Why Ayurveda - History - Aromatherapy

Educational Objectives:

Our mission is to provide a thorough understanding of Ayurveda, "the oldest healing system in the world", and its applications for individual and community health. We encourage our students to see the world through Ayurveda's eyes as the dance of doshic energies, and to see individuals wholistically as body-mind-spirit. We train our students to identify imbalances as chaos-being created by actions, genetics, and environmental factors, and to chart a course of lifestyle changes which will create harmony. The graduates are trained to be educators in the prevention of disease and are encouraged to become a focal point within their communities.

We support the concepts that health is a journey, that remembering who we really are can return us to our purpose here on earth, and that alignment with our spiritual nature is the end of all dis-ease.

Our highest vision sees our students as teachers to all those who come to them in need of insight and as healers of themselves, their families, their communities, and ultimately the world. If our vision is great, it is because we stand on the shoulders of Ayurveda's giants. We aspire that our students and their visions be greater yet.

This course is designed for paramedical participants, especially physiotherapists, massage therapists, or estheticians, accupuncturists and health consultants who do not diagnose or prescribe. They are educated to execute prescribed Ayurvedic treatments correctly and to offer dietetic consultations for specific bodytypes.
