Introduction

The University of Ayurveda Prague is an education centre of traditional Ayurveda, a system of understanding that has been passed from teacher to student for several centuries.

Passive knowledge of Ayurveda is different from understanding, practising and realising it. Ayurveda works through spirituality, blessings, Sadhana and a pure heart with a sense of detachment. A business approach to Ayurveda, or an egooriented knowledge of Ayurveda, can never reveal the aetiology of a health condition, and is more or less similar to themodern system of medicine today.

To deal with a living body, one first has to know what makes the body live. It is not Vata, Pitta or Kapha that are the decisivefactors for being alive – rather, the Tridoshas are tools for manifesting the desires of the Atma. The Tridoshas are just a game played by the gunas.

What, then, is the controlling factor of life? This is what one would have to understand from Ayurveda. Consciousness (Atma) and its parameters are the main factors that boost life.

The majority of chronic diseases are rooted in human mental behaviour. They cannot be treated unless the Manovritti (mental attitude) is changed. It is our duty to cultivate ourselves in order to keep our lives healthy. Thus Ayurveda gives us clues to achieving good health.

Ayurveda is a human right and does not need to be permitted by any Government, as it is the common property of all human beings in any democratic nation.

Ayurveda reveals the way to a healthy mind and body for all.

Ayurveda teaches understanding, tolerance, detachment and realization to the human mind, and exposes us to knowledge of

4

functional anatomy and physiology. It advises us on how to overcome problems related to the health of all beings.

The University of Ayurveda Prague educates people for the practice of a healthy lifestyle. It is a human right to be aware ofone's personal health.

Ayurveda has only one target: “A healthy life for all beings on Earth.”

The place where the classes of the University are being conducted is called Kuti.

Wishing you a nice time with us,

The Director

EDUCATION PROGRAMA. OPEN COURSE

This an introductory course of Ayurveda where students will come to understand the philosophy of life according to the Sankhya system.

It includes an extensive explanation of the Tridoshas (principle of the Tridoshas, their origin, types, seats in the body, effects and disorders) and the study of the Dhatus (their origin, development, regeneration, types and disorders).

The practical part of the course consists of practicing Ayur Yogaand Pranayama.

The awareness course is the basic requirement for the High School studies and short courses in Ayurveda at our University.Students are required to do regular homework, which is an essential condition of the study. The training ends with a final examination.

8 x 2 days = 16 days or 128 hours of instruction

Minimum group of five.

For online instruction the fee is EUR 2 560

For inperson instruction the fee is EUR 1 280

A 2. Ayur Yoga Trainer (Ayurvedic High School in the Czech Republic)

Yoga teachers training courses are widely known. The founders of Yoga and Ayurveda were the same. In fact, Yoga and Ayurveda both have the same philosophy, the same

10

terminology, and the same understanding of how of the body and mind function. Yoga is more inclined toward personal understanding and selfrealization, whereas Ayurveda deals with the qualities of the ethereal and the material. Ayurveda examines the properties of the human being, the properties of the world around the human being, and then combines the one with the other to achieve balance within the human being. Ayurveda also observes all of the qualities of Yoga and combines them with the qualities of one's lifestyle. For Ayurvedic practitioners it is necessary to also consider the person's life circumstances, social relations and personal behavior, the person's lifestyle, the physical characteristics of the person's body and his or her mental attitudes. All of these factors influence mental attitude and bodily energy.

The course includes Awareness of Ayurveda, the Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali, the Yoga of Gheranda, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The Yoga training course is accredited by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, Czech Republic.

4 x 5 days = 20 days, 160 hours, inperson instruction only

EUR 1 600

A 3. Pranayama (for all)

Pranayama is a healing technique for wellness, spa rehabilitation, and everyday life. It is a yoga kriya (technique) used to maintain mental and physical equilibrium that must be learned correctly and used when needed.

Today it is easy to acquire any kind of information one wants – the Internet is a fabulous tool and people are good at selling and trading anything and everything. In ancient times pranayama was a secret technique that was taught by yoga teachers during a certain phase of practicing yoga sadhana. When the teacher determined that the student was capable of performing pranayama in the correct way, then he would teach

11

it. If one performs pranayama incorrectly, one can cause oneselfdifficulties. Today everybody talks about pranayama because it has proven to be a very strong treatment tool for several types of illnesses. An imbalanced mind, however, can harm the body by practicing pranayama incorrectly. It is performed with the respiratory tract, the muscles of the trunk, and a concentrated mind. This course of pranayama includes an explanation of the entire mechanism, the various techniques, their use, when they are indicated and when they are counterindicated.(Block of 2x2 days = 4 days, 32 hours, inperson instruction only, EUR 320)

A 4. DÁTÁ Snehan massage (for all)

The body is comprised of cells and intercellular spaces through which nutrients flow with the aid of Vata through the intercellular channels (shrotas). Disorders of Vata disrupt the balance of cellular life and the tissues and the person does not feel well. This kind of massage (dátá snehan) was developed for the purpose of removing Vata from the channels.The most overloaded parts of the body are the joints, the ligaments, the muscles and the tendons. What is needed to alleviate Vata disorders is that the tissues be stretched, within the framework of their given capacities, through knowledge of structural anatomy and yoga positions. In addition, the oppositequalities of Vata (snigda, ushna, tikshna, etc.) are used to alleviate the disorders. This massage technique teaches how to stretch the body and cleanse the channels.This study requires basic knowledge of structural anatomy and yoga positions and the desire to perform massage.(Block of 3x4 dny = 12 days, 96 hours, inperson instruction only, EUR 960)

12

A. 5. Marma Snehan massage (for all)

Massage of the energy points in the body that are important to life is called marma massage.The human body is a very compact network of fine and thick shrotas (channels). The body is intended for certain physical activity, and in order to be able to perform it, the infrastructureof the shrotas. In this network there are certain points that are more sensitive to the flow of the vital energy, especially to the pran vayu, the main conveyor of life. This is why Sushrut wrote that these points are very sensitive. Damaging these places can cause death, disability, or disease. When there is a blockage in the flow of the life force, it can cause dysfunction in the physiological systems associated with that point. This course provides instruction in how to heal these vital points through marma massage therapy.(Block of 1x4 days = 4 days, 32 hours, in class instruction only, EUR 320).

A 6. Ayur Psychology (for all)

This course provides a broader explanation of the function of the mind. How the mind is born, how it develops, how to train it, how to understand it, mental disorders and mental mastery. Dravya guny, mano guny, triguny.(Block of 1x4 dny = 4 days, 32 hours, in class instruction only, EUR 320)

B. Program with minimal qualifications - Awareness

B 1. Ayurvedic High School

Ayurvedic High School education is designed for practical use of the knowledge of Ayurveda in the Ayurvedic profession. It is necessary to pass 14 courses. The University conducts training classes for the examination. There is no deadline for the High School examination. Whenever the student is ready to be examined, the University allows him as per the examination schedules. After completing all the semesters, the University issues a certificate as a guarantee of the student's knowledge of Ayurveda. The certificate guarantees the student's eligibility to practice Ayurveda in a Panchakarma centre as an Ayurvedic assistant. This high school study is moderately advanced, requiring an active approach on the students’ part and regular home study.(4x8x3 = 96 days over three calendar years), 768 hours, in class instruction only, EUR 7 680)

B 2. Anatomy (for graduates of Ayurvedic Awareness)

The definition of the word anatomy is very wellknown and it is

14

understood to mean the structural view from the smallest bodily units (the cells) to the organs and complex systems. Ayurveda involves comprehending the function of life and certainly does not avoid the physical aspect of the body, which partially involves general knowledge of anatomy. In order to fully comprehend Ayurveda it is necessary to look at anatomy from the perspective of its function – in fact, it is possible to saythat the Ayurvedic perspective on anatomy is functional anatomy. From the philosophy of Ayurveda we can see that all of the physically manifested aspects of anatomy originate at a level that is invisible. For the student of Ayurveda it is important to be aware of how the material body is created according to the principles of Sankhya philosophy. Detailed observations of the human body are thoroughly described in ancient treatises such as the Sushrut Samhita, the Charaka Samhita, the Ashtanga Hrdayam, etc. The course describes structural anatomy with an Ayurvedic analysis of functional anatomy, which is interesting both for those who already know anatomy and those who do not.

(Block of 6x4 days = 24 days, 192 hours, in class instruction only, EUR 1 920)

B 3. Diagnostics (graduates of Ayurvedic Awareness)

Ayurvedic diagnostics are based on functional anatomy and are comprehensive, detailed and simple.The human body is the result of the function of the gunas (mano gunas and dravya gunas).The mano gunas are factors of human behavior directed by the mind, and the dravya gunas are factors directed by physical circumstances (climate, diet, thematerials used for life, weather, etc.). The state of one's health is a projection of how the gunas influence ones life over time. The state of the physical or the structural body simply reflects the gunas that have been used during one's life. The characteristic features of the human body are also symptomatic

15

of the gunas. Studying these characteristic signs is the subject of this course in Ayurvedic diagnostics. The symptoms that arise are generally used to determined the history of the gunas in the person's life. Diagnostics is the practical study of the effects of the Tridosha on the structural anatomy of the human body. It is a very demanding field require full awareness, comprehension and understanding of the function of life. It is a practice in which one uses one's intellect, mind and soul in a state without emotions.

(Block of 3x4 days = 12 days, 96 hours, EUR 960)

B 4. Ayurvedic Counseling (for graduates of the Ayurvedic Awareness course)

This course covers Ayurvedic clinical psychology, the practical use of diagnostics, the practical use of the available ingredients,recognizing the state of illness and a methodology for how to approach treatment.

(Block 2x4 dny = 8 days, 64 hours, EUR 640)
