“For every emotion, there is a corresponding rhythm in the breath. Just as emotions affect our patterns of breathing, we can bring about changes in our mental and behavioural patterns by altering the rhythms of our breath.”

- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Art of Living Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation offering, education and well-being programmes designed to strengthen individuals and support whänau and communities. 

Our approach integrates time-tested breathwork (pranayama), movement (yoga), meditation, and practical life skills - tools that support emotional regulation, nervous system balance and resilience.

At the heart of these programmes is the indigenous wisdom of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of the Art of Living, acknowledged as the kaitiaki/caretaker of knowledge systems, grounded in a deep connection to breath, nature and consciousness.
