Ayurveda Certification - Level 1

Ayurveda, “the science of life,” is a holistic healing tradition and a sister science of yoga that originates from the ancient Vedic culture dating back 5000 years. Ayurveda is a comprehensive system of healing based on the belief that optimal health is best achieved when the body, mind and spirit are in balance.

Each person has a unique constitution, known as a “dosha” which is determined at conception and is comprised of one or more of the five elements. The dosha not only determines an individual’s characteristics, but the knowledge of its attributes is critical to the understanding of self and the development of a comprehensive lifestyle plan to achieve optimal wellness.
