I have had a great opportunity to study under Susan Bass’s guidance being a part of 300 HR Ayurvedic Health Advisor and Ayurvedic Yoga Program and additionally, the 800 HR Ayurvedic Yoga therapist - courses this institution offers..300HR is an excellent foundation of the concepts of Ayurveda in simple English and this slowly grows and gently builds on to the details with a perfect blend of anatomy and physiology concepts as a part of 800 HR course. This has been possible due Susan’s sheer love and dedication for this ancient science along with her fantastic faculty team!They are not just courses, it is way of life that we take from this school and ready to share with others who resonate with Mother Nature!Thank you Susan and Team..??

I had the opportunity to step in as faculty and support Sarasvati Institute students in their practicum and attend graduation. The level of competency of the students was remarkable. They were well versed in their diagnostic assessments and their recommendations were spot on. I was proud to have been even a small part of their education. They are ready to take their practice to the world!

Being a part of this community and taking the program Susan and her team have so thoughtfully put together has changed my life. This is place of healing, compassion, love for self, and it’s been a joy to learn and absorb the wisdom from everyone at the institute and the teachings of Ayurveda & Yoga that they so carefully share.

"My introduction to Ayurveda came years ago by way of practicing yoga. Intrigued, I sought to understand this ancient science but after years of attempted self-study through countless books, I concluded that anything appearing to be this complicated, had to be “hog-wash.” However, the urge to understand propelled me seek out formal study. After researching the numerous offerings of online introductory Ayurveda courses and being immensely impressed with it’s brochure, I decided on the Sarasvati Institute of Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy.As my course of study comes to a close, I’m compelled to share that what I'm taking away is a "knowing" of Ayurveda that I was not able to find in any of the many books that came before. Finally, it all makes sense, and it's hardly “hog-wash.” The promise of "'embodiment" that the Sarasvati Institute’s Foundations of Ayurveda program offers is absolutely achievable by anyone committed to its pursuit. Without question, this course will be the best gift you've ever given to yourself.And the Institute’s founder and owner Susan Bass, is the “chef’s kiss.” Google doesn’t allow enough space to sing the praises she deserves, just trust and believe that she is truly a gifted messenger and teacher of this precious, ancient science."

This is what I have been looking for all my life! One place where I get to learn and integrate how to manage my mind, body and spirit. SIAYT is an amazing experiential training that is rooted in ancient Vedic sciences, yet relevant to my modern daily life; the best part is that it is flexible so I get to learn while working full time. It is deep yet subtle, expansive yet introspective, enlightening yet joyful.As my understanding and appreciation of Ayurveda and Yoga continue to deepen, I am learning to connect with myself in a much more intimate way. And as I feel myself more, my understanding of life is enriching and deepening as well.It is an absolutely lovely experience well worth exploring.

Susan has poured her heart and soul into these courses and her passion for helping to heal humanity is evident in her teaching style and the curriculum that she has created.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Susan and the Sarasvati Institute. As a health coach and 500 E-RYT, I was craving to deepen my vedic studies and ayurvedic/yoga practices so that I could take my health into my own hands in ways that felt natural and aligned—while at the same time building new knowledge for my clients. This program checked all of those boxes and so many more. I highly recommend ALL of Susan's programs—no matter where you are in your health journey. One of Susan's many gifts is making her teachings approachable and exciting for established health practitioners and yoga teachers as well as any soul simply curious about health or Ayurveda. The diversity of the students was vast and beautiful creating a warm and welcoming environment to learn and engage in. I look forward to expanding my knowledge base with Susan next year in her advanced program—which is a testimonial in of itself. Don't walk—run—to sign up for this program. Your life will be forever changed.

Susan Bass is a master teacher and weaver of ancient knowledge and a living earth goddess who is here to guide many souls into their divine embodiment of this ancient knowledge that is Ayurveda. I had been deep into my own journey of self healing, food as medicine, energy/soul healing and spiritual transformation for 8 years when I found Susan Bass and Sarasvati Institute. Her 300 hour course took me to the next level of healing and gave me the information I needed to embody my power. It is truly the ghee liver cleanse that changed my life that is now forever in my life. Her 200 hour chakra yoga course felt like an answer to a personal prayer. Whether you are looking to become certified as an Ayurveda Yoga consultant or practitioner or just seeking for your own personal healing, you have found your school and your teacher, and it is worth every cent. Susan is a brilliant teacher and guide of Ayurveda and Yoga therapy. What she has created is such a powerhouse of support and information of ancient knowledge delivered in a way that honors its origins and ancestry, nourishing the soul as much as the physical body. I am beyond grateful for Susan Bass and her wisdom of the subtle realm of energetics of food , elements, and life, and transforming her life to bring this wisdom to the world in the unique way she does. I highly recommend all her courses and offerings. Thank you Susan!!
