Apply to Ayurveda School

Student apprentices are admitted once a year at the start of the fall semester. (Please note: There is an orientation week preceding the official start of the semester).

Please review our tuition policy and the admissions steps outlined below, and contact the Alandi Administrator at 303-786-7437 or info@alandiashram.org if you have any questions. Qualified applicants will be interviewed and those who are the best fit for Alandi will be accepted. “For student apprentices enrolled in NAMA-recognized program beginning on or after January 1, 2022, live in-person classes are required to be offered unless state and local public health guidelines mandate otherwise. In the instance that any further pandemic complications should arise, the program format may be adjusted accordingly. See our published schedule for details.”

 Apply soon! Applications will be considered on a first-come first-served basis.

Schedule a visit

Prospective student apprentices are very strongly recommended to visit the gurukula while classes are in session. Alandi invites all applicants to visit a class, have lunch, and take a walk with Ma and the student apprentices. A site visit ensures that Alandi will fit the student apprentice's learning style and goals as well as ensuring that Alandi will enroll student apprentices who can thrive at Alandi.

Note that classes end early in May, so it is preferable to visit between September and May in order to experience a sample class. In the case of later applications, a site visit will include a building tour. In addition, it may be possible to schedule a clinic appointment or to attend Monday night chants.
