Assignments are designed using active learning methods so students engage with and apply what they've learned. Use of multimedia makes online learning more effective than traditional in-person classroom settings, where the teacher may be more than 50 feet away from the students. Trained Teachers Your teachers are hand selected not only for great Ayurveda knowledge, but also their great teaching and communication skills.
All of our teachers receive ongoing pedagogy traiing (teacher training) customized to medical education. We train our teachers in active learning methods and mutliple intelligences and learning styles. We've organized assignments using these pedagogy tools. Study after study proves great teaching is essential to learning outcomes and competency. The founder of our school graduated from Harvard, and his academic qualities infuse the whole school to a higher quality education. Clarity & Depth The mark of a truly great teacher is the ability to explain complex topics simply, without alot of jargon or mysticism.
Joyful Belly takes a natural, common sense approach to Ayurveda education so that people in your community can related to your future clinical practice and engage in your services. Patient centered care focuses on the culture of the client, not the medicine. Your journey will not only be profound, it will also make sense. Effective & Comprehensive Titles and certifications mean nothing if you are an ineffective clinician.
There are no shortcuts to quality education.
Our quality oriented courses do not rush education. 2 years is the minimum to understand the full scope of Ayurveda. An additional 2 years is required for advanced level practice. Our courses are more challenging, but build more confidence and results. Avoid comparing schools based on price. Instead compare clinical outcomes. Don't skimp on education. Focus on your lifetime career, not on 'geting a deal' today. Harvard is not the cheapest school, but you can actually have a successful career and your lifetime earning potential makes it worth it. When you graduate from Joyful Belly, you are investing in a high-quality, in-depth education, your future clinical confidence, and a lifetime of achieving your goals.

Gaps in your understanding are identified and remedied. This feedback will give you confidence in yourself and your knowledge. CommunityBuddy Assignments Frequent buddy assignments and assessment greatly enhance learning and create strong bonds in the program. Student Chat Student chat groups are lively, insightful, and rich with ideas.
Our support staff monitors these groups so you can ask questions anytime throughout your learning process. Team Based - Not Self-Paced Self-paced courses improve sales but are scientifically shown to produce poor quality clinicians and
to undermine educational quality.
You can't become a clinician just by studying on your own. Self-paced and open enrollment 'by modules' don't work. Here, all students start at the same time and grow together as a class. You are joining a community and you will learn from each other. Expect to make lifelong friends and colleagues. Our students are leaders with busy lives.

Joyful Belly is a pioneer in the Ayurveda profession.
Our expertise is demonstrated through hundreds of novel research studies with tens of thousands of participants.
We don't just teach Ayurveda, we study and develop it. Demonstrable Leadership It is essential you learn from a school with comprehensive mastery of Ayurveda and leadership in the field.
The scope of knowledge you will receive is demonstrated by the thousands of articles we have published on the website and the many free tools we offer to the public. Great schools of Ayurveda study Ayurveda themselves. Generosity & Accessibility Joyful Belly's values and commitment to public health & wellness are demonstrated by the vast free content we offer to the public. State Licensed 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. Food & Digestion Joyful Belly is a renowned resource and pioneer for all subjects regarding Ayurvedic food and digestion. Competitive PriceAssociation Independence We avoid alliances to Ayurveda associations and clubs that do not focus on the clinical success of practitioners,
but instead exist to protect their donor schools and increase the cost of education.
Under the guise of protecting Ayurveda, such associations make Ayurveda exclusive to certain religious groups, limit innovation, and prevent the advancement of Ayurveda as an integrative medicine. They have no legal authority with the government. Unlike the state, these associations do not audit schools for actual competency. Instead, they greatly increase costs while offering little to no benefits to our graduates. These associations frequently scare students by convincing them they have authority. However, Ayurveda employers largely ignore association membership when hiring. Instead they look at years of clinical practice and education level. No hidden costs / travel The cost of tuition and materials are the only costs in the program.
There are no hidden costs to receiving your certification.
There is no travel required in the program. Make the best choice for your future by reading the guide below. About our Online Ayurveda School
