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.
