150 Hour India Ayurveda Immersion

March 8th - 22nd, 2021

This 15-day intensive takes place at our affiliate Institute in Pune, India. For decades the Dancing Shiva School has established a close working relationship and affiliation with the International Academy of Ayurveda (IAA) and we also share a close affiliate relationship with D.Y. Patil University's School of Ayurveda (DPU). D.Y. Patil University's School of Ayurveda (DPU).

Our program students will experience the unique opportunity of participating in specialized classes provided by the IAA and DPU faculty and Mas Vidal. The material covered in the program classes includes expansive (more advanced & in-depth) coverage of the material listed in the main curriculum. The experience and knowledge gained from participating in Motherland studies are substantial. Firstly, to study at a premier Indian Ayurvedic University and at the TanMan Research Centre is unique to our affiliation as this is not commonly permitted at Indian institutes. As international students, you receive the direct cultural experience, classes given by an Indian faculty, the experience of observing actual patient cases (encounters) in an ayurvedic clinic and hospital and access to an extensive library and dedicated departments for each main topic of Ayurvedic education.

Those interested in attending this program who have not completed our course are welcome to join us.

Kaya Chikitsa (Internal Ayurvedic Medicine)
