Starts January 15th, 2011
Classes
will be held on 12 consecutive Saturdays
for a total of 12 classes. Class hours will be
9am to 5pm. Each student will be
responsible for preparing an Ayurvedic-themed
lunch for one or more of the classes. The
first two Saturdays will be lecture and
discussion. In classes 3 through 12, we
will be doing live consultations with two
clients, every 2 weeks. The first week
will be the initial intake, and the second week
will deliver the protocol to the client.
In the interim, each student's version of the
protocol will be posted to the google docs
account by Thursday.
