interferes in our relationships, and affects our health.

that the Art of Living Course releases layers of stress without effort,
removing blocks to the increased energy and joy that are our birthright.
You will
discover the hidden laws that govern the mind, as well as skills for
dealing effectively with negative emotions. In addition you will enjoy
the ancient practices of yoga, meditation and rhythms of breath, as
these are combined in new ways to nourish all levels of Body, Mind and
Spirit.
The Art of
Living Course offers the practical wisdom of how to live gracefully in a
stressful world, and also the deep spiritual experience necessary to put
that knowledge into action.

Sri Sri Ravishankar
Born
in 1956 to an eminent family in Southern India, it was soon apparent
that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was to be a rare and unusual figure. At the
age of four he could recite the entire Bhagavad Gita and by 17 he had
completed his traditional studies, including an advanced degree in
modern science. In 1986 he was presented with the title "Yoga
Shiromani" (Supreme Teacher of Union with the Self) from the
President of India. He is the only non-westerner to serve on the
advisory board of Yale University's School of Divinity.
In
1982, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar established the Art of Living foundation, as
an educational organization designed to assist all levels of society in
reaching their full human potential. His educational programs offer
innovative tools for managing stress, resolving conflict, improving
health and living life with more joy and enthusiasm. The foundation is a
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in special consultative status with
the United Nations.
In
1992 he launched the Prison SMART Foundation (Stress Management and
Rehabilitative Training) to address the needs of individuals and
professionals impacted by the criminal justice system. Programs are
offered to prison inmates, at-risk youth, victims of crime and criminal
justice professionals.
In
1995 Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was a speaker during the 50th Anniversary
celebration of the United Nations. Since that time, his organization
continues to work with a variety of NGO's (Non-Govermental
Organizations) and UN groups to raise awareness of the need to focus on
human values as a fundamental step in realizing universal human rights.
