The Art of Living DC Metro The Art of Living Happiness Program - breathing techniques, knowledge and processes to increase happi "The secret lies in our own breath.

Overlooking the Meridian Hill park, is the Art of Living Happiness Center (previously The Sri Sri Center for Peace and Meditation) is a historic mansion in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of DC . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as the Mansion at 2401 15th Street, NW. The Center, a place of uplifting spiritual energy and serenity, offers self-development and wellness programs serving the DC Metro community. The core offering of Art of Living is the Happiness Program. The Happiness Program teaches breathing techniques and knowledge that will make a huge positive impact on your life because they are proven to reduce stress and increase joy. As a Happiness Program participant you will learn to master several practical and powerful tools that will benefit you for the rest of your life. You find you have the power to create a joyous life that is on-purpose, the confidence to stretch and grow beyond limiting beliefs, and the ability to lead a deeply fulfilling life. The centerpiece of the Happiness Program is the Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful time tested technique that uses specific, natural rhythms of the breath to release stress and toxins. Through breathing exercises, certain breathing techniques and some practice of meditation, we can rekindle positive vibrations within and around us." -- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of the Art of Living Foundation

You're not failing at your goals. Your goals are failing you. (Here's something that actually works.)

You know that feeling. You're lying in bed, scrolling through social media, looking at everyone else's "manifestation wins" while your own vision board collects dust?

Or when you make it to yoga class once, feel amazing, swear you'll go three times a week... and then it's March and you haven't been back?
Yeah. We've all been there.

Here's the thing nobody admits: The problem isn't you. It's that nobody taught us how to actually create sustainable change. We got "be more positive!" and "just manifest it!" but not the real tools.

In Manifest 2026 — a workshop for people done with the toxic positivity and ready for actual systems that work.

This is for you if:
✓ You're tired of starting over every Monday
✓ You want community, not just another self-help guru
✓ You're ready to be honest about what's actually not working

Meet your guides:
Shobha Bagrecha brings decades of breathwork and transformation work (the kind that actually helps, not the Instagram version)
Diego Cob is a recovering overachiever who learned the hard way that burnout isn't a badge of honor

Together, they've created an intensive experience that's equal parts strategy session and healing space.

Space is limited to 20 people per session because this is intimate, not a lecture hall.

The Meditative Stitch: Meditation and Miniature Embroidery Session
Session Description:
This session begins with a gentle 30-minute introduction and guided breathwork to help participants settle, relax, and become fully present. After this calming start, we move into miniature embroidery, where each small stitch follows the rhythm of the breath. The slow, steady movements encourage quiet focus and create a soothing meditative experience. As simple patterns take shape, participants ease into a peaceful flow—blending creativity, relaxation, and inner calm in a soft, intentional way.
