Ojas is one of the most subtle and essential concepts in Ayurveda, shaping vitality, resilience, immunity, mental clarity, and longevity. In this intermediate to advanced-level class, you explore ojas as the refined essence of nourishment that arises from digestion, metabolism, lifestyle, emotional balance, and consciousness. Drawing from classical Ayurvedic texts and applied clinical understanding, the course examines how ojas is formed, how it is depleted or disturbed, and how it functions as the energetic “glue” that sustains body, mind, and awareness.
You will examine the relationship between ojas and the seven tissues (dhātus), the role of agni in transforming food into vitality, and how factors such as stress, overexertion, digestion, emotional strain, and sensory overload influence long-term resilience. The course also explores the subtle relationship between ojas, prāṇa, and tejas, and how these forces shape psychological stability, perception, memory, and endurance.
This class is designed for Ayurvedic students and practitioners with prior training who want a deeper theoretical and practical understanding of ojas and its role in health, aging, and consciousness.

Ojas is described in Ayurveda as the most refined expression of nourishment in the body—the distilled essence of digestion, tissue formation, and balanced living. In this in-depth intermediate and advanced class, you explore ojas not as an abstract concept, but as a functional principle that underlies immunity, stamina, emotional steadiness, cognitive clarity, and the capacity for long-term vitality.
The course begins by examining classical Ayurvedic descriptions of ojas, including its formation through the sequential nourishment of the seven dhātus and its close relationship to agni. You explore how ojas circulates through the body, how it is stored, and why it is considered essential for sustaining life, perception, and resilience. Particular attention is given to how modern patterns of stress, overstimulation, irregular digestion, and emotional strain quietly erode ojas over time.
The psychological dimension of ojas is also explored in depth. You examine how adequate ojas supports steadiness of mind, memory, discernment, and emotional tolerance, and how depletion may manifest as fatigue, sensitivity, instability, or reduced adaptability. The class situates ojas within the broader framework of prāṇa and tejas, clarifying how these subtle forces interact to support both physiological and mental balance.
Rather than offering prescriptive protocols, the course emphasizes principles—how nourishment, daily rhythm, behavior, sensory input, rest, and awareness collectively influence the body’s ability to build and preserve ojas across the lifespan. The result is a cohesive, classical, and applied understanding of one of Ayurveda’s most important foundations.
