Course Description
Ayurveda (“Science of Life”) is one of the oldest systems of self-care, viewing the body, mind, and spirit in a harmonious relationship. Its primary goal is to create balance for disease prevention and overall life quality enhancement. In this tradition, psychology, daily routine planning (Dinacharya), nutrition, yoga, and meditation play a central role. Ayurveda emphasizes that essential daily activities—such as eating, sleeping, and working—should follow a consistent rhythm aligned with nature to maintain health, vitality, and mental clarity.
This course is designed to help participants create a personalized lifestyle and customize self-care across the three dimensions of mind, body, and spirit. It is structured according to internationally recognized educational standards.
The one-year program is divided into two terms (Foundational and Advanced). Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Determine individual constitution (Prakriti) and imbalances (Vikriti).
- Provide practical guidance for daily routines, nutrition, yoga, and meditation tailored to individual needs.
- Utilize complementary Ayurveda tools such as aromatherapy, sound therapy, and the five senses (taste, smell, hearing, sight, touch) to enhance wellbeing.

- Develop a sense of natural aesthetics reflecting inner and outer harmony.

A Busy Mind, a Tired Body: Where Does Fatigue Come From?

Qigong, as a discipline that studies the energies inherent in nature, focuses on the fundamental principles of human health and longevity. Its core framework is grounded in the Three Vital Elements—known as the “Three Treasures” (San Bao): Essence (Jing), Qi, and Spirit (Shen). These three, also called the “Three Roots” (San Yuan) or “Three Foundations,” are regarded as the origin of human life and longevity. The primary objective of Qigong practice is to preserve Essence, strengthen and smooth the circulation of Qi, and illuminate the Spirit.
