Do I need a medical background to join?

For Fundamentals, no. It’s designed for interested laypeople, yoga teachers and wellness professionals. For Panchakarma training and clinical modules, we ask that you are a BAMS/MD student, a qualified therapist, or a licensed practitioner in a related field.

What language is training conducted in?

English, with Sanskrit terms defined as we go. Hindi and Marathi are available for one-to-one sessions on request.

Is the certificate recognised?

The certificate is issued by Chakrapani Ayurveda Clinic & Research Centre and is accepted by many practice bodies as continuing-education hours. We are not a degree-awarding university — for BAMS or MD equivalence you need a recognised Ayurveda university programme.

Where do trainees stay?

In-house trainees stay at Maitri (in our premises) or Aashiyana (a short walk away). Air-conditioned rooms, sattvic vegetarian meals to your needs, a shared library and quiet study space are included.

Can I combine training with a Panchakarma?

Yes — many trainees do. In-house trainees get a discount on therapy sessions during their course, and your physician can prescribe a personal protocol you undergo during training days.

Fill out the enquiry form or email us with the track you’re interested in, your background and rough dates. We’ll design a course around them and confirm dates on a 10% advance.
