The Happiness Program teaches breathing techniques and knowledge that will make a huge positive impact on your life because they are proven to reduce stress and increase joy. As a Happiness Program participant you will learn to master several practical and powerful tools that will benefit you for the rest of your life. You find you have the power to create a joyous life that is on-purpose, the confidence to stretch and grow beyond limiting beliefs, and the ability to lead a deeply fulfilling life. The centerpiece of the Happiness Program is the Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful time tested technique that uses specific, natural rhythms of the breath to release stress and toxins.
