How we integrate

Cooking for Clinical Care

In the Ayra Academia clinic in Pune learn to prepare therapeutic meals the way they are used in clinical practice — building dishes around a patient’s constitution, digestion, and current imbalance, with the spices, preparations, and timing that make food act as medicine.

Hampi and Badami

We will spend 4 days sight seeing and exploring these magical cities along with the birthplace of Lord Hanuman and UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Plant Medicine and Cooking for Clinical Cases

We will visit herbal gardens and botanical research sites, make herbal preparations, and while in Pune at the Arya Academia Clinic learn cooking for clinical cases that you can take home for advanced client care.

Visit an Ayurvedic Hospital

We spend time inside a working Ayurvedic hospital, where classical medicine is practiced every day. You will observe consultations, see how doctors assess and document cases, and walk through the panchakarma wards to watch treatments performed by experienced therapists.

Seeing Ayurveda delivered at this scale — alongside modern diagnostics and hospital protocols — changes how you understand your own practice and client care.

From a previous group trip

Clinic visits, botanical gardens, cave temples, festivals and long bus rides between them — this is what travelling together actually looks like.
