“I am a nurse practitioner forever interested in treating the WHOLE person, not just symptoms. I fell in love with yoga years ago. Near the end of my teacher training I was introduced to Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga. This led me to the Minnesota Institute of Ayurveda. I completed my first year and I am now certified as an Ayurvedic Counselor and I am pursuing second year to become a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner. The training I have received has been superb and life changing, both personally and professionally. Marcia and Dr. Asavari are incredible teachers and I am forever grateful that I have the opportunity to study with them. I have the tools to provide a holistic practice and I am excited to see where this takes me.”

“I took 6 weeks Ayurveda course and enjoyed it tremendously! My dad, a doctor, was advising me to study Ayurveda long time ago. But it was not possible in my country. Now, 30 years later I've got that opportunity. It is a real wisdom of the human body, health, and life. It gave me understanding why I act, look the way I do, what to expect, what I should pay attention to, what to bring more into my life and what to avoid. I look at Ayurvedic wisdom as a never ending journey, guidance, and path to a balanced, healthy condition, when you can fully enjoy the life. I plan to study Ayurveda deeper, apply that knowledge in my family, spread good word among my friends. I liked our instructor's, Asavari Manvikar, presentation style. Nice pace, well-organized handouts, broad and deep info, illustrations with video clips and even real herbs.”
