The Art of Living Foundation
The Foundation The Art of Living was founded in 1982 by the renowned spiritual teacher Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. It is an international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organisation, active in over 146 countries.  The Foundation works in special consultative status with the United Nation's Economic and Social Council.

To live life fully and freely is an art, requiring skill, intuition, creativity, and wisdom. Art of Living courses are an extraordinary distillation of ancient knowledge into a practical 21st century context.

The jewel of the courses is the Sudarshan Kriya (a unique breathing practice), which promotes the release of stress from both body and mind. “It is every human being’s birthright to live in a disease-free body and a stress-free mind, yet neither at school nor at home have we been taught how to deal with our negative emotions,” says Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
