Free Online Ayurveda Workshops

Ayuskama is the ideal place to clear fragmented knowledge and gain a complete, structured understanding of Ayurveda. Instead of memorizing scattered rules, you’ll learn the underlying formulas and principles that make the science clear and applicable. Guided by Dr. Arun Sharma’s expertise, our hands-on courses in Dharamshala combine authentic lineage-based wisdom with practical clinical training—helping you grow into a confident Ayurvedic professional.

If you’re new to Ayurveda, the best place to begin is with our Foundation Course. This course is designed especially for beginners, offering a comprehensive introduction to Ayurvedic principles—including the five elements, the three doshas, diet, lifestyle, and preventive health.

One of the most valuable parts of this course is discovering your own unique constitution (prakriti) and how to keep it in balance. You’ll also learn how simple Ayurvedic routines and practices can support your wellbeing in everyday life.

Even though it’s a foundational course, the study is in-depth and holistic, making it an excellent starting point whether you want to explore Ayurveda for personal wellness or continue on to more advanced training.

Even if you’ve completed Ayurvedic studies at another school, courses can differ greatly in structure and depth. That’s why we recommend beginning with our Foundation Course.

Although it is the first course in our curriculum, it is still a comprehensive and in-depth study of Ayurveda, carefully designed so that each concept builds on the next. Many students who studied elsewhere found great value in revisiting the foundations with us, as the course is taught in a unique way that clears doubts and connects fragmented knowledge into a clear, integrated understanding.

By starting here, you’ll strengthen your grasp of the principles of Ayurveda and gain the clarity needed to move into advanced levels with confidence.

Yes. Many of our students describe their Ayurveda studies as a life-changing journey. Beyond professional skills, the courses encourage deep self-inquiry and self-healing. You’ll learn to understand your own constitution (prakriti), recognise imbalances, and apply Ayurvedic diet, lifestyle, and therapies in your daily life.

As you integrate this wisdom, many students notice improvements in their physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance. They also feel more confident in supporting their children and loved ones during health issues, using simple Ayurvedic principles to bring balance and comfort at home.

For many, Ayurveda becomes not just a system of medicine but a path of self-transformation that inspires mindful living, healthier routines, and a deeper connection with nature—enriching both personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them.

 Our Ayurveda Therapist Course is designed in line with the guidelines of Ayush, the official governing body for Ayurveda in India. Under the licence of Dr. Arun Sharma (BAMS), Ayuskama Ayurveda is authorised to train and certify Ayurveda Therapists, just like other recognised schools in India.

It’s important to understand how Ayurvedic qualifications differ in India and abroad:

1. BAMS (Ayurvedic Doctor / Practitioner)

• A 5.5-year degree in India, required for anyone who wishes to work as an Ayurvedic doctor or practitioner.

• BAMS graduates can diagnose, prescribe, and practice Ayurveda independently.

2. Ayurveda Therapist (our programme)

• In India, Ayurveda Therapists cannot work independently — they always work under the guidance of a BAMS-qualified doctor.

• Abroad, Ayurveda is not government-regulated. Instead, there are private associations (e.g., NAMA, APNA) where practitioners and therapists may register.

• In the West, titles such as “Ayurvedic Therapist”, “Ayurvedic Health Counsellor”, or “Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner” are often used interchangeably, as regulation is not formalised. What truly matters is your training, experience, and skills.

3. Your Certification at Ayuskama

• After completing Level 1, you can call yourself an Ayurvedic Therapist / Health Counsellor / Wellness Practitioner, suitable for practice in Western countries.

• With Level 2 or an internship at our clinic, you may identify as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, having gained deeper clinical exposure and treatment experience.

• Only after completing the BAMS degree (5.5 years in India) can you call yourself an Ayurvedic Doctor.

All of our Ayurveda courses are offered online, making them accessible to students worldwide. The theory and practical demonstrations are recorded in detail, so you can study and practice at your own pace.

For those seeking hands-on training, we also offer the Ayurveda Therapist Level 1 Practical Course in Dharamshala, India. This is a two-week in-person program exclusively for students who have first completed the online Level 1 course. It allows you to deepen your learning with direct clinical experience under the guidance of Dr. Arun Sharma.

Our Ayurveda Therapist courses are designed to give you a solid foundation in Ayurvedic principles and practical therapies. After completing the Level 1 Ayurveda Therapist course, you can work as an Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, or Ayurvedic Therapist in most Western countries, where Ayurveda is not government-regulated. Your ability to practice will depend on your country’s laws, but generally, what matters most is your knowledge, skills, and clinical experience rather than a government-issued license.

In India, only graduates of the B.A.M.S. (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery) program are recognized as Ayurvedic Doctors/Physicians and can work independently. Ayurveda Therapists, by contrast, always work under the guidance of a physician in India.

For students outside India, our training equips you to offer Ayurvedic lifestyle consultations, therapies, and wellness support. Many graduates also choose to join private associations such as NAMA or APNA, which can give additional recognition in Western countries.

Completing Level 2 or an internship at our Dharamshala clinic can further expand your expertise and help you practice more confidently.

Our graduates apply their Ayurvedic knowledge in many creative, personal, and professional ways. Many find that the first transformation happens within themselves—using Ayurveda to improve their own health, build stronger immunity, and bring more balance into daily life. They often share how these practices also help them better support their families and loved ones during health challenges.

Professionally, some doctors and healthcare providers integrate Ayurveda into their medical practice, creating a more holistic approach for their patients. Others bring Ayurveda into their communities by offering workshops, talks, and classes at festivals.

Many students go on to open Ayurveda-inspired businesses, from wellness shops to skincare and food products rooted in Ayurvedic principles. Some host retreats or collaborate with yoga studios and healing centers. Others extend their reach by recording podcasts, writing books or blogs, and creating educational content to share Ayurvedic wisdom with a wider audience.

Wherever they apply it, students discover that Ayurveda is not just a skill—it’s a way of living that enhances personal wellbeing while empowering them to guide others on their healing journeys.
