The American Institute of Vastu (AIV) is excited to present an in-depth series of courses on the theory and application of Vastu Shastra, the science of living in harmony with our environment.

What is Vastu Shastra?

Vastu Shastra is the first “green” science. Vastu helps us recognize the powerful influence our work and living surroundings have upon us. When we properly align our environment with Vastu, balance occurs. Once this balance is created, stress is reduced and the frustrations and limitations in life diminish.

Vastu comes from the same wisdom texts as yoga, meditation and the first medicine, Ayurveda. These texts are thousands of years old and predate any other known written information pertaining to all things that exist within our world and the universe, from astronomy to zoology. This wisdom is timeless and pertinent in our fast-living world today. Understanding and using it can help us lead healthier, happier lives.
