By the end of 1981, PRÓ-VIDA had over 12,000 students. In 1989, PRÓ-VIDA began offering courses in multiple cities in the São Paulo and Minas Gerais states. In 1990, the first international course was held in Buenos Aires, where the PRÓ-VIDA headquarters were later established in 1995. In 1996, PRÓ-VIDA relocated its São Paulo headquarters to the Alto de Pinheiros district.

The courses are taught by instructors who are trained among the students, some of whom had been students under Dr. Celso Charuri.

Additionally, the courses include a practical component where participants can train in relaxation methods and mental visualization techniques.
