The OM Yoga Journey Ayurveda wellness counselor training was even more thorough and in-depth than I had imagined. My knowledge of Ayurveda for my personal well-being has been increased tremendously, and is helping me manage my own health issues more successfully. Learning from Arpita’s vast knowledge and experience I now feel confident working with clients to help them improve their health and quality of life through holistic, all natural methods. Arpita’s AWC training program helped me provide my clients highly customized therapeutic yoga, mediation, pranayama and self care guidance that helps them feel better physically, emotionally and spiritually. They comment on how they feel more grounded, energized, peaceful and better able to cope with daily stress. Taking my AWC training with Arpita prepared me deliver the best possible experience for my clients, which will help my business grow and thrive as well. If you are interested in studying with someone who has deep knowledge and full understanding of Ayurveda, and will do an outstanding job teaching you the principles and practices, Arpita is the teacher you are looking for. -Cathy E., 2023 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
I've been studying with Arpita since 2017. Her knowledge of Ayurveda is vast and her teaching style is simple and in depth. Studying under Arpita at OM Yoga Journey has opened my mind to many possibilities especially in my career as Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor and an 800 hour yoga teacher. I'm so grateful that we have crossed paths and I look forward to the next journey with her in her Ayurveda Yoga Therapist program. -Christine H., 2022 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
Arpita has a way of making the wisdom of Ayurveda both relatable and understandable. Her background in western medicine helps to bridge the gap between ancient Ayurvedic principles and teachings with allopathic medicine. She challenges you, but gives you all the tools you need in order to reach the (very high) bar she has set. I am so grateful to have studied under Arpita for my Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor certification. She has inspired me to share this wisdom with my community and I am so excited to teach others how to live Ayurvedically. – Charlie C., 2022 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
Arpita’s workshops and certifications are a wealth of knowledge and organized in a way that makes the information accessible and relatable to real life. I respect her desire to continually learn and grow so that she may share her knowledge and experience with others. She’s a gifted and talented Teacher. -Kirsten B., 2022 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
Thank you Arpita as much for the high level knowledge you share as for the love, dedication and generosity you put into the act of teaching. Every program you offer is a journey for getting deeper and deeper into this amazing and more than ever valuable ancient knowledge. I truly appreciate that you make it so accessible to us. Looking forward to the internship opportunity!! - Kati H., 2022 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
After studying with Arpita for over 5yrs, each program from 200YTT, through 300YTT and now AWC has been such an amazing experience. I am grateful to be able to study such in depth topics that she teaches with great passion. Her heart is in each module and it's easy to feel the excitement she has for all the material. I highly recommend all of her training programs and webinars on so many special topics. The more you learn from her the more you will want to learn. Thank you for sharing your teachings with the world. - Tarka S., 2022 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
As western awareness of Ayurveda has increased, so has the amount of information and training on this ancient science. Making sense of the material without a knowledgeable teacher can be difficult and in my experience most of what is available barely touches the surface of the vastness of Ayurveda. A delightful exception to this is Arpita Shah who has an encyclopedic knowledge of Ayurveda, years of experience in counseling individuals and innate skills as a teacher. She has the ability to convey complex material in a compelling, engaging, challenging and sometimes humorous way. Arpita’s Ayurveda Wellness Counselor program goes deeply into this Ayurveda using both ancient and modern texts coupled with a large syllabus which will be a reference for me for years to come. In addition to conveying the knowledge, through ongoing real life case studies guided by Arpita I’ve learned to practically apply this knowledge an feel equipped to counsel my wide variety of clients with confidence. In short, if you are looking to really understand Ayurveda and how to apply it to help your clients I can’t emphasize the benefits of Arpita’s program. Thank you Aprita, blessed to call you both teacher and friend. - Nancy D., 2021 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
This course is not just about what Ayurveda is, but it is also about how we can apply this knowledge at a practical level. Arpita's teaching is based on the classical texts of Ayurveda. The course material is proof to how deep and expansive her knowledge is in this field. Her teaching style is easy for anyone to understand and her story telling from the Vedas makes it so much more interesting. Overall, the AWC program has deepened my knowledge of Ayurveda multifold. - Umashree K., 2021 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
I met Arpita Shah at the beginning of my career in the field of Yoga and total body wellness almost eight years ago. I have since gone on to train with, and work with many leaders in the Yoga community. I have spent the last two years training solely with Arpita. I can say without hesitation that Arpita is the most complete professional I have ever worked with. She is profoundly knowledgeable, well respected, and is truly gifted in her ability to teach complex topics with ease. Her trainings come with an immense amount of support and materials. There are only a handful of individuals in this industry that can hold a candle to her level of understanding of the ancient texts and teachings of Ayurveda and Yoga. I would recommend her teachings and trainings to anyone interested in a career in Yoga and Ayurveda, or on the journey of self healing. - Leah S., 2021 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
As a recent graduate of the Om Yoga Journey Ayurveda Wellness Counselor program, I am very pleased with what I learned about Ayurveda. Arpita is extremely knowledgeable and she really enjoys sharing her love of Ayurveda to inspire her students. You will absolutely not regret your decision to pursue the Om Yoga Journey Ayurveda Wellness Counselor program with the one and only Arpita Shah - Suzy S., 2021 Ayurveda Wellness Counselor Program Graduate
