Advanced Āyurveda Practitioner Training (AAPT)
About the Program:
People with an array of health issues may show up at your door. As an Āyurvedic Health Counselor (AHC) you are equipped to assess baseline criteria like one’s constitution or doṣa imbalance. What happens though when its more than just the doṣas on the rise?
The Advanced Āyurveda Practitioner Training (AAPT) course dives into the aspects of pathology and disease as understood by Āyurvedic parameters and explores the possibilities of its management. At this level of training one will learn about the anatomy and patho-physiological factors which contribute to the progression of an imbalance as well as the later stages of pathology such as vyakti (manifestation) and bheda (classification). Therapeutic measures as indicated classically as well as simple local aspects of remedial measures will be covered, with attention to scope of practice within the USA.
To create a well-rounded idea of a disorder, it is important to understand the components involved as well as the mechanism, for which this program touches on the conventional basics of disease and pathology.
The program is divided into modules based on various systems in the body. Each module will cover the Āyurvedic anatomy, physiology, pathogenesis, and disease description as well as management options including herbs and herbal formulas. The module begins with live sessions which include lectures, discussions, practical training, and case studies followed by weekly webinars. A combination of live as well as online hours allows for convenience and ease of study for those who have full time commitments.
100 % of AAPT graduates who have taken the NAMACB Ayurvedic Practitioner certification exam have passed and been awarded certification by the NAMACB.
Testimonial:
The AAPT program instructed by Dr. Anusha Sehgal at Boston Āyurveda Inc. has been life changing. I met Dr. Sehgal in my AHC program and immediately connected with her style of teaching. Her guidance through the classical texts of Ayurveda is thorough, patient, clear, and caring. She has time for everyone’s questions and she creates a safe environment where questions are welcomed. Everything she teaches is from the classical text with references. The beauty that Anusha brings to her instruction is her connection of the western world and the eastern. She was born and raised in the USA and understands our habits and culture but she lived and was trained in India during her early adult years. This gives her an insight into both worlds that is seen in her teaching unlike any other Āyurvedic teacher I have encountered. She is able to relate the teaching of the classics to the western culture but not lose the essence of the eastern culture. My life will never be the same. The knowledge she has guided me through not only improves my health but it allows me the honor of guiding those around me to a sounder awareness of their health. Dr Anusha always states Āyurvedic practice is not easy. The journey to enlightenment and awareness of reality is a challenging path. The AAPT program will take you on a journey of discovery about yourself and the world you live in. Your eyes will be open never to see your life or the world in the same way. You will be more grounded in reality. As a medical practitioner of western medicine for 35 years. I was discouraged by the handcuffs I felt I was wearing while treating my patients. I knew deep inside that something was missing. Something greater was there that could help me comfort my patients. When I found Āyurvedic medicine I just knew with all my soul I had found something truly special. I have been able to integrate the western and the eastern with profound results for my clients. Dr. Sehgal’s guidance has made me a stronger healthcare provider and a stronger person. If learning Āyurveda from the classics it what you seek and you need a guide for the journey, Dr. Anusha will inspire you.
