The Level II program is primarily experiential in nature. The objective is for you to progress from an intellectual understanding of the activities that are balancing for your individual constitution to actually incorporating them in your daily life.

Design and Implement a Daily Routine

With the assistance of your Ayurvedic counselor, you will design and put into practice a daily program that uses all five of your senses to restore and maintain balance.  You will meet regularly with your counselor to review your progress, pose questions and fine-tune your practice.

Incorporate Balancing Measures on the Physical,
Mental and Spiritual Levels

As a proper diet is essential for maintaining balance at the physical and mental levels, appropriate food selection, use of herbs, and meal preparation will be emphasized.  Care of the five sense organs, including appropriate cleansing techniques and self-massage, will also be addressed. 

Balance on the mental and spiritual levels is primarily stimulated through the practice of yoga asanas, appropriate breathing techniques and meditation. Your Ayurvedic counselor will assist you in developing a yoga practice and identifying meditation techniques that meet your needs.

Learn Ayurvedic Cleansing Techniques

Principles underlying the Ayurvedic system of toxin removal known as Panchakarma will be presented.  We will also review ghee-making and the preparation of kitcheree, a toxin-eliminating legume and rice dish used in Ayurvedic cleansing programs. If you make advance arrangements, you   may follow a cleansing routine during the program.

Seven-day Residential Program

All meals, two Ayurvedic massage treatments, and guided shoreline and mountain hikes are included in the program.
