You may well be aware that Ayurvedic nutrition is becoming widely accepted throughout the world and it is based on the individual’s nutritional needs.  We are therefore also pleased to include this unit in our range of available electives, so that students who are not enrolled in the Advanced Diploma of Ayurveda can also complete the unit and gain elective credits.  Since participants need to have a prior understanding of the various Doshas and Ayurvedic concepts completion the Ayurveda unit AYV130 (or equivalent experience) is a pre-requisite to enrol in this unit.
