Empowering students to explore the science of self-healing.

Promoting Ayurveda education and practice.

 

The Minnesota Institute of Ayurveda invites you to discover the science of healing! Ayurveda is an ancient science of healing that originated in India over 5000 years ago. In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda means “the science of life.”

It emerges from the ancient Vedic culture and was passed down for many thousands of years through oral traditions from spiritual masters to their disciples. Based on the eternal principles of mind, body, and spirit, this healing system can be applied to the modern world and integrated with the current healthcare system
