"I wish to expand upon our conversation regarding you as a teacher.
You are a good instructor because you create an atmosphere where the student wishes to learn; this is the mark of a great teacher. Good teachers are born, not created. You add humor to your classes making it easier to remember some of the details. Your presentations are concise, to the point, and in a good order for better understanding. Going off the subject occasionally with a short story relieves the brain, a thing some instructors forget about.
You're a good person, John, and a good instructor; lord knows I've had enough of them along with professors. I expect details, explanations, and fullness of the subject matter and permission to speak up with questions. The idea of teaching is for people to understand to the point they no longer need you.
Be kind to yourself and
Know you are loved,

"Yes! I throughly enjoyed the Ayurveda Workshop and look forward to more. The material was relevant and comprehensive to my goals. I found the material concrete and practical. I think you are skilled and informative regarding Ayurvedic teachings. I am thankful to have people like yourself commited to helping and teacing this fine medicine. I have already pasted the information to others to come to learn more. Thank you and we will meet again..."
"I have really loved my experience in this program and have learned so much that I can take with me anywhere. I feel honored to have been a part of this program and there are so many amazing practitioners and aspiring practitioners here. I'm really excited for more learning! John, you have really brought heart and meaning to ayurveda in this program. It shows that you really love it and care."
"I never realized so much of what we struggle with all starts with digestion. Joyful Bellys program is beautifully designed. It takes you through the entire digestive tract, guiding you to a better understanding of its different components, while teaching and applying ayurvedic concepts as they apply to ailments that much of society struggles with."
"John's passion for food, cooking, and assisting others is absolutely contagious and his kind, gentle way of teaching the principles of Ayurvedic cooking make it easy to fall in love with them. I personally was very inspired by the workshop and look forward to continuing this process of learning and getting well."
"On a personal health level, my eating habits and beliefs about food changed drastically. I learned to better understand my unique needs. I also learned to separate the overwhelming amount of online health information for the general population and narrow it down to what I actually needed for my body. As a result, my weight is lower then ever. My digestion is the best I can recall it being in my life. I also see my husband and children benefiting now and in the future from all the knowledge I have gained."
"Just wanted to post a huge thank you to John Joseph Immel for his fantastic lecture on subtle quality. It was personally so illuminating for me, and shined so many lights onto all my lurking, barely visible, subtle parts. There were sooo many nuggets of wisdom and so much material to pause and reflect on. I could not believe how in depth it was, and I loved all the philosophies and topics you pursued in this lecture with subtle quality at the helm. Not to sound too overly dramatic, but I would consider this to be a very life-changing, life-uplifting, life-altering lecture, and I cannot thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into the presentation to make it so. Definitely finished the lecture with a renewed sense of hope, and also a feeling of profound gratefulness to be apart of such a wonderful course. Thank you!!!"
"I pushed myself to familiarize myself not only with herbal remedies and their many uses, dhatus, srotas and many other Ayurvedic concepts but also with brand colours, fonts or how to write my own bio when it came to business planning. John doesn't leave anything to chance but believes in giving you the best foundation when starting out as an Ayurvedic digestive health coach. Trust him"
"Just want to pass along that I found Dr Vanashree's Prenatal class brilliant. I love that she includes Sanskrit and more info from the Ayurvedic texts. I could have listened to her discuss this topic for hours"
"First of all I would just like to say that I am LOVING this course. It's so interesting and applicable for someone who suffers from digestive discomfort. I have already felt a shift after implementing very simple changes."
"I'm grateful for the experience and feel that I am coming away with a deeper understanding of Ayurveda. I hope to continue with this path."
"I've had some realizations during these past few consultations about how transforming this program has been for me. My gratitude is eternal and I thank not only Joyful Belly, but all of YOU who made this experience such a personal one without ever having met you."
""Each time you dip a white cloth in dye, it becomes more saturated with the color of the dye." I've been letting that soak in. Joyful Belly Ayurveda has been a potent brew - I will certainly be digesting all that has been offered here for some time to come, and unpacking the theory in real time with clinical experience. There's a lot of sick people out there. Are y'all ready to get to work? What's on the horizon for you all?"
"I just met with my 88 year old client who is having trouble with nausea. I explained the Ayurvedic perspective you discussed in the free call and how unexpressed anger, guilt or shame could be a possible cause. A light bulb went off in her head and she revealed childhood traumas that had cause the same feeling of nausea in her stomach. This new perspective gave her insight into her current condition."
"I have enjoyed this course so much, it's been a life changer and so glad I did the step to take it."
"I approached the Joyful Belly Ayurveda Health Counselor Course because I wanted a solid curriculm and foundation in natural holistic medicine. Joyfulbelly has helped me reach this goal. I use this ancient knowledge not only for myself but for others."
"Thank you! All! I feel that the wealth of knowledge I have seen here is huge and feel that this is more of a beginning than a parting. I feel that this is a forum and platform for collaboration and much more shared knowledge."
