From the Students

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world."
Patanjali     

Following are some of the many comments from
our students and graduates:

"Studying Ayurveda has been one of the best things I have done in my life. Though I use my education from CCA professionally, it would have been well worth it for my own health, longevity, and growth."
S.D., October 1995 Class

"The C.A.S. program was the beginning of a transformation of consciousness. CCA offers the wisdom of a divine science to those wishing enrichment and understanding of the new paradigm of health emerging today."
J.G., October 1999 Class

"Every day in my Ayurvedic practice I am so very grateful and inspired by this wonderfully inclusive science and for the depth of training I received from the California College of Ayurveda. My training has given me the opportunity to see the world in a new way and to help people recreate balance and harmony in their lives."
M.S., April 1997 Class

" My education at CCA was outstanding. CCA's complete instruction in Ayurveda enabled me to establish a successful clinical practice."
A.L., October 1995 Class

"I was ready for a major change in my life. The study of Ayurveda has turned out to be a profoundly transformative process. I am studying and experiencing healing, joy, and connectedness on amazingly deep levels."
T.K., October 1999 Class

"At CCA I received a very focused training in Ayurveda. The feedback I received challenged me, helping me to better understand the philosophy behind Ayurveda as well as the clinical aspects."
K.H., October1995 Class

"I chose CCA for two reasons. Their monthly classes allowed me to keep working while learning Ayurveda, and the hands-on training I received in the Pancha Karma Clinic, the Herb Lab, and the many workshops and seminars gave me personal insight into what my future clients will experience as they adopt an Ayurvedic lifestyle."
E.S., April 1998 Class

"At CCA I gained access to the world of knowledge I was searching for: Ayurveda. I emerged as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, competent in my dharma as an ayurvedic practitioner and lifelong student of Ayurveda."
C.S., June 1999 Class

"Academically challenging, CCA's curriculum provides both a strong foundation for a future professional practice and an opportunity to get in touch with our own self healing abilities as we develop a healing relationship to Ayurveda in our lives."
J.R., October 1998 Class

"The process of spiritual unfoldment has taken me to a higher level at CCA. I learned to integrate physical body with emotional-spiritual body. This has brought me to recognize my life's purpose, and that is what I teach people. The base and framework for this is Ayurveda. Thank you."
K.V., October 1997 Class

"My experience overall has been a soulful journey of remembering my true nature as spirit. I recommend this program to others who aspire to shine the light of Ayurveda throughout the world."
R. A. S., October 1998 Class

Pancha Karma Training
"We were amazed at the depth and efficiency of Dr. Halpern; he is a brilliant, gifted, and hard working teacher. We got so much in so little time. What a blessing."
S.& S.C., July 1999 Class

"After moving to the United States, my thirty five years of Ayurvedic practice in India would have gone to waste if I had not done the C.A.S. program. Ayurveda has made my life purposeful."
D.P.R., June 1998 Class

"Primarily, CCA allowed me to attend school and still work. Having reviewed other texts and compared with CCA workbooks and required reading, I believe CCA covered the basic understanding of Ayurveda without overwhelming the student. My PK training is very much appreciated and I feel totally qualified to practice my skills."
E.S., May 1998 Class

"Ayurveda is the medicine of nature. It taught me how to care for the body, mind, and spirit. Through diet, herbs, and lifestyle choices, it brings you to health and higher yogic awareness. It is a divine blessing to mankind. The language of nature is a simple universal truth; close your eyes and hear its divine song."
G.G., January 2000 Class

"The internship was the most important part for me.  It was the part that tied theory to practice.  T.W., June 2005

Each of the teachers had knowledge and experience and offered us a unique perspective in the classroom.  Their ability to translate the world into the terms of Ayurveda was amazing and has helped me internalize the concepts."  M.G., July 2005

"Wonderful and inspiring teachers.  Well organized material and lessons.  I feel as though I received a very high quality and thorough Ayurvedic education.  I feel confident that I am prepared to practice.  A.W., July 2005

The internship brought it all together." D.K.F., April 2005

"All of my teachers have been Ayurvedic Inspirations.  And Dr. Halpern's text was concise, detailed and easy for a western-trained student to use."  K.J., July 2005

"The first day I could see that it was going to be a great week, because it was so well organized.  I considered traveling [out of state] to take the training from [another teacher], but decided to support CCA because I really believe the school delivers what is promised.  I'm never disappointed and always inspired."  R.S., March, 2005

"I very much enjoyed the program.  It was a good balance of giving and receiving as well as practical tips on what to expect in our own practices.  The power and beauty of Pancha Karma was conveyed.  I thought the program was very well structured."  M.H., March, 2005
