Living Ayurveda: Evidence-Based Daily Routines for Prevention
An experiential journey for healthcare professionals.
Prevention is often discussed in clinical settings but rarely practiced in a way that clinicians can feel for themselves. This experiential workshop, offered following the AWCIM Integrative Medicine 2027 Conference, invites healthcare professionals to step out of the lecture role and into the daily routines that Ayurveda has refined over thousands of years, now examined through the lens of current research.

The day
Participants will move through the core practices of Ayurvedic lifestyle, including rising and waking rhythms, oral and sensory care, mindful movement, breathwork, meal timing and digestion, and evening practices that support restorative sleep. Each practice is paired with the clinical evidence behind it, so that what is experienced in the room can be confidently translated into patient care. Attention is also given to adapting these routines to time and place, so that recommendations remain practical for patients wherever they live and whatever their circumstances.
Led by Amita Nathwani, MA (Ayurveda), AWCIM Fellowship Faculty with 25 years of clinical and teaching experience, the day blends guided practice, discussion of the research, and case-based application. Clinicians will leave with a personal experience of these routines and a clear, evidence-informed framework for introducing them to patients.
Learning objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe the core components of Ayurvedic daily routine and the physiological rationale behind each.
- Summarize the current clinical evidence supporting daily routine practices such as meal timing, sleep rhythm, breathwork and oral care.
