BETH - Senior Yoga Teacher
Hey There!
I’m Chara!
Ayurveda has taught me the value of holding space for ourselves and those we care for. As yoga teachers we are uniquely positioned to engage in this important inquiry and to invite our students to engage in their own. I’ve created this course as encouragement and support for that adventure! Here's a litte info about my background...
Chara Caruthers is an international teacher, speaker, advocate, author and mentor for women’s wellness, she has inspired and motivated a global community of people of all ages to live juicier and more connected lives by embracing the principles of yoga and Ayurveda.
A long-time practitioner and student of yoga, Chara is a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), an Ayurvedic Practitioner (CAP- NAMA) and a senior yoga teacher (E-RYT500, YCEP, Level 2 Yoga Australia) who has taught yoga around the globe for more than a decade. She has studied and practiced Ayurveda in the United States, Australia and India and is a graduate of the American Institute of Vedic Studies (USA), the International Academy of Ayurveda (Pune, India), and Kerala Ayurveda Academy (Kerala, India). Her work is focused on sharing these ancient principles in a modern context empowering wellness seekers of all backgrounds and cultures to boldly embrace the responsibility we all have to know and love ourselves.

Jenny - Yoga Teacher
“Deepened my knowledge of Ayurveda, it made me want to learn more about myself, my practice and I think it's useful for all yoga teachers to learn more about Ayurveda and how you can integrate it with your own studies, practice and then share it with your students.”

What Past Students Have to Say
I have already been recommending the course to my teaching friends. Chara presented information in such a way that it was accessible (because ayurveda and its concepts are often hard to grasp) and she also made it interesting. She is warm, heartfelt, vibrant, and considerate; she takes the time to review concepts and pauses for people to ask questions about these concepts in such a way that we are all learning and applying.
Sarah - Yoga Teacher
I gained a more in-depth understanding of Ayurveda and how to apply it to my students. As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist, this knowledge provides an insightful lens for working with clients and planning classes. This class is perfect for anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive introduction to Ayurvedic concepts. Everything was taught in a digestible manner and the discussions were helpful for further embodiment of the material.
MARGARET - Senior Yoga Teacher
When does the course START and END?

How will this program be delivered?
The program will be delivered via weekly reccorded video content supported by a LIVE class session to integrate the material and discuss concepts. You'll also receive weekly yoga practice videos and a practice assignment/task that incorporates some of the concepts learned in class into your life and inner work. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with and integrate the information over time and share your experiences and thoughts during our weekly classes.
What happens if I miss a LIVE online lecture?
All the online lectures will be recorded and made available to students during the course and up to one month after the course completion.

Credits for Yoga Alliance, Yoga Australia, IAYT and NAMA will be available for this course.
Is this training only for yoga teachers?
This training is targeted at yoga teachers but is suitable for yoga students who have had at least one year of practice.
How are you qualified to teach this training?
I've been teaching yoga for 14 years and practicing for more than 30 years. I am a registered Yoga teacher (E-RYT 500) and Yoga therapist (C-IAYT) and have been practicing yoga therapy for 13 years.
Much of the work I've been doing over the last decade has been in the area of educating yogis and yoga teachers about the principles and practices of Ayurveda as a foundation for living their yoga.
I've published more than 100 articles and a book, and given talks at yoga festivals and events, I've also been faculty on yoga teacher and yoga therapy trainings around the world, and am currently working on a MSc degree in spirituality, consciousness and transpersonal psychology.
This course is the culmination of my practice of living, learning and teaching this wisdom.
More Praise from past students...
“First of all, let me say how much I enjoyed every single second of this course. I could not believe how much I learned, how much I had no idea about, and how it has expanded my understanding of Ayurveda in an enormous way. I feel I can talk about this with some level of confidence to students without overwhelming them with facts. You have made it all so accessible! Just wonderful!”
“I would (and already have!) recommended this course to yoga teachers who want to grow their understanding of Ayurveda and how to begin to bring Ayurveda into their life and Yoga. It is a very approachable course for diving into the vast topic of Ayurveda. And it adds another dimension to teaching yoga."
“You have such a beautiful teaching style, which makes people feel comfortable right away. Everything about the way you show up is welcoming and accepting. I felt that everybody's questions were acknowledged and answered in a thoughtful and mindful way. The content is extremely detailed and rich with so much information, but you make it easy to understand and I didn't feel overwhelmed by it."
“The way you have connected Ayurveda and Yoga to Mental Health, Yoga Sutras, and not made it just about the Doshas and what you eat is brilliant. The permission to notice how one feels before making choices has really opened this up for me. It's not just all about the Doshas. These teachings really changed my understanding."
“As Yoga and Ayurveda are so interconnected I feel all Yoga Teachers would benefit from a deeper understanding + it provides another layer to what we can more confidently integrate/offer in our classes - I feel this will help what we (I) offer add more depth and is more aligned with broader 8 fold path of yoga. I feel the additional knowledge brings more authenticity to being a yoga instructor.”
