When we arrived in India, we had the opportunity to stay at Sri Prakash International School and Ayurvedic Hospital. This unique experience allowed us to immerse ourselves in Ayurveda and learn directly from an expert Ayurvedic Doctor, all at an affordable price. It was enriching for us to be so close to children who were fun and curious.
The first thing that struck me about Sri Prakash International School and Ayurvedic Hospital was its sheer size. The campus spreads across 32 acres, giving both students and patients ample space to move around, explore and relax. The school settings provide a serene and calming atmosphere that allows students to focus on their studies without any distractions.
The school administration has given equal importance to sports and extracurricular activities along with academics. A vast playground and related infrastructure for a plethora of sports like cricket, athletics, basketball, football, volleyball, and so on are offered to students. The school also runs its own music academy that provides training in classical Indian music and instruments such as the sitar and tabla. The girl students that would come to our room all wanted to play with Amala and wanted me to teach them yoga. The school has so many activities from so there is always activities for the students specific interests.
Moving onto the Ayurvedic Hospital, I was amazed at the level of care and attention paid to its patients. Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medicine that uses a natural and holistic approach to healing. The hospital offers a range of treatments including massage therapies, detoxification, and rejuvenation therapies. Patients can also attend yoga and meditation classes to help them relax and rejuvenate their body and mind. The hospital integrated the educational philosophy with Ayurveda, which promotes health and well-being in a sustainable manner.
The hospital incorporated Ayurveda into the school’s curriculum, providing hands-on experience to students. Students study the basic principles of Ayurveda and undertake practical training in the hospital. It allows them to appreciate the concept of preventative healthcare, and encourages them to take responsibility for their health. I have the privilege of watching the Ayurvedic Doctor and Therapists provide care for the injured students. It was amazing to see Ayurveda used in such a way that is so different from the way I practice Ayurveda in the USA.
It’s worth noting that the school and hospital work hand in hand to provide the best possible environment for their students and patients. The school’s catering department provides healthy food, sourced freshly from organic farms, a well as their own cultivation, thus providing patients with wholesome meals rich in nutrients. Here is a picture of a banana field below…… and also the cows and buffalo for milk. I do have to say, it was spicy! Overall, patients and students alike will benefit from an environment that emphasizes health and wellbeing as an integral part of their life.
With love and travels,
