Join Starseed for this 8 week, 16-hour intensive course of study

leading to a Certificate in Ayurvedic Self-Care & Health Maintenance.

 

This program is intended as an introduction to Ayurveda that is both

detailed as well as of practical use to the non-health professional

who wishes to take a more responsible part in caring for his or her

health. In addition, it will serve as a basis for more advanced

training for those desiring to either become practitioners of

Ayurveda or to extend their skills to care for their families.

 

This course is planned as the first of several course programs in

Ayurveda that will take students through intermediate and advanced

levels of proficiency and which will train and certify students as

Ayurvedic practitioners-consultants. Starseed's Ayurveda Practitioner

Program is scheduled to begin operation in September 2004, and

courses currently undertaken (including this one, which is a

prerequisite for all other intermediate, advanced and

practitioner-level courses offered in the program) carry full credit

applicable to the program.

 

The course's instructor, Dr. Aparna Bapat, is one of the world's

premier writers, scholars, teachers and practitioners of Ayurvedic

medicine whose work is known in the United States, the United Kingdom

and India. Dr. Bapat is a graduate of the University of Pune Faculty

of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery; is formerly Senior Lecturer at the

College of Ayurveda (London, U.K.).and is presently consultant at the

Ayurveda Center, New York City. She is the author of numerous
