"It is the birthright of every human being to live with a stress free mind
and a disease free body. Yet, neither at school nor at home are we taught
how to handle our negative emotions" Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
News headlines too often remind us that children and teens today contend with pressures as never before. Many lead stress-filled lives that rival that of their busy parents - from schoolwork to music lessons to after-school sports. Children today suffer from time pressure, pressure to perform and pressure to get good grades. Children also often feel that they don't "fit in" or they may be shy, self-conscious, or the victim of bullying. These and other childhood pressures take its toll on a child's health, happiness, and school performance and may lead to diminished creativity, a lack of motivation and direction, eroded self-esteem and sometimes even serious social or behavioral problems.

ART EXCEL stands for All Round Training in Excellence. As the name suggests, this course covers all aspects of the child's being - the physical, mental, spiritual.

"Just information is not education. It is culturing our behavior, culturing our attitude and the ability to perceive things better. Perception, Observation and Expression - the three aspects of education have to be improved."
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar



ART EXCEL has been taught globally since 1996 and is a comprehensive life skills and stress-management program designed for children. The programme nurtures human values in young people and supports their overall well-being by teaching them a variety of empowering techniques that foster peace of mind, mental clarity, focus, physical relaxation, health and emotional stability.

In this nurturing and stabilising course children are taught from an early age to cope effectively with the demands that lie ahead. ART EXCEL is a revolutionary concept that prepares children to take their rightful place in the world as confident and capable individuals.
