Our Philosophy

Ayurveda Yoga considers the body, senses, mind and soul are interconnected. When one part does not function to its optimal capacity imbalance is created which is the main cause of disease.

This definition of health is currently endorsed by the World Health Organisation who view health as the physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing of people and not merely the absence of disease.

 

Aligning Health works principally with the philosophy of Ayurveda Yoga. This science works on the understanding of elemental energies combining to form distinctive characteristics within each individual. When these become imbalanced, disease occurs. Ayurveda Yoga works to realign this imbalance at the root cause for proper health maintenance and disease prevention. 


We make our course applicable to the West. Based on traditional knowledge of Ayurveda, we understand how to apply the practices and principles of Ayurveda to make it come alive for our students and our clients. This is what makes us different as a training school. 

​

Our students have the option to learn in fully operational Retreat Centres including Aligning Health Retreat in Axedale, Bendigo, Australia and Sree Chithra Ayurhome in Kerala, India.  

Certificate in Ayurveda Psychology and Counselling

A$499.00 A$199.00

Our minds are powerful things. The health of our minds can directly affect the health of our bodies. The mind and body are interconnected. 

Talk therapy is beneficial for a range of mental health issues and to keep our minds strong and resilient. Talk therapy is said to help with trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues. 

Talk therapy can involve going deep into the psyche, changing our thought process or learning how to cope with difficult emotions. When we apply Ayurveda to talk therapy we learn a preventative model of health care. We learn to become our own healers by practicing lifestyle choices and food choices that help with our bodies and minds. 

This Certificate in Ayurveda Psychology and Counselling teaches you how to work with clients to bring about their best selves. It is also a self--help course for people who are ready to take the journey towards developing a healthy mind and body.
