From the Founders

Dear Future Student,

We see you. You’ve been searching, yearning for something deeper—something that goes beyond scratching the surface. You’ve completed yoga trainings, Ayurvedic certifications, even advanced Ayurvedic programs, and yet, you’re still longing for more. They gave you pieces of the puzzle, but never the full picture. You want more than high-level overviews, more than checklists and routines. You want to immerse yourself in true Ayurvedic wisdom, to learn from those who have dedicated their lives to living and breathing this sacred knowledge for decades.

We wanted that too. Like you, we are seekers, dreamers who craved depth and authenticity. And when we couldn’t find it, we created it.

In 2017, we began this program with a singular mission: to make real, transformative Ayurvedic education accessible to those who are called to it. We designed it to fit the lives of seekers like you—people who are passionate, driven, and committed to mastering this ancient science, but who need flexibility, affordability, and the freedom to learn without boundaries.

This is not just another course.  This is a journey. We’ve made it our job to bring the true Vidyas of Ayurveda to you. We’ve gathered world-class educators, those who wrote the textbooks, who’ve lived this wisdom for decades, because like you, we didn’t want to settle for programs that only scratched the surface. We wanted the real thing. And now, we’ve made it available for you.

This moment? It’s no coincidence. Ayurveda has been gently calling you for a long time. What were once whispers in your heart have grown into an undeniable voice, urging you to take the next step. You are ready.

At the Yoga Veda Institute, we don’t just teach Ayurveda; we live it. And we invite you to do the same. With us, you will not only learn the theory—you will transform every element of your life into a sacred experience. We’ll walk beside you every step of the way, as you step into the role of a healer, a guide, and a guardian of ancient wisdom.

This is your time. Your journey begins here. We’re here to support you, to guide you, and to welcome you into a community that is built on compassion, connection, and a shared love for this profound science.

We warmly invite you to schedule a call with our leadership team. Let us show you what makes our program, and this community, so special. Together, we’ll create something extraordinary.

With deep respect and anticipation,

Jacky Rae, Director & Co-Founder
Coach Andy Allen, Co-Founder

In Their Own Words

"Nothing Short of Exceptional"

"My journey with Yoga Veda Institute (YVI) and Ayurveda has been truly transformative. It all began in 2021 when I stumbled upon their website offering a free 7-10 day basic course on Ayurveda. The professionalism and depth of content immediately caught my attention, leading me to enroll in their Ayurveda Health Counselor course.

The timing couldn't have been more perfect. I was facing some health issues, and the knowledge I gained during the course not only helped me understand my body and mental constitution better but also provided me with practical tools to address my health concerns through diet and lifestyle adjustments.

For me, this journey went beyond just learning about Ayurveda; it felt like the first step towards self-realization. The joy I felt in gaining knowledge and the satisfaction of being able to contribute to the well-being of my community by promoting physical and mental health were truly fulfilling.

YVI's commitment to delivering quality content was evident throughout the course. The support provided during office hours, especially by Ms. Raine, was invaluable. Her patience and willingness to address my queries ensured that I could make the most out of the learning experience.

Overall, my experience with YVI has been nothing short of exceptional. From the initial free course to the Ayurveda Health Counselor program, every aspect has exceeded my expectations. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this journey, and I look forward to continuing to apply and share the knowledge I've gained to make a positive impact on others' lives.

From bottom of my heart I thank YVI. With Love and Gratitude"

"I Am Amazed"

"Very grateful I chose Yoga Veda for my Ayurvedic education. As I travel to conventions and speak with students obtaining credentials from other institutions, I am amazed by how much I have learned.

While learning online can be challenging for most students, Yoga Veda delivers with exceptional instruction and guidance empowering the student to supplement their education and make the most out of their experience.

The curriculum is challenging and requires dedication and a time commitment. Yoga Veda was with me every step of the way and continues to provide support post-graduation through a vibrant community of alumni.

I was able to open my own practice immediately upon graduation and have been blessed to be able to serve my community thanks to the education I received at Yoga Veda Institute."

"Absolutely Fascinating"

"I completed my Ayurvedic studies with Yoga Veda Institute and it was one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had.

I loved every minute of the 3 years that I spent studying this beautiful healing philosophy and science with the wonderful Yoga Veda Team and teachers.

Everyone at Yoga Veda Institute was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. 

The lectures were absolutely fascinating and gave me a very thorough understanding of the Science of Ayurveda by the time I was finished.

The adult learning style was amazing and in spite of my already busy schedule I was able to keep up with everything whilst at the same time not feel too much pressure.

The communication from the team was phenomenal and I never had any query left unanswered.  I felt extremely supported throughout my studies and this is really important.  Yoga Veda also foster a wonderful community which is fantastic.  It is really nice to feel like you are part of a team.

I must give a special Mention to Raine who’s knowledge and support I could not have done without.  Nothing was ever a problem for her and she was always willing to go the extra mile to help me through the process.  She was phenomenal.  I also found all the lecturers very helpful and kind and the lessons were entertaining as well.

I am extremely grateful to have been part of this wonderful online learning institution and I would recommend it to anyone.  It is one of the best for sure.  Well done to the amazing team who I am sure work very hard to make this all happen for us.  Keep up the good work in the world.  Spreading this knowledge is so important today. Lots of special love and gratitude"

"Beyond Any Expectations"

"I've been part of the Ayurvedic Counsellor course through the scholarship program with Yoga Veda since September 2023 and my experience with them has been truly delightful. I'm very grateful that I get to experience such a variety of classes and vast knowledge shared by every teacher in their own individual way.

This course is very comprehensive and goes beyond any expectations in terms of curriculum and transmission of ancient therapies. What attracted me specifically to that school is the emphasize on Women's health and the couple of classes entirely dedicated to these important transitions in women's life presented through the Ayurvedic lenses. I highly recommend it for anyone willing to dive deeper into the wisdom of Ayurveda and connect more to their authentic empowered self.

We are also, as students, very much supported to grow our confidence and scope of practice as future counsellors/ practitioners with case study classes and a responsive compassionate staff always available to assist us.

This has been so far a transformative journey for me, filling my cup everyday with more knowledge and practical tools to live a more embodied Ayurvedic lifestyle and be in tune with my life's purpose. Thank you so much for the opportunity to study with you!"
