What makes this training so unique is that you will discover the depth and power of Ayurveda by studying this ancient science through the lens of a living lineage. The Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda (SVA) is a rare, living Ayurvedic lineage that has been preserved and passed down for thousands of years through the Shaka dynasty of Vaidyas (Ayurvedic healers).

Revived in modern times by Vaidya R.K. Mishra, SVA uniquely integrates classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science, emphasizing gentle detoxification, vibrational medicine (mantras, sound therapy), and precise herbal formulations to restore harmony at the deepest levels. Unlike mainstream Ayurveda, SVA focuses on subtle vibrational healing, pranic balance, and customized protocols that protect and nourish the body while detoxifying it effectively. This one-of-a kind training bridges the wisdom of the ancient lineage (SVA) with the practical, clinical application of Ayurvedic healing techniques in modern practice.

What you will learn in LEVEL 1 - Ayurveda for Healers and Bodyworkers:

This course is designed to unfold in 12 segments over the course of 3 month. Each month we deepen what we learned during our weekly Online call with interactive Q&A, allowing the material to sink in on multiple layers, intellectually, soulfully, and tactfully, with the intention to bring a sense of graceful confidence into everything we do. You can follow along the material in your own pace, yet we recommend you intent to follow along each week, so that the live classes make sense. Our first month focuses on awakening your Inner Wisdom, our second month theme is Refinement of your skills, and our last month theme is bringing it all together in our Healing Rituals.

This first month, we will deepen our understanding of the foundational principles of PanchaKarma, Ayurvedic Sacred Bodywork™, and the integrated wisdom of the SVA lineage. As we explore these teachings, we will also cultivate deeper self-care and self-awareness, strengthening our inner guidance system while expanding our healing toolkit. In LEVEL 1, we focus on the theoretical foundations of this profound work, but also study hands-on practices through live/online demos, videos and detailed treatment protocols, plus:

✨ Discover the restorative practices of Ayurvedic bodywork and PanchaKarma detox techniques
✨ Enhance your self-knowledge by understanding Prana, Ama, and the energetic mapping of the body (Marma)
✨ Study Ayurvedic anatomy and specialized healing techniques and their role in Marma Therapy

This immersive journey will awaken a deeper connection to Ayurveda, your practice, and your ability to guide others on their healing path.

Understanding the subtle, refined aspects of Ayurvedic bodywork and PanchaKarma allows us to work in harmony with the flow of Prana, learning to channel, sustain, and share it with deep respect for the principles of this ancient healing tradition. Through this training, we refine our ability to facilitate profound healing. This month's focus includes:

✨ Sacred Preparation – Purification, grounding, and energetic alignment for healing rituals

By integrating these teachings, we elevate our sensitivity, skill, and presence as healers, cultivating a practice that is both deeply effective and powerfully aligned with the PanchaKarma traditions and ancient rituals.

In Ayurveda, every therapy is more than a technique—it is a healing ceremony. Crafting a sacred healing space is an art form, where the senses are nourished with loving care, and each treatment becomes a personalized, transformative experience. In this space, Art, Beauty, and Healing are deeply interwoven, allowing both practitioner and recipient to experience profound restoration. As we deepen our understanding of Ayurveda and the integrate, ancient techniques, we build a strong foundation in both our personal lives and professional healing practices. This segment of the training will focus on:

✨ Cooking fundamentals for detoxification and rejuvenation
✨ Setting the Scene – Creating a sacred healing environment for your practice
✨ Preparing Ayurvedic oils, potions, and decoctions for PanchaKarma and beyond
