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:

  • Weekly Modules

    Your training includes 8 3-hour weekly video classes, plus 2 live interactive mentoring sessions to maintain pace, ask questions, and interact with sudents, for a total of 26 hours of class time. All classes are recorded and available for review at your convenience with unlimited access.

  • Experientials

    Ayurveda is experiential, meaning our wisdom of this science deepens the more we have direct experiences of its benefits. This is a core element of your training. Your success is not measured by tests or grades, but rather by your own attentive engagement with nature and the teachings.

  • Home Study

    At home practices encourage you to deepen your relationship with nature - to live Ayurveda naturally, and cultivate your own direct experience and wisdom. Prompts include nature walks, explorations of the qualities of herbs & spices, 5-element contemplations, and compassionate self-enquiry.

  • Online Community

    You will enjoy an exclusive, online community with fellow students to share insights, pose questions, answer prompts, gather research, and learn from one another.
