4. You need individualized feedback after each class.

If any of the above points resonate with you, Yoga Veda Institute may not be the best match for your learning goals. However, if you are ready for self-paced and group-oriented online learning, we are here to support your journey in Ayurveda.

Importance of Preceptors at Yoga Veda Institute :

At YVI we acknowledge the vital role that preceptors play in the educational journey of our students. As an institution, we do not require students to seek AAC recognition; hence, the in-person training requirement is waived for some our students.

However, we understand that for those seeking board certification under the AAC umbrella, in-person training becomes mandatory. In such cases, students are typically required to travel for training purposes. However, we offer an alternative option for those who prefer local training opportunities.

Our students have the opportunity to work with YVI pre-approved preceptors. These preceptors serve as invaluable mentors and guides, providing essential hands-on experience and guidance in clinical settings. By working closely with preceptors, students can gain practical insights and develop a deeper understanding of Ayurvedic practices.

For students who prefer not to travel or have limitations in doing so, the in-person requirement can be waived when working with a local, pre-approved faculty preceptor. Our preceptor program aims to facilitate a more accessible and convenient learning experience for students who opt for this pathway.

For further details on our Preceptor program and clinical placement options, we invite you to explore the “Clinical Placement” section of the Program Overview tab on our website. Should you require additional information about our clinical placement or preceptor program, please feel free to contact us. We are committed to providing our students with comprehensive support and guidance throughout their Ayurvedic education journey.

Students have the flexibility to complete the full program either 100% online through our distance learning international program or through our AAC recognized program. The AAC program allows students to work with a local (pre-approved) faculty preceptor or gain clinical experience in a setting outside our network as a transfer student.

If you wish to explore the option of working with a pre-approved regional faculty preceptor in your geographical region, we encourage you to contact our admissions department. They will be delighted to provide you with further information and guidance on the preceptor program to ensure a smooth and enriching learning experience tailored to your preferences and needs. We are committed to supporting our students in every step of their Ayurvedic education journey.

Currently, there are no licensing requirements for Ayurveda in any of the 50 states. However, as states begin to adopt licensing in the upcoming years, attending a school that has been reviewed and recognized by the Ayurvedic Accreditation Council (AAC) will become crucial for that process.

Students of Yoga Veda Institute (YVI) are well-positioned to become leaders in the field, with an easy and clear path to licensing when it becomes necessary. Our graduates can expect a smooth process towards licensure, thanks to the comprehensive education they receive at YVI.

Currently, graduates of YVI are eligible to sit for the National Ayurvedic Medical Association Certification Board (NAMACB) exam. By doing so, they are laying the foundation for the future licensure of the Ayurvedic Profession. We are committed to providing our students with the best education and preparation possible, ensuring they are at the forefront of the field and ready for any future developments in Ayurvedic licensure.

At Yoga Veda Institute, the acceptance of transfer credits depends on each individual case. We carefully review all transfer credit requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure a fair evaluation.

If you are not yet a AAC certified health counselor, you would start by applying to and enrolling in the Ayurvedic Health Counselor program. This program provides a comprehensive foundation and prepares students to become Ayurvedic Practitioners.

For individuals who are already certified Ayurvedic Health Counselors through the AAC, we offer the Ayurvedic Practitioner Program. This advanced program builds upon their existing knowledge and expertise.

Transfer credits may be applicable based on prior academic achievements or relevant coursework, while life experience credits may also be considered depending on individual experiences and qualifications.

We are committed to supporting our students in their educational journey and recognizing their prior accomplishments to create a personalized learning path that aligns with their goals and aspirations in Ayurveda.

We have a limited capacity and accept a maximum of 30 new students per trimester. Once this enrollment capacity is reached, a waitlist will be created for future openings.

Our Open Enrollment Initiative ensures that all students with Ayurvedic aspirations can enroll in our program. We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all, and there is no discrimination in the admission process. Anyone who feels called to Ayurveda is warmly welcomed to join our program. If our registration form is currently open and accepting new students, you can register today and embark on your Ayurvedic journey.

At any given time, we typically have over 300 certificate-seeking students at various stages of the program. This diverse and dynamic community fosters a rich learning environment where students can interact, collaborate, and grow together as they progress on their Ayurvedic path.
