The breath based meditation technique the Art of Living Foundation teaches is simple and life transforming. I overcame many health issues after learning and practicing it. I love it.

In a beautiful, historical building - the Art of Living center in DC is breathtaking. The energy of the place is peaceful and welcoming. Everyone I met there is so kind and gentle, and full of life. I recently took a Sahaj Samadhi meditation course there and it was life-changing! I highly recommend the Art of Living program for everyone.

I did the Art of Living workshop around 12 years ago, and it has truly improved the quality of my life in every aspect. I visit the Washington DC center when visiting the city.

Its an awesome place to learn breathing techniques, meditation and practical wisdom for life. Its really well kept, and has a really nice peaceful vibration.

Nestled in a nice quiet neighborhood in the city, it’s an excellent place to find peace and go deep.

My highlight from Art of Living has been the Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique, but there are so many more aspects to them.

The volunteers and instructors here are really friendly and helpful.

Would highly recommend this place!

A place with really positive energy and fantastic environment for meditation. Everyone is really friendly, there’s a strong sense of community.

To live requires a pause, a reset, and a dive to break the old patterns and allow for expanded awareness. The Art of Living programs offer practical threads to stitch the fabric of life into a beautiful canvass. The Happiness Program is a breathtaking pause, while the Art of Silence program offers a deep and beautiful reset. The threads of wisdom offered by its founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar transform life into a rippling canvass, expressing happiness rather than being in pursuit of it. To live, is indeed the rarest and most beautiful thing in the world.

If you wish to transform your life
If you wish to learn about your higher self,
Or you are simply in search of inner peace, happiness and tranquility.
Do Silence Course, see the changes as little as in 3 days.
I did my silence course, and it has changed my life.
Soham is the vibration of universe
EXPERIENCE IT

Here you will find a one-of-a-kind self development program, as well as a chance to be a part of the world’s biggest volunteer based organization

It is a must visit place for people like to learn yoga, pranayama, Meditation and all ancient teachings.

Sudarshan Kriya technique which is taught in Happiness Program is the best gift I ever got it for myself! Love this place and group! Super positive, relaxing and rejuvenating experience!

Very peaceful ambiance and positive vibes inside the center! The breathing technique and the meditation for the mindfulness being taught here are practical and easy to follow. Regular practice of these techniques has helped me significantly staying calm and centered in the daily life. The staffs and the teachers are super friendly. There are free meditation sessions facilitated by the center on weekly basis. I'll recommend every one to visit the center, and attend at least one of the sessions.

Great place to visit. Serene and calming environment. The courses offered here are must do as they revitalize your mind, body and soul. Not to forget the mouthwatering food they prepare here. Overall an awesome experience:)

Learned easy and profound breathing techniques to get energized and relax at the same time, in serene and positive atmosphere. Beautiful building, happy and helpful people.

I took a course at the AoL DC center in 2011, and have been practicing the techniques ever since. It’s a wonderful community I have benefitted immeasurably from, even if I have been touch-and-go over the years due to work changes and personal life changes. Thx to all those who make it work!

Such peaceful and positive vibes, lovely and kind people around, delicious food, great spiritual learning, I always felt so much at home. Everytime I visit DC, it is in my priority list to be visited. I am ready to travel 4-5 hours during weekend just to spend time in this great place. Also, my friends loved it!

Good Place to get yourself stress free. Also this center offers weekly SudarshanKriya followups, happiness program, silence programs.

This is a beautiful place and a very spiritual environment for yoga, meditation and festival celebrations! I had my very deep meditation experiences here. People from all over come here to celebrate, enjoy music, delicious food and get togethers. The garden in front of the center is lovely with trees, waterfall, birds and a walking track. It really makes me wonder of such a serene place amidst the city crowd! Love to visit this place again and again!

I learnt advanced meditation techniques and breathing exercises which helped me immensely. Very grateful:)
