Our Mission
The Ayurvedic Living Institute is an online space for the transmission of Ayurveda in ways both traditional and modern.
Through individual learning, group work, and teacher student relationship, we make classical Ayurvedic lifestyle and diet principles accessible to people in all stages of life and all geographies. It is our belief that the knowledge must be embodied consistently, and integrated into daily life for the best results, therefore we offer programming that is practical and supportive.
We are committed to continuing to evolve with our students as our collective journey with Ayurveda cultivates optimal quality of life, and a clear view of reality.
