Introduction to Ayurveda – The Science of Life. Learn the basic building blocks of Ayurveda.

This introductory course takes place online over 3 months and focuses on understanding yourself and your close community. This will help you learn Ayurveda by establishing the basic building blocks and applying them to practical life. This course, like all of our courses, has a restricted number of participants, ensuring a close-knit community and fully interactive webinars to help you learn Ayurveda. There are 33 hours of work covered within the course, which can also be used as Continuing Professional Development (certified by The CPD Certification Service).

With a range of content (including live webinars, PDFs, video, a community forum, health diary, quizzes and case studies) the course offers both theoretical and practical learning to bring the concept of the doshas (mind-body types) to life. All content is direct from the classical Ayurvedic texts combined with modern interpretation, supported by research.

All of The Ayurveda Academy courses include:

• Look at your friends, family and work colleagues through the ‘dosha’ lens to enable better relationships
• Connect with nature on a regular basis, to help tune into your daily circadian rhythm as well as the season
• Prepare fresh, whole foods from organic, seasonal, local foods tailored for your dosha
• See ‘food as medicine’ and explore using some of the herbs in your kitchen spice rack to make simple home remedies for common ailments
• Tailor your lifestyle, exercise and yoga practice to your dosha
• Tread more lightly on this earth and live more sustainably by adopting Ayurvedic principles.
