Meditation, Ayurveda and yoga were never separate subjects.
The Vedic tradition taught stillness, daily living and movement as one practice. The Vedic Educator pathway brings Gaja's three foundational teacher trainings together so you can teach them the same way: one faculty, one philosophy, three credentials.
You'll learn to teach mantra meditation and mindfulness, to guide people into Ayurvedic daily routines matched to their constitution, and to lead yoga and breathwork that is accessible, personalized and rooted in the depth of the tradition. Each training stands on its own; together they make a teacher who can meet a student wherever they are.

Does it matter which training I take first?
No. Many students begin with meditation and finish with the yoga training, but you can order the three to suit your schedule; admissions will help you plan the sequence.
How long does the pathway take?
Each training runs 16–21 weeks with weekly live sessions. Most students complete all three within 12–18 months.
Is the yoga training Yoga Alliance registered?
Yes. The 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a Yoga Alliance RYS 200 training; the meditation and Ayurveda certifications also count as YACEP continuing education for registered teachers.
Do I need experience?
No prior teaching experience is required. A personal practice in any of the three disciplines helps, and each training starts from the foundations.
How is tuition handled?
Pathway tuition and payment plans are arranged with admissions when you apply; the three trainings can also be enrolled in one at a time.
The Meditation Certification November 2026 cohort begins Nov 10, 2026.
