FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Ayurveda

At the European Academy of Ayurveda you will find a wide range of Ayurveda trainings and seminars. In order to find the right one for you, you can use our information events on the campus days or also the possibility of a personal training consultation (by phone, video call or here on site).

In addition, we have compiled some information on some of the specialist areas for your orientation:

Ayurvedic Medicine The study of Ayurvedic medicine is open to all who have a basic medical education (doctors, non-medical practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, midwives, etc.). In order to practice Ayurveda medicine later on, you must have a license to practice as a doctor or non-medical practitioner. If you want to study Ayurveda medicine without any previous medical knowledge, you should start with a training as a non-medical practitioner beforehand.

Ayurvedic Massage You like to work with the body and want to touch body and soul with your hands? Then the Ayurveda massage training is exactly the right thing for you. As you will be working as an Ayurveda massage practitioner or Ayurveda therapist at the massage bench in an Ayurveda clinic or in your own practice, you should make sure that you yourself have a healthy back and strong joints.

Ayurveda Nutrition Ayurvedic nutrition and culinary arts trainings are open to all. It's more of a pain to choose the right one from the wide range of online and face-to-face courses. With the introductory course on "Type Appropriate Ayurvedic Nutrition", you can get oriented in the best possible way and then continue in the desired training. The introductory course will fully count towards your further training to become an Ayurvedic Nutrition Coach, Ayurvedic Nutrition and Health Consultant or Ayurvedic Chef.

Psychology and Meditation There are two reasons to choose to train as an Ayurvedic Psychological Consultant or Meditation Leader: Either you want to use this practical further training and self-awareness for your own personality development or you are already working with people whom you would like to advise and treat even more intensively with the help of the psychological and spiritual Ayurvedic therapies. Optimal entry is the specialized course for Ayurveda-Mental-Coach.

Monday to Friday we are easily reachable by phone from 8.30 am to 4 pm. You are also welcome to send us an email with your request to info@ayurveda-academy.org.

New: You can now book a consultation appointment online (by phone or video call). We will then reserve a fixed time slot for you and take plenty of time to answer your questions. This is part of our mentoring program.

If you are already sure which seminar/training you would like to attend, you can book directly on the website.

Our concept involves 3 different learning types of studying:

1. Presence Seminars: Participate in Ayurveda lessons on-site at various locations, including Birstein, Berlin, Frankfurt, Vienna, and Zurich, providing a unique in-person experience.
2. Live Web Seminars: Engage in live and online lessons through virtual classrooms using professional, user-friendly tools. Actively participate and interact with the teacher, asking questions in real-time.
3. e-Academy: For flexible learning, utilize the e-Academy with videos, audio files, and interactive manuscripts. Learn at your own pace and convenience using a notebook or tablet.

If you already have an Ayurveda training, this can be credited as "non-learning achievement" for your further training at the European Academy of Ayurveda. This includes previously acquired knowledge, skills, competencies, which are identical to the teaching content and learning objectives of the offered modules / blocks up to about 80%. The examination of this comparison is subject to a fee. The costs for this are usually € 50,-/CHF 80,-.

For further information, please contact our school management directly ingelore.weidner@ayurveda-akademie.org

With our online training at the eAcademy, we present an entirely innovative approach to learning. Using a diverse eMagazine as a foundation, you can explore various content in an engaging manner. A range of videos, audios, and a knowledge database allows for in-depth immersion into the subjects. Finally, you can assess and reinforce your newfound knowledge and acquired skills through a learning check.

For the overnight stay in Birstein we offer our guests a total of 80 beds in cosy accommodations in different room categories. You can find an overview here.

Our free WLAN "Rosenberg Birstein OpenNet" is available around the clock free of charge. You don't need a password to log in. The field strength is best in the winter garden. There is no WLAN connection in the guest rooms, but there is a LAN socket in each of the rooms in the Kurhaus.

In Birstein our students enjoy a vegetarian Ayurvedic diet with organic certification. We use mainly seasonal ingredients from regional cultivation.

The authentic Ayurveda cuisine is not vegan, but uses milk, ghee and honey in the daily diet and also as "carriers" of immune-strengthening and vitalizing spices and herbs.

If you would like to enjoy our organic Ayurveda cuisine in a vegan way, you can omit those dishes which have been prepared with ghee.

Please let us know in good time before your arrival if you have any food allergies. Our kitchen will try to take this into consideration.

A gluten-free diet can be easily implemented.
