Alandi Ashram, Ayurveda Clinic & Gurukula

Alandi Ashram is nestled up against the foothills in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Founded in 1990 by Alakananda Ma and Sadanandaji, we are a community of compassionate healers in the Ayurvedic tradition operating an accredited professional school and training the next generation of Ayurvedic doctors.  

Ayurveda translates as “the science of life,”  and is the ancient Indian art of physical, mental, and emotional healing. Based on harmonizing the natural elements within and around us, Ayurvedic medicine is a time-tested system of holistic health that is highly specific to each unique individual. Ayurvedic treatments include delicious foods, medicinal herbs, massage, yoga, meditation, and other simple lifestyle changes that work to restore your body to its innate, healthy balance. 

Our well-established clinic offers consultations and holistic support that includes traditional Ayurvedic pulse, tongue, and nail analysis so patients can receive the most comprehensive and compassionate care possible. What sets our clinic apart is the sliding scale payment structure we offer that allows us to provide services to any person in our community regardless of income which means no person is turned away ever and they can receive the care they deserve.

In addition to the clinic, we also offer the highest level of training available in the US for Ayurvedic practitioners. Over the course of four years, our student apprentices develop their skills, expertise, and experience in order to elevate the industry as a whole and become effective practitioners in their communities. 

Your donation will support our mission of offering sliding scale consultations to those in need and enable our student apprentices to deepen their knowledge of Ayurvedic healing methods.

Testimonials

"Thank you for the care and concern your team has rendered to me this past year or so. The one on one attention has been unbelievably a part of the successful outcomes I've experienced. For instance, readings on glucometer have improved due to glucose drops for diabetes. And I have been practically pain-free after 3 bottles of pain and inflammation drops. Believe me that is a small miracle after experiencing back and leg pain for years! Thank you so much for passing on your wisdom and compassion to your patients."

"Alandi Ashram is one of the best centers in America for learning Ayurveda in a spiritual and Vedic context, emphasizing Ayurveda as a yogic discipline for students to both live and practice. Its director, Alakananda, was one of the first western physicians to teach Ayurveda, starting in 1980, and brings her extensive medical background into the work as well."
- Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri), Author, Yoga and Ayurveda; Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies

"The Front Range community is fortunate to have the wonderful services being offered by Ayurvedic practitioner Alakananda Ma and her team. She is a highly skilled and respected practitioner in the Ayurveda community, both nationally and internationally." -Kevin Casey, Banyan's co-founder and CEO

"Alakananda Ma is a spiritual teacher of the highest order. Trained in several spiritual disciplines, she is devoted to each of them in full fervor. Holding a medical degree, she is also trained in Ayurvedic medicine and nutrition. Most of all, she is a spiritual teacher who opens hearts, guides her disciples and promotes blessings for their lives. She received recognition, initiation and empowerment in those traditions and lineages and will inspire the people whom she serves. I give this endorsement after nearly a decade of having worked with her and been inspired by her."
- Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Author of From Age-ing to Sage-ing

"Alakananda Ma is a rare and brilliant resource in the field of Ayurveda and spirituality. Her teachings are not to be missed."
