My experience with Sri Sri Ayurveda was truly enriching and deeply transformative. Various trainings and hands-on practicum offered incredible depth while remaining practical and accessible. I was amazed by how much we were able to absorb and apply within the duration of these trainings and have seen wonderful responses from those receiving the therapies. It has been a beautiful journey to the true essence of Ayurveda.

Truly one of the best trainings I’ve ever taken. The team was incredibly supportive, and it was so detail-oriented. I had the chance to practice on many different people, which gave me so much confidence. The depth of Ayurvedic knowledge I gained in these two weeks is profound. I can now identify the unique Vata, Pitta, and Kapha tendencies in each person and guide them with treatments tailored specifically for them. The team responds immediately when I have questions, and thanks to them, I was able to build my own Ayurvedic practice with confidence. This is one of the best trainings I’ve ever experienced—my heartfelt thanks to my trainers and mentors.

I feel so blessed to have taken the Ayurveda training courses at Sri Sri Ayurveda. I am always amazed how the practices we learned gently relaxes someone into a meditative state and allows them to rest deeply. I find the practice is even therapeutic for me as the practitioner and has taught me how much healing power is within our bodies waiting to be touched.

A fantastic immersive course that not only dives deep into the science of Ayurveda and the building blocks of this ancient knowledge, but how one can apply it to daily life and practice. During the two week course I not only learned the classical techniques but had the pure joy of practicing daily Sadhana at the Ashram. Truly embodying the daily practice of aligning with mind body and spirit . The hands on therapies are strongly supported with theoretical work and the teachings of highest quality client care. I finished the course ready to serve clients with a deeper understanding of self .
