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.
ĀYU Academy student, 2019
Practicing Nurse in the US
What was critical to me was finding a program that offered authentic Āyurvedic knowledge and training - learning Sanskrit, mastering basic Āyurvedic principles, consistent and regular use of the classical texts and being taught by qualified professionals. I have found all of this and more in ĀYU Academy. The depth and breadth of this program instills confidence that I will be able to practice the science of Āyurveda and its clinical application competently.
