LEVEL 1 - AYURVEDIC HEALTH COUNSELOR PROGRAM

The Ayurvedic Health Counselor (AHC) certification program is based on the first goal of Ayurveda— Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam - to preserve the health of a healthy person. Students will gain the tools necessary to restore and preserve health and prevent disease. These tools include a comprehensive nutritional education (Ahara), daily routines and practices to maximize health (Vihar), as well as a clear understanding of the mind and thought processes (Vichara) and their relationship to well-being. Upon successful completion of the AHC course you will be awarded an Ayurvedic Health Counselor certificate.

​

All of the training classes are live streamed and recorded, so online students are able to tune into a live class and interact with fellow students and faculty.

​

“In 2007 I knew for sure that Ayurveda was something I wanted to pursue on a much deeper and more informed level. I also knew that I wanted to be in a program that honored the ancient texts and yet made the information accessible for modern day application. After researching various academic options, Kerala Ayurvedic Academy was exactly the balance I was seeking…. The staff and instructors truly care about you as a person and future practitioner. Your success and increasing knowledge is part of their passion as they are aware you will impart this healing in your community. This community minded approach that Kerala Ayurveda Academy embodies makes the experience as a student unique and vital…. If you are looking for a place to learn in a systematic and comprehensive manner, while also being approached in a compassionate and clear way, Kerala Ayurvedic Academy is the place to start (or continue) your Ayurvedic Journey.” -Heather Van Dam
