Students may enroll in LEVEL 2 concurrently with LEVEL 1 or attend after successfully completing LEVEL 1. Because LEVEL 1 provides the foundational theory, principles, and treatment knowledge that support the practicum experience, enrollment in or completion of LEVEL 1 is required before attending a LEVEL 2 training.

Yes. LEVEL 2 is designed for students from a wide range of backgrounds, including massage therapists, estheticians, yoga teachers, healthcare professionals, wellness practitioners, and those beginning a new path in holistic healing. No prior Ayurvedic certification is required, though enrollment in LEVEL 1 is required.

To ensure personalized instruction and meaningful hands-on learning, enrollment is intentionally limited. Small cohort sizes of 6 to 8 attendees allow students to receive direct mentorship, individualized feedback, and ample time practicing each therapy throughout the training.

LEVEL 2 practicums are primarily held in Santa Barbara, California, with four training opportunities offered annually. Maharani Academy also periodically offers trainings, retreats, and educational programs in additional locations throughout the United States and internationally.

Yes. Many students choose to attend LEVEL 2 during their LEVEL 1 studies, while others complete the online training first and attend a practicum at a later date. Once you have enrolled in LEVEL 1, you may attend any available LEVEL 2 practicum that fits your schedule.

Yes. Flexible payment plans are available for both individual trainings and bundled enrollment packages. Contact our admissions team to discuss available options and find a payment schedule that works for you.

Licensing requirements vary by state, province, and country. Many Ayurvedic therapies can be offered within wellness, spa, and Ayurvedic settings; however, some jurisdictions require a massage license for hands-on bodywork services. Students are responsible for understanding and complying with the regulations governing their scope of practice where they intend to work.

Students enjoy a daily Ayurvedic lunch as part of the practicum experience. Meals are designed to support learning, community, and an embodied understanding of Ayurvedic principles.

Lodging is not included in tuition. Students are responsible for arranging their own accommodations during the training. Recommendations for nearby lodging options are provided upon registration.

Graduates may qualify for one or more professional certifications depending on their background and credentials, including Certified PanchaKarma Technician (CPT), Ayurveda Bodyworker (AVB), Ayurveda Spa Technician (AST), and PanchaKarma Therapist (PKT).
