Students from the unique postgraduate professional programme at Alma Mater Europaea in Maribor, Slovenia, are already in the field offering Ayurvedic consultations to their clients.

The one-year programme led by Dr Gordana Marković included in-residence training and online home study.

One student, Vesna Majes, part of the team that imports Maharishi AyurVeda products to Slovenia, says:

“I completed my postgraduate studies in Ayurveda in April this year at the European University of Alma Mater, under the watchful eye of Professor Dr Gordana Marković. After finishing these studies — the exact theory of Ayurveda and the practical knowledge of reading the pulse — a whole new world opened up. Dr Gordana has prepared each of us extremely well for the fact that immediately after studying we can start confidently and successfully performing the work of Maharishi Ayurvedic Therapist.”

Another student was Medical Doctor Thirza de Jong, Mb.ChB (BE), PgD.Trop.Med.(SA), MPH (UK):

“As a medical doctor, I have always tried to look at health from a holistic perspective. Besides that, I always had a big interest in food and nutrition as well as herbal medicine, but it was only when I started learning more about Ayurveda, that everything fell into place. During the course I have learned so much from Prof. Marković. After completion I felt like I have all the knowledge needed to start practicing Ayurveda. We were encouraged by Prof. Marković to put everything we learned into practice immediately, which has been very valuable for the learning process. The Postgraduate taught me to approach health from a different, more holistic perspective, while still valuing allopathic medicine.”

Dr de Jong concluded “It has also given me a different view on cause of disease and treatment, which for me has been very valuable as I now approach health and disease from a different perspective, including many treatment modalities and lifestyle interventions.”

Dareen Shatila from Lebanon reported:

“Well, I noticed a very big benefit in my practice. my whole perspective in diagnosis has changed. Now I can tackle deeper root causes of every case study that I encounter in my clinic.”

The next course will begin in March of 2023. For details please visit: https://www.ayurvedatraining.eu
