Why Is Sudarshan Kriya The Most Powerful Breathing Technique?

SKY is a powerful rhythmic breathing technique being practiced by over 450 million worldwide. SKY uses specific cyclical, rhythmic patterns of breath to bring the mind and body into a relaxed yet wakeful state. No matter what your state of mind is, 10 minutes of SKY breathing will instantly calm you down.

Cognized by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the practice is concluded with an effortless meditative state where practitioners report clarity of mind, prolonged moments of thoughtlessness, slower and steadier heart rate, and calmness of being.

The benefits of SKY are backed by more than 70 independent and credible studies carried out across four continents and published in peer-reviewed journals. The practice works by reducing stress—a key factor that negatively affects the body’s immune neuro-endocrine axis.
