Accredited
Ayurveda Courses

A growing number of people find themselves attracted to holistic or alternative therapies and natural approaches to maintaining optimum health and vitality. People learn Ayurveda for various reasons. With some, it is to address a personal health issue, such as digestive disorders, skin problems, and so on. Ayurvedic training offers a diverse range of career pathways and opportunities are increasing with the acceptance of Ayurveda into western medicine, which include Ayurvedic Lifestyle Management Consultant, Ayurvedic Massage Therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, Ayurvedic Healthy Eating Consultant., Ayurvedic Cook, Vedic Life Coach, etc. Some of our graduates are working in their own clinics, some are teaching our courses. Our teachers have a strong interest in natural health, yoga, and meditation. 

Ayurveda is a system of healing which evolved on the Indian subcontinent continent some 3000–5000 years ago. It was established by the same great ancient sages who produced India’s original systems of meditation, yoga, and astrology. It is a medical system which emphasises that all human beings have their origins in nature, and that we are an integral part of the whole universe, thereby having both a spiritual and practical basis. As every human being is different and unique, Ayurveda emphasises the unique and personalised approach in managing each individual being.

The art of restoring and preserving wholeness by integrating and balancing body, mind and spirit, is central to Ayurvedic medicine. With a focus on absolute, perfect health and not disease, Ayurveda embraces all areas of life, including health, relationships, work-life balance, career, and universal spirituality. 

Ayurveda aims to: 

• maintain the health of those who are well, and not suffering from any disease condition by regulating diet and nutrition, exercise, hygiene and lifestyle.
• alleviate disease and illness through accurate diagnosis and administering or remedies and therapies to restore balance and good health. 

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word which derives from two roots, ‘vid’ which means knowledge or science, and ‘ayus’ which means daily living, or life cycle. This science of life was taught for many thousands of years in an oral tradition from accomplished masters rishis, to their disciples. Some of this knowledge was set to print a few thousand years ago, but much of it is inaccessible. The principles of many of the natural healing systems now familiar in the West, have their roots in Ayurveda. 

HIA's Ayurvedic courses are dedicated to the integration of authentic, Vedic education with the enlightened Western ideas of today, and our accredited educators include experienced Ayurvedic Practitioners, some of whom originally trained in India. Our experienced practitioners achieve wonderful results through sophisticated detoxification processes, lifestyle advice, diet, exercise, herbal therapy and stress management through yoga, pranayama and meditation.

Health Institute Australasia offers both Australian government accredited Ayurvedic courses, and short Ayurvedic courses, training intensives and workshops*. Follow links below to learn more about each course.

*NOTE: Please note that many of HIA's short courses and workshops are a component of our government-accredited training programs from the Health Training package. These programs are also CRICOS-approved for HIA delivery. However, when taken individually, although these units of competency are government accredited, to be eligible for Austudy or a student visa, students need to enrol in the complete, accredited course, such as the HLT52615 Diploma of Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultation or the HLT62615 Advanced Diploma of Ayurveda.
