Final Thoughts 

If you've ever wanted to learn a practical approach to understanding and implementing the health benefits of Ayurveda, Modern Ayurveda is worth diving into.

The program will give you well-rounded Ayurvedic knowledge. I searched for years to find a program to learn Ayurveda and how to live an Ayurvedic lifestyle back around the year 2000. At that time there was nothing available, so I ended up enrolling and studying at The California College of Ayurveda. That experience changed my life because it taught me how to live in harmony with the natural laws of the universe so I could heal and ward off common and chronic ailments.

That experience was expensive (over 15k) and took 3 years… But it was worth every cent and second. Modern Ayurveda will give you your own experience from the comfort of your own home, for a fraction of the cost.

There is a wealth of useful information and the vibe is like having a knowledgeable friend teaching you everything you need to know about this sacred science.

I hope I have sufficiently covered anything you may want to know about Modern Ayurveda in this review. But, if you have further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to ask below in the comment area.

  1. This was new to me. I had no idea what Ayurveda even was. I had never heard of this product.  Nor had I ever heard of Cate Stillman…? I’m still blurry on what these things are. They seem like a good product to buy. I like the segments you have listed. These segments make it very appealing. 

    • Sure, Linda… Just click on one of the ‘Ayurveda’ hyperlinks and you can discover and learn all about Ayurveda. Let me know if you have questions. I’m here to help. 😉
