We’re living in a very interesting time on our planet. On one end of our human curiosity, we are exploring genomes and life forms on other planets. Meanwhile, we are still trying to understand the inner workings of our minds and bodies. What is the right food to eat? What is the best exercise and lifestyle for longevity? How do we find quality information, and make sense of what is seemingly contradictory? The questions are endless concerning our well-being, and that of our planet. This makes the ancient holistic science of Ayurveda more relevant than ever before.
Why become an Ayurvedic Counselor?
Meet our Academy Director, Vaidya. Jayarajan Kodikannath (BSc, BAMS) to learn about the AWC journey
Kerala Ayurveda Academy conducts training in Ayurveda for both self help and professional applications. Our first level of certification is the Ayurvedic Health Counselor program, a 600-hour, 1-year program. It is a comprehensive training in all aspects of foundational principles for living, for the self and others. We’ve been conducting this program for over a decade, enhancing its format and curriculum to match the growing needs of our pioneering Ayurvedic community in the West.
Learning from the core of your being
Imagine a body of knowledge which you learn not just with your brain, but in your body as well. Ayurveda is a living science, which means its knowledge is not based on theory alone, but actual life experience – mind, body and spirit. It means “the science of life,” and is a science beyond just human health. Ayurveda encompasses the entire universe – for everything is connected according to Ayurveda. This kind of learning is transformational! The validation of this: at each graduation ceremony, the family members of our graduates often express how they have experienced a positive shift in their entire family’s life as a result of the student’s course work. Ayurveda empowers individuals to learn from the inside out, to become the healthy change, and this unlocks unlimited potential to make a difference in the world.
the journey includes
- Core Ayurvedic principles for cultivating a holistic view of the world
- Diet, herbs and lifestyle practices
- Personalization for well-being through individual constitution
- Self-assessment and self-care tools
- Deepened sense of life purpose
- Clinical encounter training for coaching others in a preventive health lifestyle
