Course Modules
Courses are designed to advance the information learned in the Foundation Program and include the essential principles, techniques, and practices clinically needed to practice as an effective Ayurveda Wellness Counselor. These courses are required for completion and are prerequisites for admission to the Clinical Supervision Program.
The Immersion Program derives its curriculum from the NAMA standards and scope of practice for the board-certified Ayurveda Health Counselor (C-AHC) level of practice. Courses cover all topics likely to be encountered on professional certification exams; these courses are strongly recommended prior to applying for the exam.
Daily Schedule
Webinars are scheduled daily from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm CST with a lunch break from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm CST. Be aware of your local time zone differences. The daily schedules are quite disciplined, however, we make every effort to create space for self-care. Do your best to commit to a home yoga practice or other exercises prior to the training. When prana flows, the mind is free to receive wisdom.
