Art Of Living Basic Course

The Art of Living offers stress-elimination tools like the Sudarshan Kriya, yoga, meditation & social initiatives to foster universal well-being & global progress. It all started with Arup Da doing the Art of Living’s Youth Leadership Training Program (YLTP) at Midnapore in 2009. YLTP is a holistic week long workshop that aims to train the youth in dealing with stress and anxiety, through a combination of breathing techniques, yoga and ancient knowledge. Whether you prefer a self-paced schedule or want something experiential and interactive, there is something for everyone in our distance learning program schedule. From live-streaming signature retreats, events, cleanses, and Ayurveda consultations to on-demand Ayurveda education, all of our programs feature the best of our best—experienced teachers, expertly crafted curriculum, and tools. This six-day course was organized by the main branch of The Art of Living in Pune. The course commenced in Mahatma Phule Museum on Ghole Road. The main attraction of the basic course is Sudarshan Kriya, which was discovered by Sri Sri Ravishankar Ji. Sudarshan Kriya was just a part of the course and there were lots of other things to learn also. Hi During my college, in 2014, they charged 1000 rupees per person. But they were claiming that it was a discounted price and generally they charge 2000 rupees. So i think if they are coming to you then fee is 1000 and if you are going to them, i.

The Art of Living courses have found takers from across the length and breadth of the world. People from all walks of life have found the courses beneficial to their well-being. It is surprising to see the courses, despite being just stress-relief courses in their essence, have been doing more than just relieving individuals from stress – after doing the courses individuals have blossomed with efficiency, new-found talents, and smiles which don’t disappear easily.

“Under the pressure of work and a new lifestyle as a fresher who had just started her corporate journey, I had soon started to smile less and less. After doing the happiness program, I saw a great shift happen within me. I started smiling more and more. And even my work efficiency doubled.” – Manisha Tayal, Software Engineer, Sapient, Gurgaon

So, how does a simple stress-relief program deliver much more than simple relaxation? Or is our idea of relaxation not similar to the relaxation the courses wish to bring about? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of the organisation says, “Deep rest cultures talents and brings you closer to your nature. And your nature is all bliss.”

And endowing individuals with the ability to rest deeply seems to be the objective of the Art of Living courses. But how do they achieve this? To know how, let’s dive deeper into the Art Of Living’s basic-level courses:

Happiness Program

If we observe carefully, the source of stress is our own mind. The situation or person bothering us is outside, but the stress created by them is an inner-world phenomenon. Through the application of practical wisdom and practice of meditation, the mind can be trained to keep calm despite the presence of stress stimulants.

The practical wisdom and profound processes of the Happiness program give individuals tools to train their mind into calmness and restfulness with ease.

What to expect in the course?

Twisted hard postures is what comes to our mind when we think of yoga. But, the course content of the Sri Sri Yoga Program is bound to change your mind.

Sahaj Samadhi

Meditation is often thought of as a difficult exercise done to obtain the state of thoughtlessness. What the Sahaj Samadhi course does is to simplify this exercise and make it easy for an individual to reach this state. The Sahaj Samadhi course uses the principle of mantra chanting to lead an individual into meditation. While an ordinary thought when repeated becomes a worry, a mantra when repeated becomes a tool to cut the web of thoughts, thereby leading one to a space of serenity.

The simple technique offered by the course makes itself appealing to anybody who wants to learn an easy way to meditate.

As studies find happy employees more productive, organizations can no longer ignore their well-being.

The APEX program bridges this need and not only ensures calm and happy individuals at the workplace but also ensures improved workplace performance.
