The Science of Breath

In a fast paced age where stress and depression are widespread, the toll of these
on physical and mental health can be extremely high. Stress, anxiety and depression
are known to be significant factors in the onset and progression of a wide spectrum
of illnesses ranging from cancer and HIV-1 infection, to asthma and cardiovascular
disease.

The goal of the International Art of Living Foundation is to provide people from
all layers of society with practical and effective tools, derived from the ancient
yogic science of breath, to alleviate stress, improve health and increase wellness.
The Art of Living International Research and Health Promotion Center aims to
promote timely and scholarly investigation on these practices as they relate to
physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Sudarshan Kriya® and its accompanying practices (SK&P), taught by the Art of Living
Foundation world-wide, are time-honored stress management/health promotion
techniques whose health benefits are being validated by modern medical science.
