Twenty years of experience

Our story began in 2004 with the Academy of Ayurvedic Studies, founded by Coen van der Kroon. After working independently for 12 years, the Academy became part of Delight Group in 2016, which is when Martine van Beusekom also joined. Together, we built a flourishing Academy, supported by a team of teachers and staff, and as of July 2023 we continue independently as Ayurveda Academy The Netherlands.

Our education is in both Dutch and English!

Starting in Academic Year 2024/25, we will be offering our education in two languages: our professional programs will remain in English, while in the COURSES section you can find our exciting Dutch programs, such as the jaarprogramma Beleef Ayurveda.

We offer a variety of educational programs and trainings

The Academy offers two in-depth study paths to students wishing to apply ayurveda in the field of modern natural healthcare modalities. Our 2-year, 70 EC Ayurveda Nutrition & Lifestyle Counselor program & the 4-year, 200 EC, accredited Ayurveda Practitioner Studies.
