A Year with The Speaker 2026

Ayurveda is a complete system—and Vasant Lad teaches it as such. A practitioner who only knows herbs can't help a client whose imbalance is rooted in planetary influences and environmental disharmony. A therapist who understands psychology but not subtle body anatomy misses the prana blocks underlying emotional patterns.

In Year with the Speaker 2026, you'll discover how:

→ Medical Jyotish reveals the blueprint underlying constitutional imbalances, making treatments more precise
→ Gemstones provide planetary remediation that complements diet, herbs, and lifestyle protocols
→ Cleansing clears physical ama so psychological and spiritual work can go deeper
→ Optimized agni transforms not just food, but emotions, experiences, and sensory input
→ Trauma work releases stuck prana that vastu and yantra help redirect into healing flow
→ Mantra, mudra, and sadhana accelerate healing at every other level when properly applied
→ Vastu harmonizes external space so internal practices have support rather than resistance

You're not learning seven separate modalities. You're learning one integrated science the way it was meant to be taught: as a seamless approach to healing body, mind, spirit, space, and destiny.

Unbroken Lineage: When you study with Vasant Lad, you receive oral transmission from a master who honors traditional practices. You're learning the complete science as an integrated whole, transmitted through an unbroken lineage for thousands of years.

Direct Access: You're not learning from a graduate of a program. You're receiving direct instruction from the founder of The Ayurvedic Institute, who has trained generations of practitioners since 1984.

Complete System: Most teachers specialize in one domain—herbs, pulse diagnosis, or panchakarma. Vasant Lad teaches the full spectrum of Ayurvedic medicine as it was meant to be learned: interconnected, integrated, and whole.

This opportunity—to spend a full year with a master teacher who embodies the entire tradition—is increasingly rare in the modern world.

This program is for practitioners and seekers who want the complete picture.

You're ready to move beyond fragmented education and understand how medical astrology, cleansing, psychology, and subtle practices fit together into one coherent healing system.

You'll Thrive in This Program If You're:

✦ An Ayurvedic practitioner or student expanding beyond herbs and diet into Jyotish, vastu, mantra, and subtle body work
✦ A yoga therapist or teacher integrating Ayurvedic wisdom and energetic practices into your offerings
✦ An integrative clinician (acupuncturist, naturopath, functional medicine) adding Ayurvedic tools to your practice
✦ A bodyworker or somatic therapist wanting to understand how space, sound, and subtle anatomy affect healing
✦ A mental health professional seeking Ayurvedic approaches to trauma, psychology, and nervous system regulation
✦ A longtime student of Vasant Lad who values staying connected to his teachings throughout 2026

If you're seeking a weekend introduction, this isn't for you. This year is for practitioners ready to build mastery across the full spectrum of Ayurvedic medicine.
