Postgraduate Certificate in Ayurveda for Health Professionals

Phase I & Phase II



At Alma Mater Europaea University, Maribor, Slovenia

What is Maharishi AyurVeda?

Maharishi AyurVeda is the comprehensive and modern formulation of the world’s oldest system of natural health care. 

It emphasises prevention and focuses on the relationship between consciousness and health, including techniques to increase stress tolerance and overall well-being through evidence-based personalised self-care programs, including the practice of Transcendental Meditation®. Ayurveda originated in India, with texts dating back more than 5,000 years. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means “The Science of Life.” Ayur means life, and Veda means science or knowledge. 

In Ayurveda, any disease is considered to be caused by an imbalance of the three basic organising principles of physiology, the three Doshas. Maharishi AyurVeda recommends specific lifestyle interventions, including diet, herbal preparations, daily routine and stress management. A holistic multi-modality approach is applied to create balance between mind, body, behaviour and environment. 

The Postgraduate Certificate in Ayurveda

The Maharishi College of Perfect Health International (MCPHI) offers the opportunity to study Maharishi AyurVeda on a professional level at an accredited university, Alma Mater Europaea ECM, in Maribor, Slovenia. 

The certificate of this distance and in-residence study programme, issued by Alma Mater Europaea, qualifies health professionals to integrate diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of Ayurveda into their medical practice. 

If you are not a trained health professional and would like to benefit from this profound knowledge, please don’t hesitate to contact us at professional.training@imavf.org.

What you will learn

In this comprehensive programme, you will learn authentic Ayurveda concepts integrated with modern medicine, fundamental principles of prevention and diagnosis, and effective treatment protocols for common diseases and chronic disorders.

You will also receive specialised training in an ancient art of Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis, known as Maharishi Nadi Vigyan, which has been meticulously revived and refined to serve as an invaluable diagnostic tool for healthcare professionals. This unique method of analysing the pulse detects balanced or imbalanced functioning of the physiology influenced by diet, daily routine and the environment, and thereby can reveal diseases before symptoms arise.

Additionally, our curriculum includes Marma Therapy, an extraordinary Ayurvedic healing technique.

It is the art of tending to specific vital points (Marmas) of the human body and works on the level of consciousness of both practitioner and patient. This gentle and delicate treatment enlivens the inner intelligence in the Marmas, facilitating the healing process and strengthening, revitalising and rejuvenating body, mind and soul.

With this exceptional postgraduate training, you will gain access to a comprehensive toolkit that empowers you to elevate your practice to its utmost level of effectiveness in caring for your patients.

Faculty

The programme will be taught by the principal professor Dr Gordana Marković, a Western medical doctor and the most experienced Maharishi AyurVeda practitioner in Southeastern Europe, and by international Ayurveda experts, Dr Walter Mölk, Dr Rainer Picha, and other guest lecturers from Europe, India and USA.
