The Art of Living is presented as a nonsectarian movement that welcomes individuals from all religions, cultures, and backgrounds. Its doors are open to people regardless of their religious affiliation, cultural heritage, nationality, or belief system, including those who do not identify with any particular faith. This broad inclusivity is not framed as a mere tolerance of diversity, but as an explicit invitation to people from many walks of life to participate fully.

Rather than requiring adherence to a specific creed, the movement emphasizes practices such as breathing techniques, meditation, and practical wisdom. These are offered as universal tools for stress reduction, personal development, and spiritual uplift, rather than as instruments of religious conversion or doctrinal instruction. Participants are generally encouraged to retain their own religious beliefs and practices, allowing the techniques taught—such as its signature breathing methods—to function as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, existing spiritual or religious paths.

In this way, the Art of Living positions itself as a spiritual framework that can sit alongside a wide range of traditions, serving Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and those with no formal religious identity in a similar manner. Its focus remains on inner transformation through experiential practices, not on reshaping a person’s theological outlook. For many seekers, this creates a space where diverse backgrounds are not merely accommodated but integrated into a shared pursuit of greater peace, clarity, and well-being.
