Join us...The world needs healers!
Learning about Ayurveda is like re-awakening to something that we already know! The Maharani Academy offers a unique signature style of training, called the 3 Gateways of Learning, through which we help students grasp the material intellectually, soulfully, and tactfully, to bring a sense of grace and professionalism into everything they do. We train health care professionals as well as lay persons in Ayurveda. Our trainings promote radiant health, committed self-care, and artful living and to help raise the standards of wellness and happiness in people, one treatment at a time.
Maha-Great
Rani-Queen
The name Maharani is a direct derivative of the founder’s legal last name, which translates from Sanskrit as “Great Queen.” It embodies the over-arching mission of the Academy -- to embrace the Divine Feminine as reflected in Mother Nature -- and to deepen our connection to the grace and beauty of Ayurveda. The name also speaks of noble integrity, and informs the academy’s vow to treat all people with regal respect and honor.
"Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot, seek the path that demands your whole being." Rumi
Ultimately, the goal of the Maharani Academy is to build a permanent Ayurvedic healing Sanctuary and educational center in Santa Barbara. A place that offers Ayurvedic treatments to the community and visiting guests as well as educational programs for students of Ayurveda and all who are interested in the Nature-based wisdoms of the Vedas.
A big part of the project includes the building of an adjacent animal Sanctuary, designed to connect visitors and students to the healing power of Nature and the animals, to help foster a renewed sense of kinship with all.
“Only a human heart that has opened itself toward empathy that also include animals, can fully expand its true potential. May we all help collectively heal each other and our beautiful planet with the Ambrosial gifts of Ayurveda. ” Corinna Maharani
