Ayurvedic Studies Program: Vijaya, Michael and Sarada's Core
Training
Renowned author and Ayurvedic Physician Dr. Vasant
Lad's Ayurvedic Studies Certificate Program, where Vijaya
Stallings, M.A. (Class of 1991), Michael Reid Kreuzer, D.Ayur.
(Class of 1998), and Sarada Von Sonn, P.K.S. (Class of 1995)
studied, is the most comprehensive clinical training in Ayurveda
offered in the United States and is the only program taught full
time by an actual Doctor of Ayurveda (B.A.M.S. and M.A.Sc.) with
39 years of clinical experience. Dr. Lad, a renowned author,
has been recognized since 1984 as the foremost expert of
Ayurveda in the United States.
The Ayurvedic Studies Program
is the foundation of the educational programs offered at the
Ayurvedic Institute, founded by Dr. Vasant Lad in 1984 as the
premier college of Ayurveda in the USA. It is designed as a
thorough introduction to the medical science of Ayurveda for lay
persons and medical professionals. The program is likely to be a
challenge for the layperson. While a background in anatomy and
physiology, biology, and medical terminology are quite helpful,
the required anatomy and physiology course work supports the
layperson’s comprehension. Additionally, there are many Sanskrit
terms and new concepts in this program. The first quarter covers
basic principles and concepts. The second quarter addresses
Ayurvedic philosophy, nutrition, the causes and progress of
imbalance and disease and client assessment. The third quarter
examines Ayurvedic management, treatment and rejuvenation.
