This comprehensive certification course explores Dinacharya, the traditional Ayurvedic system of organizing daily habits and routines according to individual constitution and natural daily rhythms. The course is designed to take learners from foundational concepts to the practical creation of a personalized Ayurvedic routine.
You will begin by understanding what Dinacharya means, how Ayurveda relates daily routines to natural biorhythms, and how routines can be adapted to individual lifestyles rather than followed as a rigid schedule. The course also introduces traditional Vedic time divisions, including Prahar and Muhurta, along with the daily and nightly cycles of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
A major part of the course focuses on developing a personalized routine according to Prakriti, or Ayurvedic body type. Learners explore how to assess their constitution and use it as a foundation for selecting appropriate daily habits, food choices, exercise, massage, and sleep routines. The published course also includes activities for developing a personalized daily routine, weekly meal plan, and monthly lifestyle plan.
The course covers key elements of an Ayurvedic morning and self-care routine, including waking practices, hydration, oral hygiene, traditional dental care, Kaval and Gandusha practices, Abhyanga massage, Vyayam or Ayurvedic exercise, Svedana, bathing practices, and traditional eye-care concepts. Precautions and body-type variations are discussed throughout these topics.
You will also explore Ayurvedic approaches to meals, including timing, food quantity, preparation, combinations, individual suitability, and the traditional sequence of tastes. The course examines foods traditionally recommended or discouraged for frequent consumption and introduces concepts related to digestion and seasonal dietary practices.
Later sections examine Ayurvedic sleep routines, different sleeping patterns associated with body types, mental preparation before sleep, Yoga Nidra, and Sadvritta, the mental and behavioural dimension of Dinacharya.
By the end of the course, learners will have a structured understanding of Dinacharya and a framework for creating more personalized daily, dietary, and lifestyle routines based on traditional Ayurvedic principles.
