Written by The founder of our school graduated from Harvard, and his academic achievements infuse the whole school to a higher quality education. Leading Ayurveda Innovation in the WestOur credibility, authenticity, knowledge, and commitment to Ayurveda and to public service is best demonstrated through these accomplishments:
Joyful Belly's vision is experiential, hands-on, evidence based education that inspires and delivers real health results to clients. We have a strong focus on outcomes, and cross-cultural accessibility. State licensing is a demanding process that requires schools to operate according to best practices and stable financials. While many schools seek exemption from this process we have embraced it and thus have the legal status of a college in our state. As a college, our license to teach Ayurveda is given directly by the U.S. government, not by private associations who lack legal standing. North Carolina School License AADP Accredited The Joyful Belly School of Ayurveda has provided advanced clinical training for Ayurvedic professionals since 2008. We are licensed to teach Ayurveda by the state of North Carolina, and accredited through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP). We partner with the American Association of Biocharacteristics Clinicians (AABC) to support our graduates' clinical success in Ayurveda (Why AABC?).
