YES!+ is a wonderful page in my life which transformed me completely.

I used to hold lot of negative thoughts and self doubt and these two combined, hindered my progress both professionally and personally.

I have had a rough time in my office since my relations with my boss are very volatile. I was unable to take the criticism thrown at me and often retreated into my shell instead of owning up to them.

I avoided going out and socializing even though I love to meet new people simply because I lacked confidence and was scared of making a fool out of myself.

The YES!+ workshop has helped me get through all of these, esp in managing my relation with my parents and boss.

Most importantly with regular practice of Sudarshan Kriya I have been able to weed out all the self doubts and just express myself . 

The techniques I practice are awesome stress busters and I feel calm & composed, am in better control over my anger and have more say over my emotions. Now I don't feel as though I am run by my emotions rather I am in charge of them :) 

I would like to express my gratitude to Pratima di who suggested this workshop to me

Apart from these, YES!+ has provided me with a wonderful platform to socialize, meet new people from varying fields and interests and a launch pad from where I am able to do some amazing hardcore social work. 

Cheeersss!!! I would recommend all youths to join the YES!+ and feel the difference for themselves.

I did my YES!+ in February 2011 and at the time i was doing my 8th semester mandatory six months internship with the Healthcare Division of Siemens Ltd.,Worli.

Prior to the workshop, due to my hectic schedule at the site, i used to get tired a lot even before end of the day. I wished to do many things, pursue my hobbies but was unable to give my 100% due to lack of energy & lethargy.

But post workshop, I was amazed at how in just 5 days, 4 hours in the evening and subsequent regular practice of the simple yet profound techniques taught here, I was able to use the same time in a much more systematic and playful way.

Suddenly I was energetic throughout the day and could give my best in grasping and understanding all that my engineers taught me. At the same time i started pursuing my hobbies while giving quality time to my family and friends. It turned out to be the best 6 months of learning and fun in my whole engineering career.

Another important addition to my life was the confidence i gained to talk to people, in delivering my presentations in the college. This propelled me from being an average student who got 70-75% in previous semesters to score 90% in my final semester. I cleared my degree in First class with a Distinction.

Before I was a very short tempered person who use to hold on to the her past very tightly. But with the regular practice of meditations and Sudarshan Kriya along with the support of my teachers and friends now i am lot more controlled.

Its not that I don’t have bad times in life but now I have got a solution to deal with them. I do not see problems as problems anymore but as adventures.

Now I live a totally Happy, Stress-Free Life filled with Love, Laughter and Contentment :D

For me the YES!+ Workshop was a really memorable one. I found the workshop to be an interesting blend of Knowledge & Fun.

The simple & effective techniques taught on the workshop helped me a lot with my studies & also with my day-to-day life.

I have been benefited with an increase in concentration span and importantly i have also learnt to deal with my anger and stress.

I feel my personality has enhanced and with my anger under check life is merrier :)

All thanks to YES!+ & to my teachers, Dhara Di and Pratibha Di, for inspiring me to join the workshop. Had I not listened and kept doubting, i would have surely regretted on missing out on one of the most wonderful experience of my life :D

I did my YES Course (Art of Living's course for teenagers in the age group of 14-18 years) three years ago while i completed my YES!+ only a year ago.

Its only now that i am realizing the difference between life I lived, life I want to live and the life I am living now :D

Before YES!+ came along i was living in ignorance, pool of negativity and was filled with anger. I held on to my past tightly and was anxious about my future.

Then YES!+ breathed life into me. Life after YES!+ is Magical, Blissful, Divine, and Insanely Beautiful.

Its only after you try it... You will endorse it :)

P.S. I even lost 5 kgs while doing the workshop.. Thanks to all the awesome games, exercises and Suryanamskars (Sun Salutations)!! :D
