SKY Campus Happiness Retreat is a total well-being training offered to thousands of university students, faculty, and staff across the country. Participants gain foundational stress-management skills, develop a personalized evidence-based breathing and meditation practice, learn a short personal yoga practice, and increase social connection and leadership skills. The SKY Happiness Retreat introduces Sudharshan Kriya (SKY), an evidence-based meditation practice integrated with breathwork that can significantly increase one's well-being and calmness, and significantly reduce stress and anxiety. In addition to breathwork, yoga, and evidence-based meditation, the course features interactive group processes, experiential learning, and emotional intelligence training. It's one of the coolest places to connect with yourself, make awesome friends, and, most importantly, to have fun!
Recent research studies conducted at Yale University and Harvard University show that SKY Breath Meditation is the most powerful and beneficial program for student mental health and well-being, with improvement attested in six areas, including, relief from depression, stress-reduction, mental health, mindfulness, positive affect, social connectedness, better sleep quality and resiliency against anticipatory stress.
