Kerala Ayurveda Academy
Mission, Purpose and Commitment Our Mission is to integrate traditional Ayurvedic wisdom & healing with scientific research.
Our Purpose is to serve as an authentic source of Ayurvedic education, research and community health care.
Our Commitment is to academic excellence and an ongoing goal of providing the highest level of Ayurvedic training
outside of India.
WELCOME
The Kerala Ayurveda Academy (KAA) invites you to embark on a journey into the world of Ayurveda, where you
will discover a profound potential for health and well-being offered by a time-proven, harmonious and holistic
healthcare system.
Healthcare in the United States is changing. Health science has evolved enough to encompass our beliefs, our
emotions, our behavior, our thoughts, our family and cultural systems, as well as the environmental context in
which we live. All of these elements are relevant to our health. Ayurveda is a 5000 year old Indian system of
healing that encompasses these aspects while offering solutions to achieve harmony of the Body, Mind and
Spirit. Join us and get involved in this pioneering work that is transforming and reshaping our healthcare industry to a newer model of holistic health care for the 21st century.
Kerala Ayurveda Academy is committed to offering the highest quality of education and services to our students
so that they become the finest Ayurvedic health practitioners and educators in the future. KAA proudly offers the
same course available in our classrooms via Distance Learning to accommodate a larger number of students
around the country. Our aim is to maintain the authenticity of Ayurveda in the United States.
The KAA curriculum is based on an Ayurvedic educational curriculum from Indian universities and is very
challenging academically. Students will find studying at KAA intellectually stimulating and competitive. The
programs encompass all fields of Ayurveda including Ayurvedic Philosophy, Herbology, Psychology, Ayurvedic
dosha imbalance management, research, clinical practice, and clinical application.
We have assembled the most qualified and experienced faculty to teach Ayurvedic principles. Most faculty
members have Ayurvedic degrees from prestigious universities in India and 15 to 30 years of clinical experience.
So, feel assured that you will receive an authentic Ayurvedic education. The program coordinators at each
location are also very supportive and eager to assist students in any way they can.
We at KAA congratulate you for your decision to join us and be a part of an inner circle of Ayurvedic practitioners
who promote healing, Wellbeing and Wellness.
Warm Regards,
Dr. Jay Apte,
Director
Kerala Ayurveda Academy
Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar Executive Director

Objectives
• To maintain the authenticity and highest integrity of Ayurvedic Principles
• To teach the Student to discern between Health and Disease and offer true holistic practices in
healthcare to their clients
• To maintain a highly competent and experienced faculty of Clinical Practitioners who are committed to
upholding the highest standard of education
• To offer a rich facility for clinical practice and research to our students during their term at KAA
• To offer students the opportunity to serve the wellbeing of their clients using the powerful tenets of
Ayurvedic Nutrition, Life Style, Herbology and Ayurvedic Psychology, as well as Meditation, Pranayama
and the disciplines of Yoga
• To give students the wisdom and principles of Ayurvedic Prognosis, Pathogenesis and Psychology
along with a variety of cleansing and health building techniques (including Panchakarma and Rasayana)
that they are equipped to make knowledgeable recommendations to balance the Body, Mind and Spirit
The State Approved Institute Kerala Ayurveda Academy (KAA) is approved in California and Washington and is pending approval in New
York State and Texas. Our academic programs meet the standards set in terms of facility, faculty qualifications,
financial stability and student records in the states where we are approved. KAA is dedicated to spreading
Ayurvedic knowledge and wisdom across the United States. The majority of our facilities include an Ayurvedic
clinic, Panchakarma center, library, herb room and classroom.
The Future for KAA Students This is the era of complementary medicine. According to a report developed by the Institute for Alternative
Futures—Today, complementary and alternative approaches to health and medicine are among the fastest
growing aspects of health care. In 1990, one-third of the U.S. population used some form of alternative approach
to health care. By the year 2010, at least two-thirds will.
Health science has reached a point where it is no longer accurate to discuss psychology versus biology, the mind
versus the body or nature versus nurture. These processes are inextricably linked. Our beliefs, our emotions, our
behavior, our thoughts, our family and cultural systems, as well as the environmental context in which we live,
are all as relevant to our health as our genetic inheritance and our physiology.
Interestingly, complementary and alternative approaches such as Ayurveda, oriental medicine and homeopathy
already have extensive knowledge of the individual differences built into their diagnostic and therapeutic
systems. We must expect these complementary modes of analysis to become integrated into conventional care.
This is the perfect time for Ayurvedic graduates. They have a unique opportunity in this day and age to create
very successful careers. Licensed health care practitioners can utilize their Ayurvedic knowledge to enhance their
current practice. Massage therapists and body workers can open Panchakarma centers. Students interested in
health and beauty might start Ayurvedic spa and beauty centers, or wellness centers. Freelance writers may start
Ayurvedic publications. Research savvy students may get involved in Ayurvedic research projects—The Office of
Alternative Medicine funds many research projects in holistic health care. Business entrepreneurs might
develop Ayurvedic herbal products, food packages, or even Ayurvedic cosmetics. Students in academics may get
into teaching or may want to deepen their education so they might pursue in-depth studies. It is really up to the
graduating student to invent or discover new avenues. KAA offers advanced classes to further their education
and also offers programs at our Kerala Ayurveda Academic Facilities in Cochin and Bangalore, India.

What Our Students Have to Say
I am thrilled to be having this experience...it is way more "moving" then I could
have anticipated and I wish to thank you and everyone who is helping me
along the way. I embrace the gift and always wish to communicate the
gratefulness when it shines so brightly. Best to you.
~Suzanne Tugman, Current Student
The certified practitioner program offered by the Kerala Ayurveda Academy in
Seattle has been very informative, and professionally delivered. The
instructors have been outstanding and the program overall is of very high
quality. The quality of the DVD's is excellent and provides a great alternative
to attending class in person.
~Diana Lurie, Current Student
Professor, University of Montana
Why wasn’t I born in India? I sat through class the entire weekend and all I could think about was how happy I was
that I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for after so many years. I just kept saying to myself how this “fits” me.
I woke up yesterday thinking about my Constitution and all I want to do is cry from experiencing such a joy in finding
this program. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your vision and bringing it to me.
~ T. J., 2007 Graduate
My experience at the Academy has been nothing short of wonderful in each and every regard. In conversation related
to KAA, I repeatedly find myself using the same adjectives… educational, enjoyable, practical and indispensable. Over
the past year and a half, I have sincerely enjoyed not only learning the philosophy and practice of Ayurveda, but also
witnessing firsthand its benefits as I began applying that, which I learned in school. As this practice progressed, I
watched my relationship with family, friends and myself blossom to levels I never could have imagined. KAA has
taught me that Ayurveda is truly a way of life, a balanced life and a better life. It is with excitement that I graduate,
eager to begin educating and healing others just as I’ve been educated and healed over the past 18 months.
~ Kari Jansen, 2006 Graduate
I feel that I want to share it, that my year with the Academy was really fantastic. I brag about your program any
chance I am given because people are asking me how I can be doing as much as I am doing. The only way I could do it
was because of the truly quality teaching that I received at the Academy from Dr. Apte and the others of course. I am
happy to and would love to give recommendations for your program, to any perspective student.
~ Patricia Callahan, 2004 Graduate

Program Overview
Learn Ayurveda—Experience Wellness—Help Others Kerala Ayurveda Academy represents the integration of several national Ayurvedic Institutions, including the
Ayurveda Institute of America (AIA), the Aloha Ayurveda Academy (AAA) and the AYU Ayurvedic Academy. It is
the first institute in US to provide authentic Ayurvedic programs throughout the country. We currently offer
programs in San Francisco CA, Foster City CA, Los Angeles CA, San Diego CA and Seattle WA and are awaiting
approval for locations in both Austin TX and New York NY.
Ayurveda, the wisdom (Veda) of life (Ayu), is a part of the world's oldest Vedic spiritual system. According to
Ayurveda, harmony at the level of the Body, Mind and Spirit is true health. Ayurveda emphasizes a focus on the
individual rather than a disease. The concept of Body Constitution distinguishes Ayurveda from many other
healing sciences. Knowledge of Ayurvedic science in today’s world is essential. Conventional medicine has its
strength in dosha imbalance management and treatment. Ayurvedic science is aimed at the preservation of
health and prevention of disease by establishing balance and harmony through nutrition, herbs, meditation, and
daily routines. Conventional medicine is a science that takes care of the physical body and its systems. Ayurvedic
science provides knowledge to unfold the reality beyond the physical body and achieve harmony of Body-Mind-
Spirit. The World Health Organization recognizes Ayurveda as a complete natural health care system.
How will Ayurvedic training help me?
If you are seeking improvement of your health or looking to find alternative remedies to manage your disease,
learning Ayurveda is valuable. If you are a Yoga teacher, massage therapist, chiropractor, nurse or physician
wanting to serve your clients better, training in Ayurveda can provide significant benefits. The training offered
by KAA will help you integrate Ayurvedic wellness principles and practices into your personal and professional
lives. Unlimited opportunities await the Ayurvedic Practitioner in the field of natural holistic health care, public
education, research and writing. As an Ayurvedic practitioner you will help others in their healing process as a
teacher, wellness coach, doctor and/or healer.

Students who take our AWC or AWP course via Distance Learning receive the same quality of instruction in a slightly
different format. They receive all course materials and are provided DVDs of the live weekend classes. Our Distance

Students may not retake quizzes. Any exam not passed may be retaken one time. The grades are averaged together, and
the average must be above 70%.
25. Clinical Internship—AWP Program Only
The clinical internship (150 hours) helps students make the transition from student to practitioner. This is a special and
important time in the development of the student. During this phase of education, students will be observing patients
under the supervision of a clinical supervisor.
On-Site Internship
Students are welcome to complete their internship near their location. Every student is under the guidance of a clinical
supervisor who supervises individual cases, monitors progress, and assures completion of all required hours and
reporting. Supervisory case discussions may be scheduled in person or by phone at the student’s expense.
Field Internship
Students may also apply to perform their internship by serving in their own communities or apprenticing with a
practitioner or clinic of their choice. Students will be accepted for a field internship on the basis of past business or
clinical experience and/or their understanding of the commitment needed to succeed in an off-site internship. In
exceptional cases, Kerala Ayurveda Academy will assist students in finding internships in India. Each intern will be
responsible for completing and reporting all required hours.

California Refund Policy
The registration fee is nonrefundable. 100% of the tuitions will be refunded if the student decides to cancel
his/her enrollment before the end of the first day of the class. There will be no refund if the student decides to
withdraw after 60% of the classes are over.
A written notice from the students, about the cancellation will be required. A telephone call about cancellation
or absenteeism for the classes will not be considered as true cancellation. In such cases, student will not receive
the refund for that period. The refund will be processed within 30 days from the day the Institute receives the
official written notice of cancellation from the student. The refund check will be mailed to the official address of
the student.
In case student decides to withdraw during the program, before the 60% of the classes are over, following will
be the refund calculation:
Refund Calculation
(Total Tuition Paid) – (Payment Plan Monthly Ratio x Number of Classes Attended) = Total Refund
Example
A student decides to withdraw after four (4) classes and if he/she has paid the full tuition, the refund will be as follows:
Tuition paid $ 5000.00
4 (Number of classes attended) x 455.00 $ 1820.00
$5000.00 – $1820.00 $ 3180.00
Total Refund $ 3180.00
Similar calculations will be applied for the AWP program tuition refund.
California Student Tuition Recovery Fund
The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the Legislature to protect any California resident
who attends a Private postsecondary Institution from losing money if you prepaid tuition and suffered a financial
loss as a result of the school closing, failing to live up to its enrollment agreement or refusing to pay a court
judgment.
To be eligible for STRF, you must be a “California resident” and reside in California at "the time the enrollment
agreement is signed. Students who are temporan1y residing in California for the sole purpose of pursuing an
education, specifically those who hold student visas, are not considered a California resident.
To qualify for STRF reimbursement you must file a STRF application within one year of receiving notice from the
Council that the school is closed. If you do not receive notice from the Council, you have 4 years from the date of
closure to file a STRF application. If a judgment is obtained you must file a STRF application within two years of
the final judgment.
It is important that you keep copies of the enrollment agreement, financial papers, receipts or any other
information that documents the monies paid to the school.
Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational
Education. 400 R street Ste # 5000 Sacramento. CA 95814-6200 (916) 445 – 3427
