=A FEW TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS OF THE "ESSENTIALS OF AYURVEDA" COURSE=
It was a wonderful, holistic, enriching 30 hours course. The course is full of knowledge about Ayurvedic principles and how one should follow his/her diet regime according to their body type. This course has improved my awareness of leading a healthy lifestyle and I would definitely recommend this course to all the people out there who want to learn about Ayurvedic lifestyles and be healthy both inside and out. Thank you Gaurav sir for always teaching so passionately. You are the best - Prarthana Arora (India)
As usual, an in-depth, very well designed and explained course. It is always a pleasure to learn from Gaurav Sir, who practices what he teaches. The course was a perfect blend of theory and application. The application of Ayurvedic diet principles to the western diet was covered beautifully, which increases our scope of practice. It has certainly raised my awareness about what I choose to eat, how I prepare it, and how and when I have it. During the course, I started implementing simple lifestyle changes and was surprised by the results. Now I feel more confident to prescribe diet plans to my clients. Ayurveda and Yoga are key to a healthy life. Thank you so much Gaurav Sir for courses like this. - Smita (Australia)
A great Ayurveda course by a great teacher, who is willing to teach everything he knows!! It was always a great experience with Rehab Yoga! I was waiting for this course, and thank you very much Sirji to provide all the knowledge about Ayurveda that I wanted to know. I enjoyed this course very much and learned the principles of diet according to Ayurved in detail, and cleared all my doubts/confusions about various diets. I also started implementing those things in day-to-day life. Experiencing great changes in me and my family. Thank you very much Sirji for this course. I respect your work and knowledge. Your teaching with heart and patience inspires me to learn more. - Varsha Deshpande (India)
It was a wonderful course that gave me in-depth knowledge about the basics and the intricacies of Ayurveda, about my own nature, body type, food and habits suitable for that. It was an honour to learn from Gaurav sir, as it is evident, he practices what he is teaching. And he taught the application and the relevance of Ayurveda in everyday life. Concepts of Ayurveda were authentically sourced and presented in a simple manner so that everyone can learn and grow from it. Above all, the awareness the course created about oneself from day to day, itself is precious. Thank you for this great learning experience Gaurav Sir.Truly grateful for this transformative course. - Roopam (India)
“Essentials of Ayurveda” is a beautifully designed course by Gaurav Negi, founder of Rehab Yoga. A 30-hour course covers everything from the history of this ancient food concept “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam” to the Dhatus and Various Food Tastes. The journey started off on an interesting foot and only kept getting us interested and more engaged as time passed. We learnt the types of the body we have and how to take care of them. Ayurveda is all about BALANCING. But the key is to understand how to attain that. That’s where this course is extremely helpful. It guides us in such a manner that we can maintain our bodies and guide clients in the same. As always, Gaurav Negi doesn’t believe in Spoon feeding. He makes us a master of the subject so we can judge based on the situation and the client's needs. He helps us in mastering whatever he teaches, step by step. That is his USP. I started my journey with Rehab Yoga at the beginning of 2020 and after a year and a half of continuous relationship, I am still impressed with his style of teaching and the learnings he imparts. So, with a heart full of gratitude, the only words that I can say are “Thank You!” - Sunil Dhinwa (India)
Gaurav is a truly fantastic course facilitator. From start to finish, his courses are seamless, well organised and flow from topic to topic. He is generous with his knowledge and empowers each student to become even better versions of themselves as teachers. The training is infused with passion and it is clear that Gaurav lives and breathes what he teaches making his training authentic. I completed Level 1 a few years ago in Corfu with Gaurav and was lucky enough to have the opportunity to complete level 2 online. His adaptation from live courses to online is further evidence of Gaurav's skills and it was fantastic to learn with people from all over the world. Level 2 builds on the topics covered in Level 1 and encourages the student to revisit all they have previously learnt too. I am very much looking forward to working with my private clients and introducing what I have learnt to their practice. The course builds on the fact that no two bodies are the same and explores ways in which this can be supported with props so that yoga can be accessible to all. For any serious yoga teacher, these courses are an investment that will add so much to your teaching. I have trained with people from all over the world and Gaurav is the person I will always return to and recommend time and time again. Looking forward to level 3! Thank you, Gaurav for everything and it is an honour to be a part of the Rehab Yoga family. - Jennifer Bose (Corfu)
Amazing transformative 30 hours Ayurveda course full of details on such a broad knowledge about lifestyle, food and mindset to prevent illness and maintain well-being every day. Thank you for another inspiring, interesting and informative course created and taught with enthusiasm and professionalism. I enjoyed it a lot and appreciate so supportive group sharing their own experience. Highly recommended for everyone who would like to know more about a healthy lifestyle according to ancient Ayurveda science, still valuable in our time. - Agata Mielewicz (UK)

Gaurav Negi
Gaurav Negi was born and brought up in India and started practising Yoga in childhood. Since his first experience with professional Yoga teaching, he realized the need to spread Yoga knowledge to more people to bridge the gap between the general population and medical experts. People nowadays have the wrong daily routine, physical postures, and diet, thus illnesses and diseases are cascading faster everywhere due to a lack of knowledge about human body functions.
He has then created various courses on Posture Alignments, Props work, Yoga Anatomy & Physiology, Muscle Imbalance Correction, Injury & Pain Management, Pranayama, Meditation, Therapy, and Ayurveda with a philosophy that "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure".
His amazing work has been recognized by Asia Fitness Conference in Thailand with the Personal Trainer of the Year award for spreading health and wellness in society. He has been invited to various yoga studios/schools around the world including, the UK, Europe, Australia, UAE, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and many more.
In 2017, he also opened his Rehab Yoga School, intending to share his knowledge of Yoga, Fitness, Rehabilitation, and Ayurveda with more people. Since then, he has reached the life of thousands of people around the globe. (Offline & Online)

Very detailed and moderately paced. Gaurav sir explains everything in a very simple manner. For anyone who is keen about ayurveda and wish to makes lifestyle changes accordingly, this is the course!!
By Silvana on 5/5/2025
Lots of information, a very knowledgeable instructor. Some things could have been shorter, because 30 hours is a lot of time. Some info was repetitive, but all in all a good place to start researching. The last part with nutrition, which is the most interesting to me, and I believe others too, is kind of short. I've never heard of some ingredients, because I live in Europe, and some ways of preparing food may not be in line with everyone's lifestyle (e.g. making ghee at home), collecting milk, preparing butter... Maybe adjust it a little for global use. The course is definitely recommended. I hope, maybe in the future, a cooking course according to the doshas. Some shorter version. What left the most impression on me was that food is medicine, not an emotional fixer.

The teacher keeps on repeating the same thing in all first 4-5 lectures.
