 Hi, I'm Naomi Boas. I graduated from the Ayurvedic Wellness and Ayurvedic Practitioner Program at SCU. I chose SCU because I met Dr. Anu and saw her give her beautiful speech and lead us all through yoga. I was like, this is the school for me. I'm enrolling and I think I submitted my application that Monday and never looked back. The clinic for me when I was a student here was absolutely the best part of the program because you get to see everything that we're learning inside the classroom, all of the theory and the principles applied in real life. And so that is the biggest eye-opener when you come to clinic and you start working with members of the general public with Ayurveda and you get to see their lives turn around, their body pain go away with the body treatments and the herbs and you get to see them making these dietary changes and lifestyle changes. What I like most about the Ayurveda program at SCU is the hands-on approach and that's not only in the clinic where we get to work with patients' hands-on, which I loved, but also in the classroom setting. So there's certain classes that you really get more of a feel of it when you're in person and you get to touch Ayurveda. There's a lot of uses of our senses, our hands, our touch, our smell, our eyes and so the nutrition class and the herbology class and the Poncha Karma classes, which is the Ayurvedic Body Works class, have been definitely my favorite because we get a lot of hands-on practice in those classes and hands-on demonstrations from our faculty members and we also get to meet with our classmates in person and also practice doing the body work and working with each other and so there's a lot of bonding that goes on in this program. I would definitely recommend SCU to someone who wants to pursue their education in Ayurveda because it is a really comprehensive program that is very much based in the classical texts from India. All of our faculty has decades of experience combined. They're mostly all, many of them are from India, they've studied in India, they're doctors of Ayurveda from India and so the amount of knowledge that we get from all of our faculty members combined is just priceless. That's definitely the one thing that really stood out to me in the beginning when I started the program was the caliber of the faculty here.
