The three modules connected me to like-minded people; the students and faculty members were extremely supportive during the length of the program, I strongly recommend AFNC to any individual who wants to raise a healthy family by adopting a holistic lifestyle.” Dr. Samina Ahmad, Tappan, New York
"To put it simply "I love this program!" It is much more then I could have asked for. It has not only helped me learn how to bring Ayurveda to the kitchen table, but has more so taught how to nourish my body as well as how to serve family, friends, and guests delicious and nourishing food, which I find to be a wonderful honor and privilege. After completing this program I feel much more confident in the kitchen as well as in the grocery store. Who knew that there is so much to learn and so many different ingredients to be utilized in cooking? It's safe to say that this has been much more than just a cooking class! From the lectures, assignments, and time organizing, preparing, and cooking balanced Ayurvedic meals, it has felt as if I am not only eating, but also sleeping, and breathing Ayurveda. Food truly is medicine! I can hardly wait to start helping others with what I have learned!! Lastly, but far from least, is the amazing connections and learning experiences shared with my classmates. I feel that I couldn't have had the privilege to work with a more friendly group of individuals. Everyone has been so helpful and nice! They have taught me a deeper understanding of teamwork as well as the importance of coming together to achieve a common goal. Learning with and from everyone has been such a wonderful and unforgettable experience.” Forest Seifert, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The best part was the hands-on modules where we were able to watch and learn, and then practice cooking ourselves. Everyone was very supportive and encouraging - even when mistakes were made! I learned a lot and now love using all the spices I once just wondered about. Coming over from Italy to do this was a great idea.” - Michelle Costantini, Italy and Pennsylvania
"Dr. Shekhar is clear and very motivating. He will do anything to help us continue on this path with lots of support and encouragement. The hands-on cooking was amazing and delicious. Dr. Shekhar taught us from personal experience and was very willing to show us new techniques. This program will help us all stand out as more complete Ayurveda practitioners. We had a wonderful community of like-minded, new friends. Highly recommend!" - Linda Varady Berman, Long Island, New York

"The classes are practical and interactive. The hands-on cooking assignment is unique, because it allows the student and faculty the opportunity to prepare, eat and engage in discussions based upon the valuable Ayurvedic principles of "Food as Medicine". Antonio Andrade, MD, Orlando, Florida
"The AFNC program was very useful in learning about cooking different foods with modifications for dosha balancing. The webinars and classroom lectures covered a variety of topics on Ayurvedic nutrition to get a better understanding of the role of food as medicine in our lives for health and healing. The program was taught by great teachers with a lot of experience in Ayurveda from India which kept the material very authentic. Dr. Shekhar offered a good combination of Ayurvedic and modern perspectives of food and nutrition that I could apply in my own practice as a dietitian. Combining the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with my previous knowledge of Nutrition and Medical Dietetics has taken my practice to a new level of counseling so that I can provide my patients with the necessary tools to intuitively make choices in their food. The teamwork in the kitchen, the laughs, and our cheerleader Dr. Shekhar were some of the highlights. If you love Ayurveda, this is a program for you".
