ART Excel programme for kids next
week

MUSCAT — The Art of Living
(AOL) will be organising its acclaimed ART Excel Programme, an exclusive
all-round training in excellence to children between the age of 8 and 14 in
Muscat. The six-day course will be held from July 4 to July 9. Timings are
9.30 am to 12.30 pm. Designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of
Living Foundation, the programme offers practical tools that enable children
to effectively handle stress and negative emotions such as fear, anger and
frustration at a younger age.
Aimed at all-round training in excellence, it brings about perceptible
changes in the personality of participants. Using special breathing
techniques, participants learn to attain peace of mind, which leads to an
improved memory and helps them concentrate. “Through simple play-way
techniques and awareness games, yoga and breathing techniques, children
develop their social and leadership skills and learn problem solving
strategies,” said Kamal Khimji (pictured), resident ART Excel, YES (Youth
Empowerment Seminar), Part 1 and Sahaj Samadhi teacher from The Art of
Living Foundation.
“Awareness discussions on food, society and other issues help them break out
of their limited world and see a brighter world around them,” she added. The
course also includes several processes to inculcate human values such as
co-operation, sharing, service to others, respect for self and others and
compassion in children. The programme will be held at MQ Way No 1735,
House No 2696. For further information and registration, call: 95978736 or
