The Science of Light
The study of Jyotish, known as the science of light, helps us understand how patterns in the cosmos give insight to other patterns that we may find in our day-to-day experiences.
By learning about and understanding these patterns, we can gain insights to optimize our life. We will systematically review astronomical sciences, how they connect to astrological principles, and how those combinations give insight into life.
Vedic sciences are designed to enable us to live our best life. Ayurveda addresses our physical, mental and spiritual wellness through understanding our unique combinations of elements, doshas and gunas. Similarly, Jyotish gives us insight to the material phases of our life like family, career, relationships, financial well-being, and dwellings through the patterns found in the cosmos.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Anka Hoerster
I feel like not just my work as nurse but also my life in a human body has become so much more fluid, translucent and trusting. There is so much more that I need to learn before I’ll be able to effectively support others with the introduction you gave here, but every time I apply some of it already the results are so confirming and sometimes like magic.
Pavani
Overall, I cannot thank enough Dr. Lad and entire AyurPrana team for this amazing process and support. In nearly 14yrs, this is the longest spell of feeling better without dreading the next relapse. This has also allowed me to reap the benefits of my sadhana to remain in awareness. I am beating up myself for not doing this sooner! Will continue this journey…..
Pranayama Participant
I loved the ways in which you explained things to us, the joy and the good energy you transmitted. Thank you so so much! And I am grateful to Dr. Lad, such an honor to practice with him and learn from his expertise! This immersion was worth every cent, glad that I overcame the stingyness of doing something just for myself.
