What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda means the Science of Life, or Longevity. It is a profound wisdom tradition dating back 5-8,000 years. Ayurvedic nutrition offers us a powerful and proven pathway to wholesomeness, optimal wellness, radiant health and vibrant living. It is time-tested, nature-based, and rooted in the fundamental principle that you are what you eat; that the distinction between health and disease is the quality of your digestion.

What This Training Includes:

  • Saturday Modules

  • Experientials

    Ayurveda is experiential, meaning our wisdom of this science deepens the more we have direct experiences of its benefits. This will be a core element of your training. Your success is not measured by tests or grades, but rather by your attention, engagement, integration and inspiration.
