VIEW THE SYLLABUS
Supported Learning For Real Life
Your training program includes audio lectures (like a podcast). This is intentional to allow you to listen while you walk around your neighborhood, commute to work, clean the house or lay down in Savasana. You'll be provided with written notes, self-study questions, self-reflection prompts, guided practices and suggestions for integration.
Your assignments include group discussion posts to connect with other students, client case studies and a project of your choosing.
One Year of Personalized Support
The year is broken down into four three-month quarters. Each quarter you meet with Angela for a personalized session. The first session is an Ayurvedic consultation. The following three sessions can be used for Ayurvedic counseling, mentoring or a combination of both.

Four Online Quizzes
Written Discussion Posts
Client Case Studies
Four Personal Consultations including a Live Final Exam with Angela
Twelve Group Check-Ins

What students are saying...
"It was absolutely everything I could have dreamed of. Before signing up for the class last year, I was hesitant that I would not have the time and energy to commit to the course. However, Angela made it so simple to listen to the audio lessons just like I would listen to a podcast. So for example, while walking 30 minutes to pick my son up from school, I would pop on an audio lesson. Or while cleaning up the dishes/prepping breakfast for the following day, I would put a video lesson on my laptop and listen to the class while getting my housework done. It made it very simple to learn new information while also staying committed to the ins and outs of everyday life and responsibilities. If anyone in the future is on the fence about the course (wondering how they'll squeeze an additional 600 hours in...!), I would say that the class actually makes it EASIER to make to and stick to good Ayurvedic habits--especially since every meditation, pranayama, and Ayurvedic dish cooked COUNTS towards the 600 hours. Brilliant!"
"I have a deeper connection with mother nature, the Divine, and my Self which I felt a connection before, but now that connection is much deeper and stronger."
"I debated waiting a few years until family life calmed down, but honestly I think the program HELPED family life to calm down by putting me in a more balanced state, and more equipped to handle whatever life throws at me."
"Life changing! I feel like I have tapped into my dharma, of being able to share this sacred knowledge with others."

The following reviews are from an anonymous survey administered by a public university where Angela taught Ayurveda as part of the School of Health Sciences.
"Professor Perger is a wonderful instructor who exhibits much passion for Ayurveda and holistic health in general. She was always willing to answer questions and explain the course content in further detail as needed. She also provided many opportunities to apply Ayurvedic practices outside of class and reflect our experiences through our assignments. I would absolutely recommend taking this course to anyone interested!"
"I wish they could clone this professor."
"Professor Perger is absolutely amazing. She always provided notes in video form or by use of PDF. She always answered any emails on time with any questions one may have. Her assignments were always very engaging and quite interesting. I adored this class and I would definitely take it again!"
"Professor Perger was an amazing professor. Her course was very well organized and she was readily available for any questions/concerns. I would definitely take another course taught by her. I took this class for my minor which I was moderately interested in, and this course definitely ignited my passion for holistic health."
