Membership Benefits

Education

NAMA is committed to establishing and maintaining the highest Ayurvedic education standards. The highest standards are a necessary step for the recognition and acceptance of the Ayurvedic profession and Ayurveda as a healing art. A core part of NAMA’s educational effort involves requiring that NAMA’s Ayurvedic professionals have met established educational competencies. NAMA maintains the Professional Ayurvedic Continuing Education (PACE) Program to support the continued development of its professional members. PACE resources include a substantial library of courses, including previously recorded Seminars in Ayurveda.
