Course Inspiration: Returning to Balance
The inspiration behind this course is the Ayurvedic ideal of “Swastha” — to be established in the Self, living in harmony with your nature (prakriti) and the world around you. Ayurveda teaches that true health is not just the absence of illness, but a state of deep inner balance, presence, and alignment.
Through this training, you will rediscover that balance. You’ll learn practical tools from Ayurveda to restore and maintain wellbeing — not through restriction, but through understanding your unique constitution and living in rhythm with nature.
As you experience how simple and powerful these practices can be, you’ll naturally feel inspired to share them with others.
This course is where the two sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda unite, offering timeless wisdom to support you — and those you serve — on the path of healing, peace, and joyful living.
Health, peace, and harmony are not far away — they are our natural state.
