Our Recognition
Small School.
Real Recognition.
The organizations and schools below recognize what we've built. We built this for the people other schools forgot: no campus nearby, no money for a $15,000 program, no time for a fixed schedule. Recognition like this makes that door a real one.
Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine
Yoga Veda is our legal name. The Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine is an independent platform. We are not accredited. 2222 W. Grand River Ave, Suite A, Okemos, MI 48864.
