This very low-cost internship experience will develop your Ayurvedic knowledge, your personal confidence and will vitalize your practice of Ayurveda. Applicants must be graduates or students of Ayurveda who possess an understanding of basic Ayurvedic concepts, typically having completed at least one year of formal instruction or rigorous self-study in Ayurveda.

This program offers the opportunity to: * Explore the living material medica, the botanical wealth that is the foundation of Ayurveda in Kerala. * Make a variety of traditional medicines for internal use and medicinal oils for external use in the traditional way from fresh ingredients, by hand. * Observe and discuss actual cases (intake, treatment planning and observation of treatment results). Rasa Ayurveda is a women's clinic, and our focus will be mainly on women's health issues. * Deeply consider the importance of the mind state of the patient, and learn how best to foster the most healing attitude in our patients. * Receive and practice performing traditional therapies, such as shirovasti and elakizhi. * Enjoy evening cooking classes in which you'll learn to prepare traditional Kerala dishes in an Ayurvedic context. * Participate in The Muthashi Project, crossing a cultural bridge to lend your energies to preserving the ancient relationship between women, plants and traditional, hand-made medicine. * Take some personal time for quiet and study, and connect with other women who practice--or are preparing to practice or teach--the wisdom of Ayurveda.
