Our Story

Joyful Belly is the leading school of Ayurvedic diet & digestive health. We offer the most extensive clinical training of any Ayurveda program in the West, and are known for our down-to-earth, practical teaching style. In our rigorous online training programs, you will study Ayurvedic medicine and digestive tract pathology, pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, diet, lifestyle, herbal formulations, and much more.

In addition to our North Carolina State-approved online Ayurvedic courses, we also offer clients advanced tools in Ayurvedic dieting. We offer a user friendly website featuring thousands of yummy, healthy recipes, ingredients and symptoms online. Joyful Belly helps you understand how your body experiences food so that you can identify the best foods to eat for health, wellness and happiness.

Joyful Belly provides a modern, functional & experiential approach to Ayurveda - a 5,000 year old system of medicine from India. Ayurveda integrates the science of medicine with the art of healing. Ayurveda describes disease not only in western medical terms but as patterns of doshas, feelings, and tastes that everyone can understand and experience. Perspective helps us relate better to our body, self-monitor, respect the laws of Nature, and make supportive lifestyle and diet choices.
