I'm stressed, tired, or angry. I thought these techniques were for people who have too much time, but the opposite is true. I have a lot of work and I have to be effective as an employer. Sudarshan Kriya gives me the impulse and energy I need to move forward.”
"Sudarshan Kriya helps me chill out if I'm stressed, and maintain high levels of energy. Just this morning, I woke up on the wrong side of bed. So I really gave my kriya my all, and my outlook completely changed afterwards. I'm still surprised how effective it is."
"Learning to manage my own mind and body through breathing practices has truly been the greatest gift. Practicing Sudarshan Kriya everyday has helped me heal past wounds, become more confident in myself and more aware of everything in my life so that I can be a better me."

Questions?
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 the breath of peace, which makes both Inhalation and Exhalation long and smooth, bringing you back to calm and relaxed mind. Another technique, we call “Yogic Coffee” will give you a boost of energy and focus (and no caffeine jitters). The centerpiece of the workshop, Sudarshan Kriya™, uses specific rhythms of breath to get you unstuck and take you effortlessly into a state of meditation.
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 SKY Breathing features a unique breathing technique called Sudarshan Kriya™. Many people who’ve practiced other breathwork and meditation techniques have told us that Sudarshan Kriya is the most powerful and effective tool they’ve ever learned.
It leaves you calm yet energized, focused yet relaxed, bringing more joy and happiness to your life, eliminating fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration, and depression.
Here are some of the most impressive research results:
- Up to 87.5% reduction in stress bio-marker levels (serum cortisol and blood lactate).
- 33% increase in the well-being hormone prolactin from the very first session.
- Relieves depression in 67-73% of participants within one month (across over a dozen studies).
- Relieves anxiety in 71% of individuals for whom medication and psychotherapy treatments had failed.
- 3x more time spent in deep restful stages of sleep.
- Increased levels of antioxidant enzymes which protect us from many diseases and rapid aging.
- Reduced blood pressure in both healthy and health compromised individuals.
- Improved cholesterol and triglyceride profile.
- Greater mental focus in regular practitioners (significantly greater EEG Beta wave activity).

Disclaimer: The SKY Breathing is for overall well-being and rejuvenation. The above results are from research studies, many of which are based on an adaptation of The SKY Breathing to special needs groups. The Happiness Program is not designed to treat or alleviate clinical symptoms. If you suspect you may have a clinical condition, consult your healthcare professional before deciding whether to enroll in our program.
Research shows physical & mental health benefits are often shown from the very first session. And results are cumulative; they grow stronger over time.
Results also seem to have a lasting effect. In one study cited by Prevention Magazine, not only did people’s anxiety reduce 44%, but it lasted for 6 months. Results from studies on people with PTSD and depression also show sustained effects. See details and references at www.artofliving.org/au-en/sudarshan-kriya
