“Dr. Marc Halpern is a leading pioneer in the modern Ayurveda movement in the United States. As one of the experts leading this movement, his exceptionally valuable contribution to Ayurveda education goes without saying. To say he has dedicated his life to promulgating, practicing and teaching Ayurveda would be the strongest understatement. In addition to founding what has become the largest Ayurveda school in North America, he is an accomplished and astute clinician with a profound knowledge of Ayurveda treatments and lifestyle. Having been an appreciative attendee in several of his classes, I can say that his passion for health and healing shines through clearly and his words are inspiring, motivating and insightful. Anyone learning from him would receive many pearls of benefit.”
