Guiding Principles

While we ensure that the training and the experience, the teachers and institutions accredited by the International Association for Ayurvedic Healing Arts, have undergone are satisfactorily and comply with our standards we can not assess teachers' training skills. You might find that regardless of their training some instructors are more gifted than others to pass on knowledge, however, we are unable to assess these skills and accreditation with us is purely based on the school’s curriculum and the teachers training and experience.

We do not encourage students or teachers to only follow one specific religion or philosophy, however, we do encourage people to explore the many possibilities and techniques that exist for you to experience personal and spiritual growth and ultimately inner peace. One of these are the studies of the ancient vedic scriptures and its application in everyday life by doing meditation and yoga on a regular basis, which for itself already improves your health and wellbeing considerably.

As a teacher or practitioner of an accredited institution please read more on our Code of Ethics.

Our aim is to promote Ayurvedic therapies as complementary services to allopathic treatments and increase its reputation and the professional status of Ayurvedic healing professionals; as a teacher and practitioner we expect you to contribute to our cause by adhering to our Code of Ethics.

In order to not create conflict between the medical profession and holistic therapy practitioners, you as an ayurvedic healing practitioner will at no time maintain that your services can benefit the client more than those of a licensed physician. You understand that the services you provide are complementary to those of a licensed health care professional and that the greatest benefit for the client lies in a close collaboration between you as a holistic therapy practitioner and a licensed physician, each professional contributing differently and in a complementary way to the well-being of the client. Furthermore, you are made aware that you should not treat clients with serious mental health problems but advise them to see a licensed psychiatrist.
