What this "art of living" course is trying to do is get everyone into the "present moment" - not think about the past, or future. Hence all the panting, hyperventilation, and arm movements while breathing in and out, and then people collapse in a heap afterwards.

IMO, the only time you can ever reach this point, is when you orgasm.

In the culture/tradition of the people who teach Art of Living, such a feeling can only happen between married couples. Perhaps I am being a little explicit here, but I see it as a way to experience euphoria (to a certain degree) without actually having sex.

Or perhaps I am uncultured and naive.
