The Art of Living Foundation: USA Reviews 

Learning the SKY breathing practice has been a real gift for me. I feel more connected to my body as well as my Higher Self. Make the investment in yourself. You'll be happy you did.

The Skye technique is an extraordinary means to learn meditation and to connect more deeply with the Self within. I feel much calmer, more centered, and better able to deal with the vicissitudes of life. The teachers I have had are uniformly supportive, welcoming, and genuinely interested in my well being. I am truly grateful for this practice.

Help me in my tough times, thanks

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.

I love the Art of Living organization. I have taken the Sky Breath Meditation course as well as the Silent Retreat.

The Sky Breath course is a beginning course which introduces breathwork and meditation techniques and Art of Living philosophy. I took the class from two instructors, Sunita Yal Amarty and Sajni Kallichanda and it was wonderful. I have been practicing meditation for about 7 years now but the techniques I learned in the Sky Breath class really helped me attain a much deeper meditation. Once the sky breath class has been taken students are able to access the app which is very helpful for daily practice. In addition to the daily sky breath practice, the app also has other meditations and you can sign for meet ups. The meet ups are all on zoom so you can connect with people local or even outside your area.

Once you have taken the Sky Breath course you can continue on to advanced courses such as the Silent Retreat. The Silent Retreat is also conducted on Zoom so you can participate from home and do not have to pay for travel or lodging. This 4 day course was absolutely phenomenal and I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking inner peace. I am looking forward to taking again.

Both the SKY and Sahaj Samadhi programs have made a positive difference in my life. By consistently doing the daily practices, I have felt more grounded, less reactive and more compassionate for myself and others. The trainings were very engaging, and the instructors were supportive, fun and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend attending the Art of Living programs!

SKY Breath was the right medicine at the right time…

The technique and benefits were explained simply and beautifully in the course. And then Sri Sti’s voice guided our SKY meditation practice and I will never be the same. The magic… the medicine… the grace… that I receive from the daily practice (especially Sri Srs voice) is a divine gift.

Each day, SKY invites the Breath and the Prana to flow through my body, mind and spirit. It heals. It inspires. It calms. It deepens.

I can finally sleep through the night. My mind has better focus. My body has healthy function. My emotions are smoother.

SKY is not just a meditation practice. It is a gift of life… a healthier life… and divine grace…

I work at Walt Disney World where Magic lives. This is the happiest place on earth. However, as much as I was a part of creating magic for our guest, there was an ongoing search to find the magic within. During pandemic, when the stress level was at it's peak, I got introduced to Art Of Living by a friend of mine. And thereafter, my life has changed. Earlier, people always saw me with a smile and calmness on my face, but in reality there was a lot of turmoil within me. Lots of anxiety and stress were a part of my life due to various circumstances in my life. But after joining Art of Living, I learnt the art of meditating which brought inner peace within me. From thereon, I made a commitment to myself, that come what may, I will do my daily meditations and believe me, my state of mind has changed. There is inner peace and calm, and finally I can say that I was able to create the magic within me.

Practicing my morning and evening breathing and meditation, I have found an inner peace and happiness. After years of searching, I finally found my soul group and am home. My life is blessed and I am forever grateful to Sri Sri and all the teachers and volunteers for assisting me on my journey.

The Art of living has been very useful and beneficial in my life. The breathing, meditation, and yoga training has been priceless. My trainers, Ajay and Vashali, were very patient and helpful at teaching me the proper techniques. They were also very friendly and welcoming, which made me feel like a part of the Art of living family. My life has changed for the better as a result of my experience with this organization!!!

Since being involved with Art of Living breathing techniques, meditations and wisdom from sri sri, I have become a much calmer and understanding person.

The Silent Meditation Retreat weekend was such a necessity. The benefits (feeling more calm, clear, relaxed) are still with me. I have felt the need for daily meditation ever since!

From Anxiety to calmness, fear to confidence from student to teacher just in one and half year all this possible only with Art of living courses whether it is SkY, Sahaj or VTP or Srisriyoga… Got everything in life i asked for…. Thankyou 🙏
