The Art of Living and the International Day of Happiness

The Art of Living and the International Day of Happiness (March 20)

Each of us strives for happiness. Everything we do in life - friendships, family, work - is to be happy. However, in the stressful everyday life, happiness escapes us and we have a hard time finding the inner harmony that everyone is so hard to find. The need to pay attention to how to feel happy is increasingly urgent in today's world.

March 20th has been declared the International Day of Happiness by the UN

As a UN partner organization, The Art of Living Worldwide will participate in the International Day of Happiness with various events.

In Bulgaria, The Art of Living will organize:

Happiness programs The Art of Living in Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Stara Zagora, Veliko Tarnovo, Pleven, Targovishte, Shumen and other cities.

The Art of Living - Happiness Program is an extremely effective program for dealing with stress and developing one's full human potential. A unique part of the program is a complex of yoga positions and breathing techniques that completely release emotional and physical stress, bring peace and vitality to the mind and body, improve concentration and memory, and strengthen the immune system.

The course also includes basic principles for a fulfilling life, as well as individual and group processes that challenge you to look at life from a new, brighter, and broader perspective.
