Ayurveda
Ayurveda, the science of life, has
brought true health and wellness to
millions of individuals throughout the
ages with simple changes in daily living
practices. Incorporating just a few of
these proven methods into your lifestyle
can bring about radical changes in your
life.
This ancient art of healing has been
practiced continuously for over 5,000
years. The principles of many natural
healing systems now familiar in the
West, such as Homeopathy and Polarity
Therapy, have their roots in Ayurveda.
Ayurvedic practices restore the balance
and harmony of the individual, resulting
in self-healing, good health and
longevity.
The Ayurvedic Institute is a non-profit
501(c)3 organization that teaches the
principles and practices of Ayurveda,
the ancient science of life. We provide
authentic education in a supportive
environment that encourages the
integration of Ayurveda by individuals
into their daily living and by health
care professionals into their clinical
practices.
Educational Philosophy
At The Ayurvedic Institute, we use the
time-honored Vedic approach to
education, teaching from an oral
tradition based on personal growth
through spirituality. The teacher shares
knowledge and experiences that help the
student learn the theory and practices
of Ayurveda. Each student learns
Ayurvedic principles and practices that,
when integrated into their lifestyle,
bring peace and balance to the body,
mind and soul. We provide an environment
in which the student can find the
freedom to learn and make choices that
promote self healing.
Goals
The integration of Ayurveda with modern
medicine, yoga, Jyotish (Vedic
astrology), other healing disciplines,
and the individual Self to bring about
total health, awareness, and harmony.
It is the dream of Vasant Lad and the
goal of the Ayurvedic Institute to be
able to offer a complete program of
Ayurvedic study. This program would be
similar in content to that taught in the
traditional Ayurvedic colleges in India.
Organization
The Ayurvedic Institute was founded in
1984 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as a
501(c)(3) educational, non-profit
corporation. The Articles of
Incorporation, By-Laws and Board meeting
minutes are open to inspection by any
interested person with sufficient
advance notice. The Institute is
governed by a Board of Directors and
corporate officers, whose directives are
carried out by Institute staff members.
