Yoga Course reviews :

I’m excited to learn yoga from the source with the revered scientific yoga institutes of India. Though living in Asia, information about yoga out there is usually westernized interpretations and sometimes mixed with other eastern philosophies. So this course guides me to yoga’s unique heritage,like discovery of treasure trove.

The Online Yoga Teacher Training course is a unique course that combines the knowledge of the ancient yoga texts with a solid research on the scientific, philosophical and anatomical aspects of yoga. The lectures are well structured and we can engage in discussions via email with the lecturers to clarify any aspect in further detail.

If you need to dig deeper or if you aspire to greater heights…….this is a great opportunity on the path of Yoga. Very well organised and structured course, easy to get help from the master teachers. And the free lectures of Swami Nityamuktananda on the five greats elements are a bonus to all of us. Don´t miss it!

Ayurveda Course reviews :

"I am thoroughly enjoying the online Ayurdeva course being conducted by Dr. Sachin and Dr. Nutan. Both of them are very knowledgeable with years of experience in their fields. They help the students by answering all their questions and keep updating the current course contents with new information which helps the students to always learn new things regarding the subject. I would definitely recommend this course to others."

This course is smartly designed to learn Ayurveda both for beginners and health/wellness experts as every chapter is built with basic frameworks then it gives full information topic by topic. It took more than 5 months for me to complete a first cycle(and I am repeating again) and I really enjoyed detailed explanation in video lectures, helpful reading resources, interactive communication with teachers and assignments that encouraged me to study more in depth. I felt like walking up the stairs with solid understanding and trust. I highly recommend this course and looking forward to follow Ayurveda level 2 in near future!

Kaivalyadhama “Ayurveda for Yoga Teachers” Five Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Doctors/Teachers, Dr. Sachin Jadhav and Dr. Nutan Pakhare, both were excellent, knowledgeable, and supportive. The course structure and videos were easy to follow and very in-depth. I came away feeling that I found exactly what I was looking for, a rich Ayurvedic history, from a online course, taught by serious Ayurvedic Doctors. Also, the fact that I can keep the course for several years for further study makes it even more worth the money. I just can’t say enough great things about Kaivalyadhama and the most excellent Doctors! Thank you so much and I can’t wait to visit soon!!
