Instructor Details

Dr. Kanika Kamalkant

Namaste,

I’m Vaidya Kanika Kamalkant, and I’ve been practicing Ayurveda for over 15 years.

My journey into Ayurveda began on a deeply personal note. As a child, I was allergic to several commonly prescribed allopathic medications, which led me to explore alternative systems of healing. What began as a necessity soon became a calling—and eventually, my life’s work.

From a very young age, I was able to heal several of my own health challenges through natural medicine. One of the most significant of these was adolescent epilepsy. While I explored many approaches, the only thing that truly helped me achieve lasting relief was meditation.

With consistent practice of Heartfulness meditation, something remarkable began to happen. I learned to sense an episode even before it fully emerged. In those moments, I felt a deep inner clarity and strength—I could consciously choose how to respond.

More than once, I experienced the attack soften, dissolve, and completely melt away when I chose not to engage with it. It was one of the most powerful and divine moments of my life, a lived realization of the mind’s immense influence over the body.

By Abhishek M on 7/26/2026

This is a great course on Ayurveda and probably one of the best I have seen so far. Vaidya Kanika ji gives detailed and prompt response to the questions asked. I am learning a lot and hope to take other courses offered by her.

By Jennifer Misterka on 1/13/2026

Beautiful courses offered by Dr. Kamalkant. I thoroughly enjoy her precise and interesting presentations of the curriculum. It makes the coursework easier to remember and incredibly interesting.

By Neha Bisht on 6/12/2025

it is good to have such a detailed ayurveda knowledge . there are lot of things which we doing wrong for so many years and after this course i am quite able to balance my food plate and combination as well

By Udemy User on 5/24/2025

The knowledge is out standing!!! The wealth of knowledge has blown me away! She has put in so much time and effort into this course… remarkable! I have travelled to India to train in Ayurveda and learnt more here. The recording quality is pretty poor which is disappointing … but I feel the knowledge outweighs it.

By Respect Learning on 5/12/2025

There are only few educators in most of people's lives who can make a life-long impact. I undoubtedly feel many of your students share this. Your knowledge and the delivery of it will leave a powerful capacity for healing on all students and those we connect through! Words are not enough to express my level of gratitude! I will pass this knowledge on as a form of appreciation.

By Shubhra Saha on 5/8/2025

I just finished this course and I must say it is one of the most comprehensive and beautifully designed courses I have come across. The teacher is truly amazing, bringing full energy and excitement to every part of the video. Her passion for the subject shines through and makes the learning experience engaging and inspiring. I’m deeply grateful to have found this course. It has enriched my understanding in so many ways. That said, I believe a few additions could make it even better. In the Dinacharya section, it would be great to include daily rituals that extend beyond just the morning practices. Similarly, in Ritucharya, adding more detailed seasonal guidelines would offer a more rounded perspective. Thank you so much for this incredible experience!

By Joe Rozencwajg, NMD on 1/27/2025

I like the course, otherwise I would not have taken it, but the lecturer is difficult to understand. And it keeps going like that; many lessons, I have to go back a few times to get a relatively clear guess about what she is talking.... and in her enthusiasm, she speaks faster and faster, making it even more difficult; not to speak about Indian/Sanskrit words, half swallowed to my ears. Very unfortunate because the contents of the course are excellent, with a large part at least uncertain... I will have to buy a good book!

By Aditya Jha on 9/7/2024

The classes are JUST AMAZING. I haven't learnt about ayurveda so easily and so profoundly. The main reason, this course is so good for all of us interested in Ayurveda: The smile Dr Kanika keeps while explaining the concepts, She is living the Ayurveda (The Wisdom of Life) and teaching the same thing. A great course for anybody to go through.

By Caroline Matta on 7/28/2023

This was a very profound and thorough course, I have taken other courses in Ayurveda but wanted to learn more about the philosophy as I am working on a project concerning both Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, as both are my passions! Thank you very much! Just a couple of the videos, sound needs adjusting, otherwise perfect.

By Kata Buda Csiszár on 1/26/2021

There were some interesting thoughts but in general the course is very basic. I liked the teacher; she is very nice and sure she has real knowledge of ayurveda. For me there was too much music also. It is very nice to listen to but hard to understand the speaking when there is music too.
