What do all people from every corner of our planet have in common? We all strive for happiness. We search for it and spend our entire lives wondering where it is, whether what we experience is truly it, and how we can attain it. At times, we long for a place where we can feel happy and at peace. In our minds, we travel there and imagine what it would be like if it really existed. Well, today it does! And it’s called the Center for Happiness.
The idea of a Center for Happiness did not originate with us. It comes from the founder of the Art of Living Foundation – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who envisioned places where everyone could go to recharge and rejuvenate.
We all know that happiness isn’t just one single thing. It’s a combination of our physical and emotional states. That’s why in the Centers for Happiness, people can meditate, practice yoga, enjoy healthy food, relax their bodies with massages, and prevent illness through pulse diagnosis. All of these elements come together to nourish both body and spirit in one place.
At the Centers for Happiness, you’ll find an organic food store, because ecologically clean food is an essential part of feeling good. Food is a necessity and a pleasure, and it should provide all the nutrients needed for the body’s proper functioning, protecting us from disease and giving us energy. Our BIO shop offers pure and healthy food products, with real taste, preserved nutrients, and guaranteed origin.
The yoga hall will give you the opportunity to move and relax your body. Yoga means union between the body, breath, and mind. Regular yoga practice brings the mind to the present moment, releases stress, balances emotions, and has a positive impact on our entire system.
In the yoga hall, you can also participate in numerous practical seminars and courses that will teach you yoga exercises, breathing techniques, how to manage your mind, and even how to prepare delicious and healthy meals.
The Ayurvedic center will energize you with food tailored to your body. Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences, and combining them will intensify your experiences and strengthen your body. Ayurveda means "science of life" and while traditional medicine tends to focus on treating disease with medication, Ayurveda offers knowledge on how to prevent disease and eliminate its root causes.
Through pulse diagnosis, the Ayurvedic specialist can easily detect imbalances in your body and recommend effective treatment.

The energy radiated by such a center is enormous. It naturally affects not only everyone who visits, but also the neighborhood and city where it’s located. Because when so many healthy and happy souls gather in one place, they inevitably influence those around them.
After completing the Happiness Courses, the change in participants’ lives is evident—even for people who were already happy. Through the breathing techniques taught in these courses, you touch your soul and see that everything is okay; that everything else is outside of you and nothing is truly threatening. Participants gain hope, feel calmer, and truly appreciate the present moment.
The Centers for Happiness are a small step that creates change for thousands of people, boosting positive emotions and improving our health. The positive vibration generated in these places helps people become calmer, healthier, and more balanced. That’s why it’s important to have more Centers for Happiness.
Everyone who is part of these special spaces becomes an ambassador of happiness – and together we spread a wave of joy that literally changes the world. Step by step, this is how great change happens.
