Certification & Titles Upon Graduation
Upon successful completion of the full program, including the Gurukul preceptorship in-person study, students will earn distinguished titles reflecting their level of expertise:
- Ayurvedic Health Counselor: For students completing 600 hours of study, including in-person requirements.
- Ayurvedic Practitioner: For those who complete 1500 hours of study, encompassing all in-person training.
These titles signify a comprehensive understanding of Ayurvedic principles and practices and qualify graduates to sit for the NAMACB board exam.
Upon successful completion of our program's coursework, students who forgo the in-person Gurukul preceptorship will be awarded a "Certificate in Ayurvedic Studies," either for 600 or 1500 hours, depending on the program track chosen. While this certification does not confer the specific titles of Ayurvedic Health Counselor or Ayurvedic Practitioner, it represents a comprehensive education in Ayurvedic principles and practices.
Graduates of the Ayurvedic Studies program can take pride in knowing that their education is held to the high standards reviewed and recognized for quality within the Ayurvedic community. This certificate is a testament to their dedication and expertise, allowing them to work and practice confidently in the field of Ayurveda.
For those seeking to attain the formal titles and eligibility to sit for the NAMACB board exam, we recommend completing the in-person requirements. However, the "Certificate in Ayurvedic Studies" is a significant credential, reflecting a rigorous and complete education that empowers graduates to contribute meaningfully to the field of Ayurvedic Medicine.
Prerequisite/Co-requisite
Anatomy & Physiology Co-requisite:
The Ayurvedic program requires students to complete 6 college-level credits, typically recognized as Anatomy and Physiology I and Anatomy and Physiology II in the USA. This equates to a combined total of 90 hours of classroom instruction from an accredited institution, whether through a community college or virtual campus. These credits must be explicitly earned in courses titled "Anatomy & Physiology" at the collegiate level.
To fulfill the co-requisite for the Ayurvedic program, students must provide official documentation—either a certificate or transcripts—confirming the completion of 6 college-level credits or 90 hours of classroom instruction in Anatomy & Physiology. This documentation should clearly state the student's name, the specific course title as "Anatomy & Physiology," and the credits or hours completed, from an accredited institution.
Please note, completion of a Yoga Training Course, even if it includes content on Anatomy & Physiology, does not meet this pre/co-requisite. Fulfilling this requirement within the program's timeframe is essential for successful graduation.
Class Schedule
At our institute, we prioritize live, interactive web conference classes, diverging from the common approach of other schools that offer up to 600 hours of pre-recorded "asynchronous" content in their Ayurvedic Practitioner programs. We believe in the value of real-time collaboration and instruction, which is why the majority of our classes are offered live. However, recognizing the need for flexibility, we provide students with the option to select up to 600 hours of the Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission (AAC) approved allowance for asynchronous study, to be used at their discretion. This empowers our students to tailor their learning experience to fit their individual schedules and learning styles, all while maintaining the high standards of our live educational offerings.
Please check the Course Catalog for specific class schedule, dates, and class times.

Gurukul Clinical Preceptorship
At Yoga Veda Institute, we revere the Gurukul tradition, where the sacred bond between a preceptor and student is central to the transmission of Ayurveda's ancient wisdom. This mentorship is more than an educational exchange; it is the heartbeat of tradition, nurturing the spiritual core of Ayurvedic practice.
Through this time-honored approach, we offer a genuine Ayurvedic education that weaves the threads of age-old knowledge with the vibrant potential of modern application. As you journey with us, you are shepherded by devoted preceptors who are not just educators but custodians of Ayurveda's enduring legacy, dedicated to fostering the healers of tomorrow.
For our students, the preceptorship is an integral component of their educational experience. Ayurvedic Health Counselors are required to complete 180 hours, while Ayurvedic Practitioners must fulfill 540 hours of preceptorship. These hours are a portal to hands-on learning and a deeper immersion into the practical aspects of Ayurveda.
Options for engaging with a preceptor are diverse:
- Volunteer Positions: Offer your service in exchange for invaluable learning and mentorship.
- Paid Positions: Work in a professional environment, gaining experience while earning compensation.
- Intensive Courses: Participate in structured programs that combine mentorship with clinical practice.
It's important to highlight that preceptorship is not a requirement for students not pursuing NAMACB board certification, which includes many of our international students. These students have the option to complete the full curriculum and hours of study through our comprehensive weekly clinical internship class, conducted on our virtual campus. This adaptable approach ensures that our program meets the diverse needs and goals of our global student community, while adhering to personal and regional educational objectives.

Designed for Success
Yoga Veda Institute’s Distance Program is designed for the Ayurvedic student that needs the freedom from location and time flexibility that distance education offers. As valuable as this freedom is to the needs of many students, many students find that they need certain elements of structure in order to be successful in their program.
Students are most likely to be successful in the YVI distance program if they:
- Are self-directed learners
- Are able to work independently
- Have access to local clinical opportunities
Freedom of Location
Students are able to complete their academic studies wherever they live in the world. Students must have access to the internet (high-speed options highly recommended), and have word processing and printing capabilities.
Clinical Training
Students complete their clinical training with an approved local preceptor and through our online internship program. Students may wish to identify appropriate clinical training options prior to entering the YVI program. For those students who find travel to be an impossibility – various other options are available including transferring clinical studies from another recognized institution, working with a pre-approved faculty preceptor, or graduating as a non-certificate seeking student.
Time Flexibility
Students are able to complete academic and clinical work on their own time schedules. Students begin courses at the same time throughout the year; however, a student may find that they need extra time to complete a course. Students are encouraged to finish their courses within a trimester but may extend a course if necessary. Instructors, preceptors, and school mentors are available to support each student’s success in reaching their goals and moving through the program.
Major Maps
Major Maps are course completion schedules that students develop with the YVI Student Advisor. Major Maps allow students to see what course work must be completed within each trimester to meet the student’s graduation goal date. Major Maps give structure to the flexibility of YVI course work.
Financial Options & Incentives
YVI students do not need to worry about gathering a large sum of tuition all at once in order to finance their education. YVI offers students reasonable extended payment plans to make this program accessible.
The tuition covers all credits enrolled in at the beginning of each trimester.
Students can take as few or as many credits as they wish each trimester.
The Ayurvedic Practitioner program is designed to be completed in 2 years (6 trimesters). Students may take up to 6 years (18 trimesters) to complete the program with no additional fees.
Students who opt to pay in full at the time of enrollment will benefit from an additional Pay In Full savings. There are no additional fees. Additional payments will only be billed should the student take longer than the allotted timeframe to graduate, at which time will be billed at the published trimester tuition rate for each additional enrolled trimester.
ACCESSIBLE
Students can take as few or as many credits as they wish each trimester of enrollment.
Because the tuition covers all of the credits students who wish to take more credits will progress through the program faster.
THREE TrimesterS
The YVI academic year is divided into three trimesters.
Winter — January through March
Spring — April through June
Fall — October through December
Students may begin at any time throughout the year. Live classes commence at the beginning of each trimester. This encourages students to complete course work by the end of the trimester so that they can enroll in additional courses for the next trimester. The trimester system also allows students to begin new courses with other students at the same time, making student study groups more effective.
Personal Coaching
Personal coaching is a unique service that YVI offers students enrolled in the distance program. Students have access to a student advisor throughout their program. Student advisors can help students identify and overcome progress challenges, suggest Major Map changes, and provide accountability and support through the student’s program.
Peer Groups
For some distance education students, isolation is a concern. YVI strives to mitigate isolation through healthy learning communities and peer-led support groups. An affinity group of peers creates relationships and a culture of accountability to each other. YVI is providing Ayurvedic education wherever there is an internet connection!
Our students are building electronic communities across platforms and geographies!

Graduates of Yoga Veda Institute's certification program are well-positioned to become board-certified practitioners, enabling them to consult with clients legally within the United States.
It's crucial to acknowledge, though, that Ayurveda's legal status is under continuous development outside of its birthplace, India. Regulations governing the practice of Ayurveda vary from one country to another. We advise those practicing internationally to diligently research and adhere to the local laws and guidelines specific to Ayurvedic practice in their respective countries. Consulting with local authorities or national Ayurvedic organizations can provide clarity and guidance.
Staying abreast of the evolving legal framework for Ayurveda ensures that you can confidently and lawfully offer its profound benefits to those seeking holistic health solutions in your community.

What is the Importance of Accreditation?
In the competitive realm of education, accreditation is not just a badge of honor—it's a beacon of quality and a testament to an institution's commitment to excellence. However, the landscape is varied, and not all accreditations carry the same weight.
Some institutions may showcase accreditations that lack rigorous oversight or even tout credentials of questionable legitimacy. This is where discernment is key, especially when considering the significance of accreditation from esteemed bodies like the Ayurvedic Accreditation Commission (AAC).
Accreditation: The Benchmark of Excellence
Accreditation is the result of a voluntary, rigorous review process that educational institutions undergo to ensure they meet comprehensive standards of quality education. It's a seal of approval that signals to students, employers, and the wider community that the institution adheres to high-quality educational practices and is committed to ongoing improvement.
AAC: A Standard of Trust
The AAC is a pillar in the Ayurvedic educational community, recognized for its stringent accreditation standards. The AAC's exhaustive review process examines all facets of an institution's offerings—from its curriculum and faculty credentials to its learning resources and institutional support. This ensures that AAC-accredited programs are not only up to par with current educational standards but are also poised to prepare students for professional success in Ayurveda.
The Pitfalls of Unverified Accreditations
On the flip side, there are institutions with unverified accreditations that could potentially mislead students. These may involve minimal oversight or none at all, where the "accreditation" is granted upon payment rather than a substantive evaluation of standards. Such practices dilute the value of accreditation and potentially jeopardize the quality of education delivered.
Ongoing Assessment: The Heart of Accreditation
True accreditation involves continuous reassessment and renewal. Organizations like AAC don't just assess once; they maintain a cycle of regular reviews to ensure institutions continue to meet evolving educational standards and industry demands. This ongoing scrutiny fosters institutions' growth and adaptability, ensuring that the education provided keeps pace with the dynamic field of Ayurveda.
Why It Matters for Your Future
The implications of accreditation extend far beyond the classroom. Graduating from an AAC-accredited program can significantly enhance your professional credibility and open doors to employment opportunities that would otherwise remain closed. Employers and professional bodies often look for this accreditation as proof of a candidate's competent background.
As you navigate your educational choices, remember that AAC accreditation is more than a formality—it's a promise of quality and an investment in your future as a professional in the world of Ayurveda. So choose wisely, with the assurance that an AAC-accredited education is designed to propel you toward success and fulfillment in your Ayurvedic practice.

What is Yoga Veda's academic approach?
Ayurveda's recent rise in popularity reflects an increasing global shift towards holistic health and wellness. In response, numerous institutions now offer Ayurvedic education, each with its unique approach.
