What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda isn’t a fad or a diet—it’s a way of life. Ayurveda takes a mind-body-spirit approach to your health, addressing the health and well-being of your “whole person” to help you live life to the fullest.
In the Chopra Health Program, you’ll gain a toolkit of proven personalized practices around healthy nutrition, mindful movement, and aligning with our natural biological rhythms to help create healthy daily habits and routines. And then you’ll learn how to teach those tools to others to help them create a personalized health plan based on their dosha.
What is the Chopra Health Program?
This 16-week online, interactive health certification program is an in-depth education on how to use the infinite wisdom of nature to optimize biological rhythms, digestion, energy, and focus based on the centuries-old healing system of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda has been used for centuries to help people better understand themselves and what they need to thrive from a mental, physical, and spiritual standpoint. It is an incredibly special and little-known personalized healing system that changes lives. Deepak Chopra has spent over 30 years researching and teaching these powerful practices.
The Chopra Health Program is your chance to become certified in this highly niched, fast-growing health system, incorporate its powerful practices into your own life, and share them with others any way you choose.

Wait... what’s a dosha?
Kind of like an astrology sign or personality type—but so much more—your dosha is based on the proportion of certain qualities that you have in your nature, represented by the elements of Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
There are 3 doshas which show up different when in and out of balance:
All three doshas are present in everyone, but in different combos and ratios.
Knowing your dosha can help you:
- Understand your natural tendencies in your mind and body
- Recognize when your dosha becomes unbalanced based on signs and symptoms
- Help you make choices and incorporate habits that keep you emotionally balanced and physically healthy
What makes Ayurveda so powerful?
Sound complicated? It’s not, thanks to the personalized roadmap that Ayurveda provides. By following this centuries-old proven method, you can unlock powerful physical, mental, and spiritual benefits, including:
- Reduce anxiety and depression
- Lower blood pressure
- Improve digestion
- Calm the mind
- Align with your body’s natural rhythms
- Nourish the skin
- Energize your body and mind
When it comes to your wellness, it can be overwhelming to figure out what your body and mind need, especially since there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Can you imagine how rewarding it would be to help someone find those answers they’ve been searching for?
If so, keep reading about how the Chopra Health program can help you do that.
