Get Started

To study ayurveda is to learn how the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected to the world around us. Ayurveda is referred to as the “sister science” of yoga and focuses primarily on lifestyle practices that support health, balance, and self-transformation. Our unique 120-hour Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist certification program incorporates yoga as the foundation for studying ayurveda. The training is a combination of live and pre-recorded classes divided into four modules, each consisting of three days, that are available for playback at any time.

In our Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist training program, you will learn the core concepts of ayurveda, including the six tastes of ayurveda, psychological and emotional concepts, and the lifestyle and philosophical applications of this ancient wisdom. You’ll learn how simple implementations of ayurvedic diets and routines can create profound transformations in your life and the lives of others. You’ll experience firsthand the rejuvenating power that comes from balancing the doshas through aligning your actions with the seasons of the year, stages of your life, and phases of the day. Immerse yourself in ayurvedic study with an enthusiastic online community, add a new dimension to your yoga teaching and personal practice and become an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist!
