Workshop Participant, 2014
North Carolina, US
Don't miss the opportunity to learn from Jessica. The info she shares is accessible, gentle and easy to incorporate into life. I should know. She helped me out of a month of sickness in two weeks. Now I feel better than I have in over 10 years.
AYU Academy student, 2019
Practicing Nurse in the US
What was critical to me was finding a program that offered authentic Ayurvedic knowledge and training - learning Sanskrit, mastering basic Ayurvedic principles, consistent and regular use of the classical texts and being taught by qualified professionals. I have found all of this and more in AYU Academy. The depth and breadth of this program instills confidence that I will be able to practice the science of Ayurveda and its clinical application competently.
AYU Academy student, 2021
Studied Ayurveda for 10 years in the US
I have learned more in my first two months at ĀYU Academy than I did in a year and a half of study at my previous school. I am not just regurgitating the material, but thinking and contemplating what I am learning.
