Why Ayurveda in Sacramento?
Sacramento's wellness market is shaped by the California state government workforce (the largest concentration in the country), UC Davis Medical Center, and the broader Sacramento Valley agricultural community. Our cohorts here often include state employees in mid-career questioning, healthcare workers, and educators.
For students of Ayurveda specifically, Sacramento's scene is a particularly good match: state government and uc davis pipelines. adjacent to bay area but more affordable. The local cohort runs in venue partners around Midtown Sacramento, East Sacramento, Davis, with public transit and parking accessible from across the metro.
Sacramento students are often 35-55, with backgrounds in state government, education, healthcare, and agriculture. The cohort is more practical and less trend-driven than coastal markets.
What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Ayurveda as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
Ayurveda is the traditional medical system of India, with documented roots going back at least three thousand years (the Caraka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, foundational classical texts, were compiled around 200 BCE to 200 CE from earlier oral traditions). It is one of the world's oldest continuously-practiced wellness systems and remains widely practiced in India today, where Ayurvedic doctors are state-licensed alongside biomedical practitioners.
Ayurveda's central framework is the three doshas: vata (the subtle, mobile, dry principle associated with movement and the nervous system), pitta (the transformative, warm, sharp principle associated with digestion and metabolism), and kapha (the stable, cool, moist principle associated with structure and lubrication). Every individual carries a specific constitutional balance of the three (prakriti) and a specific current imbalance (vikriti); Ayurvedic recommendations work to bring the current state back toward the constitutional baseline through food, lifestyle, herbs, and seasonal routines.
The Ayurveda curriculum in Sacramento: 15 in-person days.
Fifteen days to read a constitution, cook for it, and guide a full consultation.
