I happened across the ad for SKY Breathing on the internet and it looked interesting as I was struggling through some stressful issues and thought learning how to breathe effectively would ease things for me. Boy did I gain that and so much more! XXXXXX and I scheduled the free one-on-one introduction session which I found very energizing yet calming at the same time. During the free session, she was wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable that the workshop seemed to be the natural next step. And I'm so glad I decided to do the workshop. The SKY Breathing and other components were new to me as I had no prior knowledge but the instructors made it very comfortable and safe and fun to participate and learn during the 3 day workshop. It felt like a huge time commitment, but the time just flew by. I have been practicing for 7 months now (with some time away due to other commitments). But even when I miss some days, I can come right back and pick it up quite easily. I love the 6:30am video sessions as they start my days off on such an upward momentum. Everyone involved is extremely positive and supportive. It's such a relief and I am so grateful to be part of a supportive group like this with everything that's going on in the world today.

I am so blessed to have found out about Art of Living. My instructors Sunita and Sajni are wonderful. Learning the breathing techniques have helped me so much. It has made me a better person for myself and for my family. In a world of the unknown I was going through so much stress and depression along with other things without a way to escape it. And that's when an ad from Art of Living popped up. It couldn't have come at a better time. Since then I look at things so differently and use my breathing techniques as a source of peace and relaxation. It's like my mind just slows down and puts me in a better place. A place with no worries. It's so funny because now when I have a rough day my husband will say, Go do your breathing practice then come back. My kids already know not to disturb me when I'm in my room with the door closed. I recommend the Art of Living to everybody. People are dealing with so much in life and if you can just settle down and focus on your self and your inner being it will change you for the better. God Bless. You.

I started my Art of Living journey as I needed to make a change in my life. I felt lost on so many levels, and although I was outwardly smiling, internally I was an unhappy wreck. I honestly feeled blessed to have found Art of Living when I did. I've been able to overcome emotional roadblocks that were literally preventing me from being truly free and happy. I am much more at peace, living and enjoying life to its fullest, and improving relationships with the people closest to me. Like everyone else that has found the peace Art of Living brings, I so wish I had started this beautiful journey sooner, but better late than never!

SKY meditation is one of the best thing I have ever done to myself. It's been an amazing journey for me so far. This practice has helped me in many ways. My health, my relationship with my father improved significantly. I am a much better performer at work. Above all, I feel connected to myself. It's hard to believe how much a breath can influence the mind. I have suffered with severe anxiety for more than a decade & just after a few sessions of breathing and yoga, I felt that years of anxiety just evaporated. I feel much happier, much calmer & I owe this change to SKY. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to join this course. I am always grateful to my teachers Aarti Varshney & Nikhil Sole for helping people like me & answering any questions I have despite their busy schedules Thank you!!

I find this organization very sincere in their work of helping others see themselves as well healing this planet. The follow thru and mentoring is amazing. This has helped me a typical type A heal my body! No more blood pressure medicine! I look at life very differently now! Thank you from my heart! Karen B

I am very pleased having taken the Sky meditation class. Having done various mindful meditation classes I felt from this class I learned breathing techniques that definitely produced a level of body and mind relaxation that greatly facilitated and aided my time in meditation. The instructors were, kind,helpful ,and well suited for instructing others. The follow-up was and is consistent, my only regret that most of my class participants were attending from the East coast, constituting a time difference. Perhaps in the future classes can be given by instructors in your own time zone.

I've taken multiple Art of Living Courses over the past year plus. From the beginning, the Sky Breath course, I knew it was something I was going to love! The Silence course was a bit intimidating to me at first, not thinking that I could be silent for several days. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened to me at the time. I was going through multiple medical issues, family stuff and just everyday stresses, and when the course finished I was in a better state to deal with them. Life happens, covid is here for awhile yet, but I can handle the pressures much better since learning how to meditate and be still. Art of Living has given me more confidence, and new friends too! I could go on and on, but you have to try it for yourself, after all, what do you have to lose? It's a wonderful way of life.

I took the SKY Breath Meditation course on March 12-14, 2021. I have been practicing SKY Breath since then. Except for a couple days here and there, I have practiced SKY regularly. I have experienced a remarkable difference in my sleep. I sleep better, my deep sleep duration has gone up and my snoring has improved. My lungs’ capacity seems to have improved as well. The positive effects of SKY breathing have been shown in scientific studies also. I am happy that I have been able to make this positive change in my life with the help of the Art of Living Foundation.🙏🙏 I gave 4 stars because the ArtofLiving app (IOS) needs improvement. I use the SKY Breathing feature which has two parts, a knowledge discussion and the SKY practice and one can follow the day of the practice. The knowledge discussion should be followed by the option to start SKY practice. However, after knowledge discussion, instead of moving to SKY practice the feature quits. Sometimes the app will quit or wouldn’t open. The last update did improve the app but bugs still remain.
