Its easy to understand if you have a basic understanding of the elements involved in creating the three dosha's and how those come to manifest in a person. Its a bit difficult to understand from a beginner's point of view. This course has a good insight into the actual texts like Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. Thank you

Foi muito além do que esperava. Mesmo durante o curso já coloquei algumas coisas que fui entendendo em prática. O calculo Prakriti é um dos pontos altos porque me permitiu conhecer a proporção de cada dosha em mim. Parabéns pelo conteúdo e recomendo

I think the course is highly repetitive. It could be more practical and visual by showing pictures of individuals exhibiting features rather than repeating the same information 5-6 times for each section. It would be clearer with images. Also, you may be highlighting features of the ancient texts but I find it strange that the good qualities of Vata such as ability to learn quickly, curiosity and being good leaders is not highlighted, rather you say things like they are atheists, thieves and are unreliable. On the flip side, Kapha people can be overweight, slow to learn and not very dynamic but this is never pointed out with them being made to sound like God's gift to mankind. I think some factors like which professions would suit each dosha type and how to identify the Prakriti (exercises) would have been useful. I was looking for these, rather than learning 20 things about each dosha (half of which are not very redeeming for Vata!) repeated almost 6 times over the various sections.

I liked the detailed explenation about the qualities of Doshas. It made me understand the topic at much deeper level.

All in all, I liked the course. Sometimes, it was a little bit too fast and some of the slides changed too quickly. Besides this, it would have been nice to receive a written summary or handbook of the course for future reference.

The course is very well presented. I took the course to further enhance my knowledge and the course contents did help with that.

This is great a refreshing course with all the basic concepts of Ayurveda. I have been taking Dr.Hebbar's other classes for a long time and he is very knowledgeable and explains the subject in a very understandable way. Very informative and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who are interested in Ayurveda.
