How to Study Ayurveda?
“To better understand the mysteries of the Universe”. “To come to know who I really am”. “To better live in harmony with Nature”. These are just a few of the many reasons we hear why our students are attracted to Ayurveda. As abstract and varied as the reasons may be, one of the most practical and compelling reasons to learn Ayurveda is that it is a highly effective method of prevention and a natural means for the reversal of disease.
In today’s day and age, we can no longer depend on our doctors to “fix us”. Each of us must be empowered with the knowledge and skills to take our physical health and wellbeing into our own hands and make it personal.
Ayurveda is a multi-modality approach to creating optimal health, and when guided by a qualified practitioner, the results can be impressive!
