THE FUTURE OF AYURVEDIC EDUCATION IS HERE
Learn anywhere. Practice globally. Find mentorship locally. Build real clinical experience. Create an education that fits your life.
Come see what we're building.
We built Yoga Veda for people who want quality Āyurvedic education without having to make a massive financial commitment before they even know where their studies will take them. Explore. Study. Go deeper. Change direction. Learn at your own pace.
Ayurvedic education, without the barriers.
For decades, Ayurvedic education has followed the same formula: high tuition, rigid timelines, fixed hours, standardized checklists, and institutional systems designed around yesterday’s idea of education.
That model had its time. We believe its time is over.
The world has changed. The way people learn has changed. The way people work has changed. Ayurveda is reaching people everywhere—and education needs to catch up.
So we’re not waiting. We’re moving forward.
No rigid timelines.
No one-size-fits-all pathway.
No education built around checking boxes.
Instead: Learn anywhere. Practice globally. Find mentorship locally. Build real clinical experience. Create an education that fits your life.
Other schools can continue building education the way it has always been built. We’re building what comes next.
The future of Ayurvedic education is here with Yoga Veda.
Yoga Veda Institute exists to make high-quality Ayurvedic education accessible to more people. We believe you shouldn’t have to spend thousands of dollars upfront, commit to a rigid academic path, or already know exactly where your studies will take you in order to begin.
Our simple membership model gives you access to a world of Ayurveda—courses, recordings, resources, community, and opportunities to keep learning—all for one small monthly or annual contribution.
We are a mission-driven school built around accessibility, flexibility, community, and lifelong learning.
Explore Ayurveda deeply, build professional knowledge, pursue a specialty, supplement your existing education, or simply learn for yourself. There is no pressure to buy a massive program before you know whether it’s right for you.
Start where you are, learn what interests you, and grow from there. We believe quality Ayurvedic education should be available to anyone who is called to learn—and we’re building Yoga Veda accordingly.

What Makes Yoga Veda Institute Different?
Every class, every module, every conversation happens online — study fully from home, wherever home is. Students join from every continent, studying live alongside classmates on the other side of the world.
Our teachers are working clinicians and lineage-holders, actively practicing this medicine today. KP Khalsa has practiced Āyurvedic herbalism for forty-five years. Marek Sawicki and Dr. Scott Roos both trained directly under Dr. Vasant Lad. This is knowledge still alive in the people teaching it.
Twenty-four modules, studied in whatever order calls to you, at whatever pace your life allows. Most students complete the program in two to four years — others take six, eight, or longer, returning to the same module in different seasons of their life. The medicine waits for you, however long that takes.
Live trimester classes bring students from Lagos, Lisbon, Ohio, and beyond into the same room, at the same hour. The person beside you in class today may be the colleague you call in ten years.
Enrollment starts with a genuine conversation with a real person on our team. A real registrar reviews every case study, with room to revise. This is a small, mission-driven school — you're a student here, known by name.
A simple membership you can pause or return to whenever life calls for it. Certification paid in manageable steps, at your own pace. Quiet financial assistance for students who need it. Accessible Āyurveda is why this school exists.
All Online,
Wherever You Are.
There's no campus to fly to, no visa to file, no timezone that leaves you out. Every class, every faculty office hour, every conversation happens online — reaching students studying Āyurveda from over 40 countries at once.

Built by Two People
Who Never Stopped Being Students of Ayurveda
Andy Betancourt & Jacquelyn Rae, Co-Founders of Yoga Veda Institute
We started this school because too many good people were being shut out of medicine that was never meant to be locked away.
Āyurveda means the knowledge of life. Not herbs. Not treatments. Life — lived in balance, with each other, in kindness.
So we built something soft. A place where showing up matters more than getting it right, where the real lesson is in how we treat one another, not in any single exam.
Here, you unlearn the harshness the world taught you, and remember how to be kind, curious, whole.
More than a school of Āyurveda. A school of life. Kindness first, always.
