What you can expect:

We invite you to explore the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in the healing energy of Rishikesh, India. At our Vedic academy, accomplished teachers of Ayurveda will guide you through the ayurvedic constitutions, the science of herbal healing, dietary recommendations and stress relief techniques. Apart from theoretical knowledge, this course gives you the great opportunity to witness the health benefits of Ayurveda first-hand. 

What is Ayurveda about?

As one of the oldest natural healing systems, Ayurveda translates to ‘the science of longevity‘. This holistic approach to healing has emerged from the ancient Vedic culture and treats the human being as whole, viewing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing as equal. In Ayurveda, the term ‘healthy‘ means total satisfaction of the sense organs, mind and soul. 

How does it work?

Over thousands of years, Ayurveda has proven its effectiveness and still plays a big role in modern life. Especially in today‘s busy world, stability and routine can be difficult to maintain. While most of the Western therapy forms work with uniform, rather impersonal approaches, Ayurveda shifts the attention towards more personalized treatments. By maintaining the natural balance of body and mind, root causes of ailments can be targeted and diseases can be prevented right from the start.
