What Our Students Are Saying
Amanda Adams
I am writing to tell you how excited I am to be attending your Foundations of Ayurveda online course. What first piqued my interest in Ayurveda was an introduction I received in David Winston's 2-year Clinical Herbalist class. I then went on to read Dr. Lad's book "Ayurveda the Science of Self-Healing" and what really drew me in were your YouTube videos of "The Journey Within." Listening to Dr. Lad chant fills me with wonder, brings me to tears and makes my soul feel like it's being called home. The amount of meaningful content is staggering and I am so blessed to have found you all! I have been dipping my toe with Ayurveda for just over a year now and I have met and exceeded my goal weight with the help of your cleanses and yummy healthy recipes! I want you all to know that you have made a huge impact on my life and my heart is with you! Thank you, a million times, for making Ayurveda more accessible and understandable.❤️

Sarika
All the Ayurprana sessions including the foundations of Ayurveda are awesome. Thank you so much. I always look forward to Dr. Lad's teachings . Watching his webinars or reading his books is one of the essential things I need to do everyday as a part of my daily routine. Thank you to the wonderful and inspirational team of Ayurvedic practitioners and doctors Sneha, Mitesh, Vrinda, Nishita, Sean, Devang.
Dallas Dominique Knowles
The Foundations of Ayurveda course was exceptional and exceeded my expectations! The teachers were extraordinary– full of knowledge and passion. The experience was educational, inspirational and soul fulfilling! I am so excited to embark on a deeper journey with The Ayurvedic Institute in the near future. Thank you for this magical weekend!
Vishal Prajapati
This was amazing course. I have been practicing spiritual practices of Sadhguru and may I got to know about Dr Lad when there was a talk between the two. I have been following Ayurprana+ & Dr. Lad since then. I am always impressed when I get to know more about this ancient knowledge. I think there is no difference between Yoga and Ayurveda. I would like to continue this journey and keep learning about Ayurveda. Hope I can be part of your team in some ways.
