Ayurvedic diet : an individual approach

Ayurveda has always had an individualized approach to nutrition. Fine out how you structure your diet to fit your constitution. One of the fundamental ideas in Ayurveda is that your body is intelligent and seeks health if you support it through good habits. Additionally, health is defined as a dynamic state – not just the absence of disease as in modern medicine. The idea in Ayurvedic nutrition is that health can be increased not just maintained through right lifestyle and diet. Thus, an Ayurvedic diet is an individualized approach that brings a dynamic state of being.

I wanted to let you know that I am having a fantastic time in Nagpur. Dr. Joshi, Mukul and Pravim are all fantastic and the learning is going very well. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity and I am deeply grateful that you arranged it so that I could be here.

Dear Atreya and Alex:

I am currently laid over in the Newark airport on my third and last leg of my two-day journey home from India and wanted to thank both of you for providing and facilitating an incredible year-long immersion in Ayurveda.

Dr. Joshi’s course was a perfect adjunct to the foundation you provided, and the experience I had in his clinic far exceeded my expectations. With the information I received in your e-learning combined with the practical application of Ayurveda in Dr. Joshi’s clinic, I feel fully prepared and ready to begin seeing clients. During my most recent course of study in India, I not only gained valuable information, I was also able to deepen my personal commitment to my own Ayurvedic practice.

My private consultation with Dr. Joshi really helped me witness how such a consultation is conducted and produced some surprising results. I had made an erroneous assumption about my constitution (PK not VP as I originally assumed) because of my Vata Vrikritti!

I am dedicated to pursuing my own healing in addition to establishing myself as an Ayurvedic practitioner. I do recognize that Ayurveda is a practice of lifelong learning, and I am privileged to be part of the Ayurvedic family.

Finally, I would like to add that it was wonderful to meet my fellow e-learning students in person as well as several other students you have trained in the past. I think you would have been proud of your e-learning team, as we all were very prepared for Dr. Joshi’s program after taking your course and demonstrated a great deal of commitment to our studies while in Nagpur. We formed a special bond and plan to stay in touch to support each other’s practices.

Thank you both again for a wonderful year-long journey!

Please inform me of any future trainings or advanced learning opportunities in Ayurveda that you develop. I remain very enthusiastic about continuing my relationship with you.

Best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors.

Warm Regards, Sue


E-learning course

Hi Atreya and Alex:

Many thanks to both of you for a wonderful year. What a journey this has been and a privilege to be a student of both of you. I am so excited about what I have learned and what is to come as I incorporate Ayurveda into my practice. Everything you’ve said about integrating and assimilating the material makes a lot of sense. I do appreciate and understand that this is a lifelong process.

I have completed all of my homework and lessons at this time and am glad to have the time to review my notes and lectures before I go to India. I’ve had a understanding of each lesson as I’ve gone back through them, as I seem to have more clarity. The wealth of information in this course has been amazing and more than I ever expected. I also have been so pleased with the e-learning format and don’t think I would have learned as much with any other forum. The dedication and responsiveness both of you have demonstrated during the course of our learning has been outstanding. Everything you have done has been so appreciated! This has been a transformational year for me, and I am grateful to you. I hope to continue to help others, to make a difference, and to practice what you have taught me here in LA. I truly threw myself into my studies and was able to do so despite the family stressors I had working against me. This course was truly as blessing, and Ayurveda is very important to me.


Dear Atreya

I have worked really hard on this course so far and have been impressed with your dedication and knowledge. It is a privilege to be your student and to be associated with your Institute.


Dear Atreya and Alex

thank you so much for this course—I really enjoy it.

I have studied ashtanga yoga (primarily asanas) for approximately 10 years with a rather intense practice for the last 5 years. I have done a lot of workshops on asana and philosophy but there seemed to be something missing.

In this course it feels like I have found that missing piece and it has added another dimension to my yoga practice. Primarily the explanation of the philosophy—or samkhya vision rather—has added a dimension which I have looked for in the ashtanga environment but not found.

I am also inspired by the way both of you use language. The very specific way you articulate and express things. I like how the classes are planned with the lecture, time for self study and then a Q&A.


Hello Atreya,

I have enjoyed the times when you and Alex have been funny in the forum and lectures as well :)

I think that the course so far has been excellent. At times i have struggled to keep up due to full time work etc, but I am really enjoying it and feel that I am learning so much. I love the fact that the lectures are live, even if I am rarely able to attend, I think this is an important aspect to keep as it makes me feel more in touch with everyone and it keeps a sense of the present - this is happening here and now. Hope that makes sense!!


Dear Atreya,

A couple of things at the end of the course. The course has been more demanding time wise than expected, it´s wonderful and I love it, but this autumn was a really busy one for me.


Dear Alex,

Thank you for a great lecture, really enjoyed it and it helped me to understand better about physiological prakriti’s :)


Hi Atreya,

I just wanted to thank you for your very thorough and clear answers to my questions from the forum. I really learned a lot from watching the tape of the Q & A session this morning.


Dear Atreya,

Attached is my final case study assignment for the e-learning level 1.

Thank you for your time to review this.

Regarding the e-learning course - I thought overall it was a very well structured course with an abundance of information that was well organized and presented by both you and Alex. The aids of the live webcams (and even seeing a person in the recorded sessions) was really effective, much more so than simply reading from a text. There really was no difference to actually being in the room with you, particularly when the lecture was given live. You could repeat the course as is and it remains outstanding, in my opinion.
