Where you might recognise yourself
You know your body – and yet, sometimes it reacts as it pleases.
You feel you're doing a lot of things right. And yet, the digestive problems, the afternoon exhaustion, or evening restlessness keep coming back. Ayurveda explains this not with „you're doing something wrong“, but with your individual Constitution: the three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Once you understand which Dosha is currently out of balance for you, it suddenly becomes understandable why certain ailments arise – and what you can specifically do about it.
Where you might recognise yourself
Many people in exactly your situation know this:
- You've changed your diet, tried supplements, and read self-help books. Better – yes. Really stable – Not yet.
- Wondering if your digestive system is just how it is – or if you just haven't found the right Suitable answer You found.
- You don't want a rigid diet or an endurance programme. You want to understand, how your body really works – From dosha to dosha.
- Are you looking for a Structure for your everyday lifewhen you eat, how you structure your day, how you make use of your internal clock again instead of living against it.
- You are interested in holistic health, but want Sound knowledge – no vague wellness jargon.
„The aim of all Ayurvedic therapies is the individual balance of the doshas.“
— from Lesson 2, Maharishi AyurVeda Masterclass
Nature is quietly warning you
Imbalances creep in silently – long before you feel them.
Ayurveda describes six stages, in which an imbalance develops: from the initial accumulation (Sanchaya) through multiplication and spread to noticeable manifestation and finally chronification. The initial stages occur silently – usually long before anything can be measured or seen.
And that's exactly where the difference lies. Visible findings often only appear late, when the imbalance has already far Ayurveda looks formerly Pay attention to the subtle signs in everyday life. This way, you can counteract it before any symptoms appear.
Learn what Ayurveda has to offer you for each of these phases – from diet and daily routine to targeted applications like Panchakarma.

What a year of trial and error really costs.
Many people spend money month after month – on supplements, on individual apps, on the next remedy that might help. Over a year, that quickly adds up to multiples of the original amount. Often, without really understanding what their own body actually needs.
This masterclass turns that on its head. A one-off fee of 299. And for the first time, you’ll understand the system behind it. You’ll no longer make decisions on a whim, but based on a genuine understanding of your body.
Knowledge you learn once and keep for a lifetime – or expenses that otherwise repeat themselves every month.
