Continuing Education and Distance Learning Classes
General Information
Many of Alandi Ayurveda courses can be taken on an individual basis. This is a great way to attend our unique classes on an individual basis, or to continue your education. Many of our classes are available via Skype for those that can’t attend in person. This is a great option for:
- Graduates from Ayurvedic programs that would like to continue their studies on an ad-hoc basis
- Ayurvedic practitioners looking for continuing education opportunities
- Distance learners to attend classes via Skype (note some classes are not available by Skype)
- Personal education or interest
- Professional development for practitioners in related fields
Textbooks and Materials
There are several required and recommended texts for each specific course. Required and recommended texts can be found under each course description. One copy of each book is available in our school library for use while on the property. Other materials costs may be required for certain classes, i.e. copy packets.
Admissions and Tuition
Tuition for individual classes is $200 per credit hour. Graduates of Alandi Ayurveda can attend new classes or re-take classes for a discounted price. Please contact the office to inquire about the special rate.
Classes from the Practitioner program are appropriate for new Ayurvedic students, that have taken at least the Fundamentals of Ayurveda or an equivalent course. Classes from the Post-graduate program (the second half of the Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner Program) are available to graduates of a NAMA approved practitioner program or Ayurvedic professionals.
