Very informative class, well laid out, and well presented. Unfortunately I could not clearly place myself into one of the four types of agni. I have characterisitics of 3 of them and none are more dominant for me so I could only get some value of the course. It would be nice if this was addressed in the course as I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't fit well into these types. Instructor is very knowledgable and it is still a great course.

Hard to listen. Sounds like a children’s class May I return and choose another course?

So many eye openers in this course! An under-active stomach could be the root cause of so many health conditions? I am learning so much here! Thank you for creating this course Preeti. Keep it up!

My wife has Gastroparesis, I am taking this course because her digestion is slower than most people. Through this course, I am hoping to find a way to ease or get rid of this issue.

Is the second course i’m taking from this teacher and it has been excellent!! The teachings are very clear and straightforward but of incredible value. I feel i have learned a lot and I’m already putting in practice most of the teachings: finally I understand how to use and mix all spices and the effect they have on my constitution!!
