I am thrilled to collaborate with Dr. Sujatha Kekada, an Ayurvedic practitioner based in Ubud, Bali, to co-create this course exploring the synergy of the sister sciences of yoga and Ayurveda. These two paths of wisdom complement each other and truly belong together.
Dr Sujatha and I each have over 20 plus years of experience in our respective fields, and we've collaborated in live trainings for nearly a decade. This course reflects our shared understanding that the practices of yoga and the science of Ayurveda can create a strong foundation of resilience and balance in the whole being.
Over 4 weeks, Dr. Sujatha will share the rich practical and conceptual foundations of Ayurveda, the science of life. We will explore putting this into practice with me as we apply it to daily life.
The course is explored through 4 week-long modules:
This course is designed for anyone and everyone who wants to better understand their bodies and enhance balance in their lives:
This course can apply for 25 continuing education hours through Yoga Alliance. It is also a core course for Janet's 300 hour program, and an elective for her 200 hour program (both 25 hours).
Enrollment is closed for our 2024 offering of this course. We will offer it again in 2025, and enrollment will open about 2 weeks before the course begins. As always, we will offer payment plans, sliding scale rates, and partial scholarships.
Janet’s studentship began at 17 under the meditation teachings of Prem Rawat. His reverence for simplicity and finding joy in the rise and fall of life live on in her practice and teaching today. In 1996, she traveled to India, the birthplace of her grandfather, and became dedicated to the path of yoga. Janet blends the alchemy of her own practice with decades of studentship. She aspires not to teach but to allow the practice to emanate from her, letting awareness blend with movement and breath. Based in Bali and San Francisco, she leads immersions, retreats, workshops and more.
Dr. Sujatha Kekada is the Head Physician and Co-Founder of AmrtaSiddhi. She is a certified Ayurvedic Doctor (B.A.M.S) with a degree from Rajiv Gandhi University, Karnataka, India.
Dr. Kekada’s profound understanding of Ayurvedic Medicine and her deep love for plants is the basis for her exceptional ability to diagnose the root causes of diseases and to find effective remedies.
Combining intuition and compassion with bright intelligence and a rock-solid pragmatism, she is able to effectively guide people truly individually – just as the spirit of Ayurveda demands.
We are using an intuitive, yet robust learning platform, called Mighty Networks. Once you enroll in the course, you’ll be invited to join the course + community space and you'll have access to the course intro.
In order to provide a container for this practice and process, one lesson will be covered each week for 4 weeks. As soon as you enroll, you’ll get access to introductory lectures and practices that will thread through the entire course.
The course is setup so that it works for individuals no matter where they live in the world. New content will be released each week, and you can work through the practices, videos and exercises at your own pace. The ongoing community connection in the Mighty Network sets up an amazing way for ongoing connection, wherever you are.
There is a physical practice designed to balance and attune each Dosha. Once these are introduced, you’ll be encouraged to explore your own Dosha and commit to the practice related to that Dosha (with room to visit the other practices in moments when those feel more activated).
Each week includes approximately an hour of video content, including Dr. Sujatha’s thematic overviews, practices, recipes and guidance around Ayurvedic principles, discussions and reading. We recommend watching the conceptual overviews twice at different times during the week, and integrating the practices into your daily practice.
We estimate this will translate into approximately 5-7 hours per module, with a longer session as you start each module, about 25 minutes of daily (or almost daily practice), 30-45 minutes of reading content, a revisit of the thematic overviews and reflections toward the end of the module.
Yes, absolutely. Once content for a week is unlocked, you will have access to that in the future. You can return to the course at any time and you’ll receive any updates to the curriculum for future course releases as well.
The course is non-refundable, since you get lifetime access to the content. If you have serious extenuating circumstances, email connie@janetstoneyoga.com and we’ll discuss options.
