The Ayurveda Institute of America (AIA) welcomes you to embark on a journey to learn Ayurveda and get involved in this pioneering work of reshaping our healthcare system to a holistic healthcare model for the 21st Century.

Healthcare in the United States is changing. In the 21st Century, more people are using complementary and alternative medicine approaches such as Ayurveda, to solve their health problems because these therapies incorporate emotions, thoughts, beliefs, family relationships, culture and environment in maintaining health and wellness.

Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words: “ayu” (life) and “veda” (wisdom or science). This 5,000 year old wisdom is part of the world's oldest Vedic spiritual system which achieves harmony between Body-Mind-Spirit. Ayurvedic science is aimed at Preservation of health and Prevention of disease by establishing balance through nutrition, herbs, meditation, and daily routine. Western medicine takes care of the physical body and its systems. Ayurvedic science provides the knowledge to unfold the reality beyond the physical body and achieve the harmony with the Universe. The World Health Organization recognizes Ayurveda as a natural health care system.

AIA offers a quality education in Ayurveda leading to a “Diploma in Ayurvedic Sciences.” This 18 month, California state approved program offers a solid foundation in the history and practice of Ayurveda, and clinical experience under the supervision of some of the most respected Ayurvedic scholars and practitioners in the world.
