"I loved the course, especially the development of felt senses, practical experiences offered, and herbal remedies. I was amazed by my experiences. John, you have a fabulous way of getting folks like me to think differently and I am deeply grateful for what I have learned from you."

"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."

"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,

"I am really enjoying consultations so far and excited to continue that. I loved learning the business part and how to get people to pay me for them! ;) I am stoked! "

"I love, love, love this website and John Immel is the best! After 30 years of practicing & teaching nutrition, my eyes were opened WIDE to eating for my dosha and I enjoy it so much. I'm losing weight effortlessly, feel amazing (at 52), adore his recipes and I'm happy knowing I'll eat this way the rest of my life. Joyful belly is now my favorite online resource (encyclopedia) and I trust John wholeheartedly. If you are considering taking his cleanse, course, a consult or just using his recipes - I say YES! My 76 year old Mom is loving this with me, it has changed her life too, Yippee! Thank you John, many blessings"

"Each of you has inspired me in a unique way to continue my firm personal commitment to learning more and more about Ayurveda and helping as many others as possible. I'm enjoying the learning process very much and am very eager about starting my own clinic, workshops, courses, etc. once ready."

"I’m really enjoying the setup of the herbal experiments. The reading assignment, experiment and review of last week's herb. It has a nice flow."

"Hi John,

I have loved every minute of the course, and it has truly changed my life. It is exciting to be learning something so completely new, yet intuitive to some degree. My biggest challenge is simply slowing down to pay attention. It’s a big shift, but the time has come...

Thank you so much; I’m thrilled that I found you and Joyful Belly."

"I have gotten so much out of this. I feel a bit emotional about it coming to an end! I'd love to stay in touch and keep learning from all the wise folk here."

"I appreciate you and the team at Joyful Belly more than I can even express. I look forward to one day being able to share my story with everyone so that I can be a shining example of how Ayurveda and, more specifically, Joyful Belly has had an enormous, beneficial impact in my life. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

"I love the joyful belly website and send a lot of people there as well. Did you know that you can become an affiliate and get reimbursed for referrals? The information is amazing. I have my client's create their quizzes and forward them to me, just like we're doing in class. John Joseph Immel and the rest of the gang at JB are GREAT!!!"

"This was a very well-spoken presentation. I love the thorough, yet simple way that ideas were explained and expounded upon. Going through each of the body channels (srotas) and reviewing the Sanskrit name and connecting each to either excess or deficient slow guna was a very helpful way to make the information meaningful and applicable. "

"Everything that I have experienced made so much sense in my body and in my mind."

"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 am on week seven and just listened to the review you facilitated on Cow Milk. I just really want to express how much I appreciate the wisdom you bring to each lesson you teach. From the examples you use down to the pauses you take between questions or topics, to your real world experiences in every day life, I am really able to absorb a lot of your teaching. In recent weeks we haven't heard from you as often as we did the first few module's. In the future will we resume hearing more of your lecture's?"

"It's like my intuition is being reexplained in depth. It's overwhelming in a good way because I'm so interested in what we're learning! I'm so inspired by the daily routines and rituals that Ayurveda practices. "

"First I'd like to send a huge THANK YOU to you, John and the whole team who keeps Joyful Belly running. I can only imagine the efforts, organization and commitment that's required from all of you to run the AHC program. "
