Benefits of Seminar Participation

Those who cannot participate in our Ayurvedic Studies Program due to time or lifestyle constraints can participate as an alternative to the full program. Health Care Professionals can learn Ayurvedic methods to integrate into their existing practice

Students utilize the seminars to enrich their studies, focusing on subjects of personal interest, and to gain a more in-depth understanding of Ayurvedic principles introduced in the curriculum, but not examined thoroughly due to restricted class time.

Correspondence Course students or self-study students can augment their studies and focus on specific Ayurvedic topics. Prospective students often attend to meet our staff and confirm their decision to participate in ASP 1. These classes are a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Ayurveda while fulfilling professional requirements. Participants earn a Certificate of Completion, suitable for framing.

Weekend Seminars are designed to focus upon popular Ayurvedic themes. They are a mixture of popular interest and advanced Ayurvedic concepts. Vasant Lad's seminars are usually a mixture of some information that is given in the regular Ayurvedic Studies Program and additional information that is not. He generally offers four weekend seminars between January and May each year. The topics vary from year to year. Click on the link at the top of this page for our current schedule.
