Our Level 1 Program in Ayurveda is for those individuals who aspire to become Ayurvedic Consultants, helping themselves, their families, or their clients, transition to a holistic way of life, supported by a plant-based diet, nature’s life-promoting resources, and multiple natural healing modalities. Ayurveda, which means “The Science of Life,” offers its students the perennial Vedic wisdom and practical knowledge that enables its practitioners to establish an integrated life-style that nurtures and balances the body-mind and spirit. Ayurveda teaches us how to modulate our physical being, subtle mind, and the intellect, both to enhance life and fulfill its ultimate purpose.
