If you have a passion for Ayurveda and want to become an Ayurveda therapist, our course is designed for you. We believe that Ayurveda cannot be learned solely through textbooks and lectures. That’s why we provide our students with hands-on experience and the opportunity to live and breathe Ayurveda while they learn.
Anybody with an interest in Ayurveda is welcome to join. People looking to heal themselves and others, therapists, healers, doctors, naturopaths, herbalists and Yoga teachers would especially benefit from this course as it would add a new dimension to their practice.
Prior knowledge of Ayurveda and other medical sciences is welcome but not mandatory.
