Either start with our self-paced taster course, 'Know Your Dosha', or join our 33 hour CPD-certified ‘Introduction to Ayurveda’ course. This online immersion course has a focus on understanding yourself and your close community. The course is designed to take three months but you have six months access to materials and tutorials. We'll cover everything you need to know to start applying Ayurveda’s wisdom on diet, lifestyle and herbs to your daily life to improve your health and well-being. With a range of content (including live tutorials, videos, PDFs, a community forum, health diary, quizzes and case studies) the course offers both theoretical and practical learning to bring the concept of the dosha (mind-body types) to life. All content is direct from the classical Ayurvedic texts combined with modern interpretation, supported by research. You may then decide to continue learning Ayurveda with us, eventually gaining professional qualifications.
