Practitioner Path -

Enrollment

Six months. 96+ live hours. Classical Sanskrit texts.
5 real clients. Original research. NAMA PACE-listed.

Begins 28 October 2026

 

What This Is

Most Ayurvedic nutrition training hands you three food lists – one per dosha – and calls it a certification.

This teaches you a method instead: how to read any food by its qualities, read any person by their state, and match the two. You'll learn it from the classical texts in Sanskrit, translated live. Then you'll practise it on real people until it's yours.

No food is good or bad. Once you can see what a substance is made of, you know how to modify it.

That's the reasoning this program teaches – with grains, legumes, dairy, oils, fruit, meat, spices, salt, and more for ten months.

 

What The Practitioner Path Includes
  • 96+ hours of live instruction – Wednesdays for teaching, Fridays for QnA
  • Study from the primary sources – Ashtanga Hridayam, Charaka Samhita, Bhavaprakasha Nighantu. Nidhi translates the verses live
  • A supervised client practicum – you work with 5 real people. Four of those cases come back with Nidhi's written notes on your reasoning
  • An original thesis project – research on a question you choose, presented to your cohort
  • A professional practice module – session structure, scope of practice, ethics, documentation, and building a practice with integrity
  • A modern science track – gut-brain axis, microbiome, inflammation, metabolic health, read alongside the classical material
  • Full certification upon completion, and 28 NAMA PACE credits

 

About The PACE Listing

NAMA is the body that sets professional standards for Ayurveda in the United States. This program is listed with them at 15 PACE credits under Topics in Ayurveda, approved at Health Counsellor, Practitioner, and Doctor levels.

If you're NAMA-certified, that's half your two-year continuing education requirement. If you're not, it means a national professional body reviewed this training and found it practitioner-grade.

 
Your Teacher

Nidhi Bhanshali Pandya – NAMA-certified Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner, author of Your Body Already Knows, creator of the Inner Climate® Method.

Classically trained: over five years at a gurukulam, with clinical training in Pune. She's worked with thousands of women since, in private practice and in long-form programs. When she tells you how a food behaves in a depleted body, it's because she's watched the text hold true a few hundred times.
