What is the difference between a Practitioner and a Therapist?

Ayurvedic Practitioner

Ayurvedic Practitioners are qualified to diagnose disease conditions from an Ayurvedic perspective as well as prescribe and administer the full spectrum of Ayurvedic therapeutics, e.g. Ayurvedic remedies, nutrition and lifestyle advice, Ayurvedic hands-on treatments and panchakarma.
All practitioners have professional indemnity insurance and abide by the APA Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Ayurvedic Therapist

Ayurvedic Therapists are qualified to give Ayurvedic nutrition and lifestyle advice and administer Ayurvedic hands-on treatments such as massage, shiro dhara etc.
Ayurvedic therapists are not trained as practitioners and therefore are not qualified to diagnose disease conditions or prescribe Ayurvedic remedies.
All therapists have professional indemnity insurance and abide by the APA Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Increasing Flexibility – yoga therapy has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.


Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.

Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.


Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.
