OVERVIEW

Ayurveda is a spiritual science based on Sankhya and Vedic philosophies that provide the framework for understanding the nature of the universe and health. This weaves physical, emotional and spirituality into a precise science of health and wellness that can create harmony in every aspect of life. The concepts, principles, understanding of health and disease will be presented with a series of lectures and discussions. Sanskrit terminology will be introduced along with Ayurvedic anatomy and physiology. There will be a quiz at the end of every topic to assess students’ knowledge of the concepts.

Supplementing the academic studies, there will be webinars to teach the practical aspects of Ayurveda as a living science.
