Ayurveda, which is officially recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), allows millions of people around the world to live in good health and in perfect harmony with their bodies and their environment.

If one were to translate Ayurveda, one could literally use the following three words: Science of Life, or Science of Longevity.

Ayurveda is, above all, a state of mind, wisdom, and principles acquired thousands of years ago and transmitted from generation to generation. Originally from India, Ayurveda is a holistic approach based on the principle of balance and uniqueness. The individual is taken in his entirety, that is to say in his bodily, mental, and spiritual dimension. The goal is to achieve both internal and external balance.

Each person is considered unique and with natural characteristics which cannot be found in anyone else. That’s why, with Ayurveda, there is no miracle cure or magic pill. Each action and each therapy recommended depends not only on the individual’s uniqueness but also on the imbalance, which may affect him at any given moment.

Learning Ayurveda is discovering a natural practice which is non-invasive, non-medicinal, respectful of the individual, and that can support cognitive functions, strengthen the immune system, and even slow down the aging process.

It’s in this spirit that Ayurveda seeks remedies in what is known as universal medicine or natural pharmacopeia. Indeed, we find in nature a whole array of solutions that allow us to restore the imbalances we may suffer from with oils, plants, respect for cycles, etc.

Learning to work with Ayurveda means mastering the disciplines that compose it. In addition to the critical nutritional dimension, and to the treatment of the various toxins that pollute the body, meditation-based approaches, and physical exercises, are also an integral part of Ayurveda.

Our course as an Ayurveda Practitioner is recognized by three international accreditation bodies. It will allow you to learn, at your own pace, all of the fundamental principles of Ayurveda.

You will discover how the universe is understood through the five elements which also permeate us. Through this vision of the cosmos and of the individual, you will learn to recognize the three doshas which are the fundamental energies present in each of us in varying degrees depending on our history or diet.

You will also acquire the skills necessary to perform a personalized and accurate diagnosis. You will do this by examining the pulse, the face, the tongue, and the eyes. You will then learn how to set up a treatment that includes the detoxification of the body, an individualized diet, the practice of specialized massages or self-massages, and the recommendation of a daily routine.

The Ayurveda practitioner course that we offer is open to all, without any prerequisites of diploma, training, or previous professional experience.

This is an excellent opportunity for those of you who already practice a holistic discipline (meditation practitioners, wellness masseurs, yoga practitioners, naturopaths, etc.), or professionals (dietitians, social workers, etc.) to acquire a new qualification to extend your range of care.

The training is also intended for those who, with no professional objective, wish to acquire the skills and knowledge which will enable them to assist their relatives and friends to enjoy healthier and more natural lives.

Once registered on the training platform, you will have immediate access to all 18 modules. Each module is available in PDF format and downloadable audio, and includes a theoretical part and a series of exercises. You will also find videos illustrating different massage techniques.

A knowledge test will allow you to test your knowledge at the end of each lesson. Once you have studied all the modules, you will take the final exam where an 80% success rate will allow you to obtain the certification. In case of failure, you can retake the test at no additional cost.

You will also be able to participate in the forum of exchanges and discussions with other students and interact with the trainers if you have any questions on specific concepts.

We all have obligations, be they family-based, professional, or social, and time is often a precious resource whose scarcity can limit the actions or hobbies in which we want to engage.

With this in mind, we wanted to allow you to access the lessons at your own pace, depending on your availability. You will study as you wish, whenever you want.

Our only goal is that you succeed in your learning process. For this reason you have unlimited and permanent access to all the teaching aids for each module.

Just like with time, finances can be a barrier to deciding to register. Ayurveda courses are often offered in the form of weekend seminars, spread over time, at sometimes very prohibitive rates that may exceed 2,000 dollars over time. Others, more affordable, also have time constraints and fixed dates.

This is not our philosophy. We are committed to bringing to the broadest number of people this comprehensive and exciting certification course on the benefits of Ayurveda, a discipline dedicated to well-being and long-term health.

It’s in this spirit that we offer for a limited time the Ayurveda practitioner course at the rate of $129 instead of $575.

Please note that once you register, you will receive a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to change your mind and to get a no questions asked refund for your registration.
