What
students are saying
about ChayaVeda's
Ayurveda
and Yoga Teacher
Certification:
“It gave
me a better understanding
of Ayurveda and how to
apply it to my daily life.
Recognizing imbalance, and
how to apply diet and
lifestyle changes to
return to harmony. I’ve
learned how much Yoga and
Ayurveda compliment each
other and learned so much
about Ayurveda, I’d need a
lot of pieces of paper to
begin to write them”. Tina Reed,
RN, Land O’Lakes, Florida
“My
experience of this program
was “beautiful”. Chaya
emanated “love,” “beauty”
and “passion” in her
lessons with life
experiences, in a
brilliant and unique way.
This program offered
reinforcement to my
intuition.
It was a life altering
experience”. Ophelia,
Educator, event planner and
yoga instructor, Palm Coast,
Florida
“ChayaVeda
was a life changing
experience! The experience
is about looking at
yourself through the
mirror of Ayurvedic
science, and looking at
the world around too with
the mirror is fascinating!
I feel like I can, with
this knowledge and
discrimination, choose
better, what I eat. I
learned how both sister
sciences complement each
other and how to integrate
both paths for a better
lifestyle, diet, exercise,
herbs, etc…. I will
integrate what I’ve
learned into helping
others to choose better,
depending on constitution
. I feel more
knowledgeable than before
in this subject”. Viviana
Collazo, Spritual Counselor,
Yoga and meditation teacher,
Orlando, Florida
“My
understanding of Ayurveda
was deepened through the
comprehensive approach to
yoga, to include the use
of mudras, mantras and affirmations
in an Ayurvedic Yoga
Practice. I began paying
more attention to my
dietary choices, a few
changes that are making a
significant difference in
my digestion. After being
a student of yoga for 12
years, and Ayurveda for
almost as long, I have
learned I could study for
the rest of my life and
still be a student. This
workshop provided a
context of yoga as a part
of Ayurveda and broadened
the study to include many
parts of yoga that are
often omitted in the west.
I have been integrating
Ayurveda into my personal
life for several years,
and will continue to
integrate the information
from this course as it
makes sense in my life.
Professionally, as a yoga
teacher, I will be trying
to get a better sense of
what my students “need” in
their practice based on
their general
constitutions and season
and try to provide a
balanced practice”. Jaime
Boswell, Environmental
Scientist and Yoga
Teacher, Bokeelia,
Florida
“This
program was
exciting….diving into a
very layered and
complicated subject with a
really good navigator! The
depth of the subject of
Ayurveda,
philosophy, gunas,
the process of getting to
the root causes were most
valuable. I have noticed
more self awareness,
understanding human
nature, and others habits,
fears and patterns, and
about how interconnected
they are. I’m integrating
daily routine to my day
and encouraging others.
Also when teaching, to
bring some aspect of
Ayurveda to light. Chaya,
you covered so much, I
don’t think you could add
more”. Thank you! Kathy
Fotterall, Yoga Teacher and
Yoga Therapist, Vero Beach,
Florida and Belfast, Maine
“The
program was challenging,
overwhelming, too much,
too vigorous, too hard and
exactly what was needed.
The food and
self-realization was most
valuable for me and I
noticed more attention to
affects of foods.
I learned more than I can
describe”. Roberta
Lacefield, Mathematician,
farmer and yogini, White
Springs, Florida
“A
blessing to be together
with you, Chaya, to learn
about a subject I was
interested in but knew
little and with such a
lovely group. I’ve noticed
I am more grounded and
noticing just a little
different way of looking
at myself- less critical”. Dottie,
Yoga teacher, White Springs,
Florida
“Loved
the workshop. All three
weekends. I learned more
in the first weekend than
all other Ayurveda
workshops combined. I’m
much more aware of my
eating habits and other
things I do that are
harmful to me. Yoga and
Ayurveda when used
together are very powerful
and healing. I’ve also
learned how to apply my
teaching of yoga and
Ayurveda.
I loved all of it!! Thank
you!!” Micki Padma
Higgins, Yoga Teacher, Palm
Coast, Florida
