"Kathryn is an amazing teacher. I highly recommend The School of Ayurveda to anyone who wants to learn this ancient practice. The classical treatments are so important for creating and sustaining radiant health. Kathryn is genuine, and a very generous teacher taking the time for each of our individual needs. This time will have an everlasting impression on me. The support and love I've received have allowed me to fall in love with myself again! I am truly and eternally grateful to Kathryn and the school. I have built lifetime connections and a beautiful support system that I'll have for the rest of my life."

I am posting this review because the website contains a “testimonial” from me that is 100% fake, including an image of me taken from Google. I did not provide nor approve of a testimonial for The School of Ayurveda.

Edit: in addition to Kathryn taking zero accountability for faking my testimonial, which should be enough to convince you to look elsewhere, I ended up leaving the school after knowing for certain that the program would not prepare me to be a proper Ayurvedic Health professional. The program was a complete mess, having some instructors teaching sections that were prepared by other instructors and who were uninformed and not prepared to teach. The program didn’t offer any accountability for practicing Ayurveda, a lived art, and the information was continually watered down to assist students who struggled to comprehend what is a extremely difficult science for the western mind learn. Kathryn’s presence in the program was almost nonexistent and while I felt that a few of the instructors were very good, the program overall was a huge disappointment and I would recommend any aspiring student to choose a program that is National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) certified.

"I came into this wonderful school not knowing what to expect, I was not even sure if these practices would be a good fit for me. But I just fell in love with it. From the first moment, I felt welcomed, appreciated, nurtured, and loved. I did not have to pretend, hide, or wear a mask. The entire experience was inspirational and ground-shifting. I can't wait to continue my journey with Ayurveda."

The School of Ayurveda has been an expansive certification program. I believe is one of those programs that change your life for the better. the staff is very understanding and flexible with allowing you to study and absorb the information at your own pace. Both Kathryn and Rachael are super knowledgeable, loving and caring. I recommend anyone that will like to deepen their knowledge on Ayurveda to take this certification.

My yoga journey began in 2000. I had been practicing power yoga and ashtanga at the time. I was invited to an Ayurveda workshop weekend in 2017 after I was in a car accident. At that time, I couldn't do a physical practice, but was still needing yoga and all it can offer. After the weekend immersion, I knew this was a path for me. I have been training in Ayurveda since. I have changed my practice to more of a mindfulness flow and restorative, along with a Bikram Hot 26 series practice. The deeper knowledge this program offered me, allowed me to study deeper into the ways I can make changes to my diet, my movement, and my meditation to make me more overall healthier. After watching my dad suffer with so many health problems and procedures, I knew it was my job to study a more holistic lifestyle for myself first, then offer to those around me. This is only the tip of the iceberg, my journey continues into another level of the program, of which I can't wait to see where this practice takes me and how I can find my place to help others in need.
