Saving our planet!

Online learning helps to save our planet! This method promotes the protection of our environment by studying from home:
 no fuel consumption
 less air pollution
 less wear and tear on your vehicle
 no travel
 no time wasted in transport

By studying Ayurveda in our online training you will save money on travel and accommodation. In addition, this type of learning helps to save the planet by reducing CO2 emissions from travel.

Although we are based in Switzerland, our training is cheaper than similar trainings provided in UK, USA and Europe for the reasons mentioned above. Usually, you have to double the cost of a training when you add accommodation and travel expenses. So, if a training course costs you $3000 dollars, you can expect to pay from $3000 to $6000 once you add travel, food and lodging costs. Not only do you spend more money, but you also damage the environment by traveling.
