Program Overview

The School of Ayurveda provides a well-rounded overview of Ayurveda’s foundations, history, and philosophies, in both theory and practice. Whether you seek the wisdom of Ayurveda to complement your life, launch a professional career, or enhance an existing holistic practice, this 18-month training & certification program is where you need to be!

The goal of the program is to give you the knowledge and confidence you need to practice Ayurveda and to be able to provide yourself and your community with practical, actionable advice on how to improve their health. If you are new to Ayurveda, it will be a time to immerse yourself in its language and philosophies from both a theoretical and practical standpoint.

The 18-month program also reinforces the clinical focus of Ayurvedic practice, combining classroom learning and supervised time in the clinic. Successful completion of this 18-month program qualifies an individual as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor.

As qualified Counselors, individuals can focus on advanced theoretical principles of Ayurveda, methods of diagnosis, disease pathology, internal medicine, clinical assessment and consultation, advanced treatment plans, herbal formulas, along with supporting studies of Panchakarma and subtle energies. The successful completion of this program is frequently a precursor to having one's own holistic health practice, and at the very least, is a catalyst for improvements in one’s professional and personal pursuits.

Student Testimonials

The School of Ayurveda has been an expansive certification program. I believe is one of those programs that change your life for the better. the staff is very understanding and flexible with allowing you to study and absorb the information at your own pace. Both Kathryn and Rachael are super knowledgeable, loving and caring. I recommend anyone that will like to deepen their knowledge on Ayurveda to take this certification.

- Veronica Cruz, Florida

The School of Ayurveda takes the vastness this ancient holistic science and simplifies it into language so easy to digest it feels like opening one’s eyes to reality. Head Instructor and school founder Kathryn Stoerzbach distills esoteric concepts to elementary foundations of elements, tastes, and senses. Throughout the program I saw expansion into the broad language of Ayurveda, followed by a condensation into foundational language. It has made it so I feel confident in my professional massage practice to incorporate Ayurvedic language to my clients, bringing their oftentimes confusing pathologies to easily understood elemental principles. The School of Ayurveda’s Level 1 program is a wonderfully intimate setting with a compassionate, humorous, wise and beautifully human teacher who gently guides the student to proficiency. I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to broaden their understanding of the world through a holistic and ancient lens.

The School of Ayurveda is a really good option for those interested in learning such a rich lifestyle. You'll learn from well prepared teachers and you will have a lot of fun! It was a great experience. I can't wait until next time to start the next level! It is worth every penny.

- Nicole Corpion, Florida

Attending the School of Ayurveda is the best thing I could have done. Not only is the program full of information but the instructors come with a wealth of knowledge and experience. They take something that is complex and make it easy to understand. Best of all they make Ayurveda come to life and have meaning so that it becomes that much easier to integrate the practices into everyday life for myself and my clients.
