Educational Mission
The School of Ayurveda is committed to offering the most complete and well-rounded educational experience through a combination of comprehensive theory, hands-on training, and understanding the universal spiritual foundations of life and health.
Our unique training process aims to inspire students’ thirst for understanding by creating an internally developed education rather than the notion of external acquisition model. Through engendering students to ask more questions rather than be flooded with answers; to favor intuition over memorization; to experience knowledge as more than just as a part of career – but to realize it as a part of their entire present life experience; students are able to assimilate intellectual understanding into experiential world wisdom. We find this model to be a more organic and natural approach to learning and our students graduate with confidence in their, studies and as well, their life path.
Ayurveda is much more than the ‘science of medicine’; it is defined as the ‘science of life’. Our Ayurvedic program prepares students physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, with the insights and ability to harmoniously live their lives and to help others understand and harmonize the wholeness of their lives. This ability is due to understanding and working with the underlying laws of nature.
This school also is dedicated to the integration of authentic, ancient Vedic education with the modern thought – especially incorporating the most enlightened Western ideas of today. We dedicate ourselves to bridging the semantic gap between Eastern and Western schools of thought.
The goal of the program is to keep Ayurveda relevant for the times, and so incorporates spiritual, intuitive, and energy methods that, when possible, can achieve faster healing times than with herbs and other therapies. In this dawning, golden age, students are taught to see clients as whole and divine rather than see them as disease—as was the past western paradigm.

Teaching Style
Our teaching emphasis direct experience through hands-on consultations, and how to think and question.
Memorization of more than the Ayurvedic essentials over-burdens the practitioner and separates them from the human experience during consultations.
Innate Healing Gifts, Intuition and Wisdom cannot be memorized — yet they are the keys to becoming a master healer.
Education is a development from within, not an accretion from without; it comes through workings of natural instincts and not in response to external force; it is an expansion of natural powers, not an acquisition of information; it is life itself, not a preparation for a future state remote in interests and characteristics from the life of childhood. – Rousseau

Hands-On Consultation Internship
We have found true learning is an understanding resulting from direct experience.
We provide our students with direct—hands-on training from the third month. Students begin their internship consultations with 2-3 clients a month.
