Hyatt Regency Hotel, Bellevue, Washington

Just 10 miles from downtown Seattle

Thursday through Sunday
April 19 to 22, 2012

This year's theme is:
Ayurveda:

Healing People

Healing Communities

Ayurveda brings a unique and holistic approach to attaining health and wellbeing. Those who practice Ayurveda understand there is tremendous value to viewing healing through the lenses of the doshas, the subtle doshas, and the gunas in the context of the seasons, time of life, and work-life environment. To attain swastha, what are the unique approaches Ayurveda offers? How does individual healing translate into effects on the larger community? What role does a healthy community play in individual healing? How can various communities collaborate to provide sustainable healing resources?

Join the National Ayurvedic Medical Association, its Board of Directors, Advisors, Members and friends for a weekend of exploration and deeper journey into the wisdom of Ayurveda. An excellent opportunity for us to come together in community to learn and celebrate!

Included for this conference:

Focus on Clinical Practice Presentations
3 continuing education Practicums for Practitioners and advanced students of Ayurveda (see details on the Practicum page)
Presentations on Ayurveda's integration with Yoga, Vastu, and Jyotish
Presenters well-known in the Ayurvedic community as well as some new voices with excellent information to share
Products, services, and information from Sponsors and Exhibitors throughout the conference
…and more!

We invite you to review the session descriptions, Presenters’ bios,
and in-depth information provided on each web page.
You will find all the details you need to register and plan for your conference attendance.
