Copyright & Trademark Notice for Wise Earth Ayurveda® Programs
All programs disseminated by the Wise Earth School are original teachings restored from the long-lost grass-roots sadhana education of Ayurveda. Wise Earth Ayurveda® is based on the Inner Medicine education and work developed by Sri Swamini Mayatitananda. Unlike modern approaches to Ayurveda which are greatly influenced by allopathic medicine’s clinical and prescriptive nature, Wise Earth Ayurveda® is a preventative model of healing which informs that each and every person has the innate power to heal themselves once they are taught to use their Inner Medicine resources effectively.  

Wise Earth Ayurveda® education, teachings, content and creative sadhana prototypes are copyrighted worldwide and unauthorized use of it is strictly prohibited without formal written permission from the Wise Earth School of Ayurveda, Ltd.

Wise Earth Practitioner/Instructor Training

The Wise Earth program presents a unique methodology in Ayurveda sadhana practices developed by Sri Swamini Mayatitananda (Maya Tiwari). Organic sadhana practices of Food, Breath, and Sound; Ayurvedic Health Care for Women; and the Pancha Karma Sadhanas- are a few of Wise Earth Ayurveda's vast plethora of programs that we offer to the Wise Earth Ayurveda® instructor/practitioner in training. The long forgotten Earth-sadhanas such as Bhu Sveda - therapies done on the daubed surface of the earth or in pits dug into the earth are among the many healing and rejuvenative arts that have been restored into new life by the Wise Earth School . Among the many programs offered are Vedic Chanting, Ajapa - Japa Meditation, and the Healing Passes ™ – a therapeutic form of Yoga practiced with Wise Earth's unique methodology of linking movement, breath and sound in a series of postures that align our breath with lunar and solar rhythms.
Purpose of Wise Earth Practitioner Training Course

The primary motive of the Wise Earth Program is to train practitioners from all origins and backgrounds and from countries worldwide to implement the unique work and methodology of Wise Earth Ayurveda® into everyday living. Moreover, practitioners are encouraged to undertake this work to instruct and guide laypersons and to help foster the growth of Wise Earth Ayurveda® Sadhana local communities in their area for the betterment of health and consciousness throughout the world. These teachings make Ayurveda an affordable means of physical, mental and spiritual health care. The Wise Earth Ayurveda® program is designed for those who have a strong desire to reclaim personal awareness and global consciousness and to help others achieve abundant health. Graduates of the Wise Earth Program consist of a wide variety of health instructors/practitioners, yoga teachers, artists, nutritionists, cooks, medical doctors, therapists, nurses, social advocates and so on. Wise Earth School offers courses for three different stages of certification to its students.
