Live Attendance: Is live attendance required?
No. This program has now transitioned to a pre-recorded, self-paced format, allowing you to begin at any time and work through the material on your own schedule. There are no live sessions to attend.
Class Times: When will the classes be held?
Because this course is now pre-recorded, there are no set class times. You may start at any time during the 2025–2026 school year and progress at a pace that works for you.
Time Commitment: How much time will I need to commit each week?
We recommend setting aside a consistent block of study time each week, just as you would for a live class. Most students complete the course over two trimesters (approximately 90 hours total), but you may adjust your pace as needed.
Class Format: Are all classes live, or are some pre-recorded?
All lectures are now pre-recorded. You will have full access to the video library and can revisit the material as often as needed throughout the school year.
NAMACB / AAC Requirements: Will this course meet NAMACB / AAC requirements?
Yes. By completing this course, you will fulfill the Anatomy & Physiology requirement for graduation and board exam eligibility. Please note that you must complete the full course with Yoga Veda Institute — partial credit from other programs cannot be transferred toward this requirement.
Instructors: Who will be teaching the course?
This course is taught by Dr. Sheila Patel, a leading expert in integrative medicine and Ayurveda. Her lectures are recorded and presented in a format specifically designed to support Ayurvedic students.
