A Weekly Online Program for Ayurveda Practitioners
Join Ayurveda vaidya A. R. Ramadas, one of the medical directors and co-founders of Vaidyagrama Healing Village, for an exploration of the vast wisdom of Ayurveda as recorded in the Aṣṭāṅga Hṛdayam of Vāgbhata.
Each week, we will discuss a small number of sutra-s, translating line by line to draw out the full meaning of the Sanskrit and apply it to current practice.
Drawing on his decades of experience caring for patients and his classical education and training, Dr. Ramadas will share his unique insight on this ancient text and Ayurveda in general.
To ensure a common background understanding and to help focus our study, this program is intended for trained Ayurveda professionals.
