AYURVEDA THERAPIST 1000 HOUR TRAINING
OVERVIEW

Ayurveda ia an ancient healing modality which has cared for the greater populations of our world over the centuries. This profound knowledge, and it's applications, comes from prakrtti (nature). It has been passed from consciouness to the intellectual level of being, enriched by sages and acharya-s as these teachings have been passed down. The transmission of this wisdom requires a dedicated teacher and a commited student to nurture and grow the fruits of Ayurveda.

The Yoga Awareness AYURVEDA THERAPIST 1000 HOUR training has been compiled by Dr B. Ganesh (India) and Ted Surman (USA) for over a decade. Together they have created a program to take a student progressively from a personal level of living Ayurveda and as their desire grows a student naturally transcends into the professional realm of Ayurveda therapy.

The pre-requiste for this training are the SADHANA trainings, which focus on Upastamba Dhyana (fundamental pillars of Ayurveda). From this foundation the Therapist training is a combination of three theroetical studies and one internship. The first of the theroetical studies is the MULA training, which focuses on Ahara Dhyana (meditation on food).The second study is the NIDANA training, which focuses on Dosha Dhyana (meditation on dosha). The third study is the KALPA training, which focuses on Roga Dhyana (meditation on disease). The forth part is the ABHYASA training, which is a one-on-one internship of practical training of the purvakarma-s. This consists of abhyasa (oil bath treatments), svedhana (heat treatments), navana (nasal lubrication) and shirodhara (head purification).
