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.
