Lifestyle

Ayurveda graduates are able to do work that is meaningful because Ayurveda is a whole-person health system that is patient-centered and improves the health and lives of their patients through diet, lifestyle, herbs, and body therapies. Many graduates open their own businesses so they can be their own boss, which allows them to do meaningful work while also having flexibility. Within the curriculum, students learn practice management and how to develop and manage a clinical practice business.
