Sometimes, all you need is a moment to come back to yourself.

Try this simple breathing practice: inhale gently for 4 counts, then exhale slowly for 6. Repeat for a few comfortable rounds, without forcing your breath.|

Use it whenever you need a moment to slow down, reconnect and be present.

For more guided breathwork, meditation and mindful practices, explore the Bliss app.

🐝 A hum. A pause within.

Meet Bhramari pranayama—the bumble bee breath. Rooted in the yogic tradition, this practice combines a gentle breath with a steady, bee-like hum, inviting our attention inward.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika describes Bhramari in connection with inner joy. Today, researchers are exploring its physiology: a small trial found changes consistent with greater “rest and digest” activity, while a separate humming study measured increased nasal nitric oxide.

Traditional wisdom with a practice to experience,
while modern science offers insights into its benefits.

Swipe for a gentle introduction. Keep your breath comfortable, without holding or forcing.

What if you didn’t need to do more…
but simply pause and breathe? 🌿

Take a slow, gentle breath in.
Let the exhale be a little longer.
And notice what changes when you give yourself a moment.

Your breath is always with you. 🤍

What if the way to help students feel calmer and more focused could start with… their breath? 🧘‍♀️📚

A study involving Yale students explored SKY breathing and found promising benefits for deep calm, stress management and productivity.

That’s the idea behind SKY Campus — bringing evidence-informed breathwork, meditation and practical wellbeing tools to university students.

🎓 Imagine this at universities across Vancouver and British Columbia:

Less stress.
Greater calm.
Better focus.
A stronger student community. 🌿

BC students are facing increasing academic pressure, busy schedules and constant digital stimulation. Universities have an opportunity to give students practical tools they can use both on campus and in everyday life.

BC universities — could SKY Campus be the next step in your student wellbeing strategy?

Tag a student, professor, student services team or university in Vancouver or BC who should know about SKY Campus. 👇

✨ Vancouver, this is what community feels like. ✨

An evening of music, meditation, laughter and connection at the Art of Living Centre in Downtown Vancouver. 🧘‍♀️🎶

We were so happy to welcome members of the Mongolian community in Vancouver for a beautiful evening where we explored simple ways to reduce stress, calm the mind and feel more balanced — all while enjoying the warmth and energy of being together.

From meditation and chants to music, smiles and shared moments, the evening reminded us that sometimes all we need is to pause, breathe and connect. 💛

Thank you to everyone who came and brought such wonderful energy into the space. Karthik Chatapuram Balpreet 'Chi' Kukreja BC Mongolian Community 🇲🇳

WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY | September 10

Every life is precious. Every heart deserves to be heard. And no one should have to carry their pain alone.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reminds us that each moment is the start of a new life. Problems will be there in life, but you are bigger than the problem. In moments when life feels overwhelming, what we most need is not judgement, but connection, someone who will listen, someone who will care, someone who will simply be there.

Gurudev encourages us to reach out to those around us. When we see someone struggling, He says “Let us not just walk past them. A conversation, a compassionate presence, a few moments of genuine human connection can bring hope where there seemed to be none.”

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, let us make a simple commitment: to notice, to listen, to reach out, and to remind one another that no difficult moment is the whole of life. There is always hope beyond this moment. There is always help. There is always someone who cares.

If you or someone you know is thinking about su***de in Canada, call or text 9-8-8 for the Su***de Crisis Helpline, available 24/7.

With compassion and a commitment to a happier, healthier and more peaceful society, Art of Living Canada 🧡🙌🏼

We all face challenges of varying intensities in life. Have you ever wondered how breathwork and meditation can help you navigate these difficulties? When you meditate, you tap into an inner strength, stability, and joy.

This creates a deep peace of mind that remains undisturbed by external chaos. Achieving this state doesn’t mean life becomes dull or that you feel less; rather, it brings a profound sense of tranquility and serenity.

In this feature, Marcy Jackson shares her powerful story of survival, overcoming challenges, and finding lasting peace.
