The Art of Living Foundation
The Art of Living Foundation is a global, nonprofit educational and humanitarian organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through meditation, breathwork, yoga, and stress‑relief programs. Founded in 1981 by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Art of Living operates in more than 180 countries, offering practical tools and wisdom to cultivate inner peace, emotional resilience, and a deeper sense of connection.
Our programs—including Sudarshan Kriya, breathwork workshops, meditation courses, youth empowerment initiatives, and service projects—have transformed the lives of millions. Rooted in ancient yogic knowledge and delivered in a warm, accessible format, Art of Living’s offerings help people reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and experience greater joy in daily life.
In the United States, Art of Living hosts community events, retreats, volunteer‑driven service projects, and special gatherings with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Whether you’re new to meditation or deepening your practice, our events create a welcoming space for growth, healing, and connection.
