Helping People Thrive

"We practice Sudarshan Kriya every day. It gives us an ever increasing awareness of how to live in the present moment."

"I am calmer, I have more energy and I feel that I am a better able to cope with things. This has been fantastic at work. I feel that I get more done, and that what used to seem like huge problems, are not so bad when you stop to think, and breathe."

"As an engineer, I need to be both analytical and critical. Mental clarity and stamina are also essential. Sudarshan Kriya and meditation enhance these abilities. An additional plus is a better sense of well-being."

The central technique on the program, Sudarshan Kriya™ (SKY), is a powerful rhythmic breathing technique that effortlessly takes you into a state of deep meditation.

Over 60 independent studies conducted on four continents and published in peer reviewed journals, have demonstrated a comprehensive range of benefits from SKY practice.

Independent research has shown Sudarshan Kriya significantly:

• Reduces levels of stress 
• Increases optimism
• Improves emotion regulation
• Enhances well-being and peace of mind

Additional Peer-Reviewed Benefits:

• Relieves depression in 67-73% of participants within one month (across over a dozen studies) ^{[2, 4, 8-14]}

• Increased levels of antioxidant enzymes which protect us from many diseases and rapid aging ^{[6, 23, 27]}

• Reduced blood pressure in both healthy and health compromised individuals ^{[25, 30]}

• Improved cholesterol and triglyceride profile: ^{[24] [6, 28]}
