Ayurvedic Health Counselor program and Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor course

A similar course to I.I.E.I.’s Ayurvedic Health Counselor program is being taught by K.P. Khalsa at Sevanti, titled: Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor program, but there are key differences in how each is structured and taught. Fall term content is not identical in the 2 programs. i.e. AWC through Sevanti is 4 accelerated weekends with Ayurveda basics. Certificate after those 4 weekends (Level 1) and continues with optional weekend classes, one weekend per month, for an additional year, for level 2. AHC program through I.I.E.I. is a one-year program, one weekend per month, plus recordings. Certificate at the end of the year.
