As Ayurveda is an unlicensed profession in the United States, you do not need to join any third-party associations to practice Ayurveda. Associations are essentially private clubs and do not have any authority with the U.S. government and do not add any legal scope to your practice. They are generally formed to promote a group of schools with a particular ideology. Associations do not have the capability to review the quality of education or teaching provided by schools, and are generally ignored by Ayurveda professionals when assessing quality of new graduates. Joyful Belly has a license to teach Ayurveda from the state and thus do not need membership in any association to teach. Read more about the legal status of Ayurveda. Our students can and do join various Ayurveda associations and clubs, and have our full support. READ MORE ON THIS TOPIC
