The route in, step by step
6 steps from where you are now.
Class 12, science preferred Required
PCB if you intend to take a clinical degree; other streams can enter through nutrition or yoga routes.
Take a clinical or wellness qualification Required
The credible routes are an AYUSH degree such as BAMS or BNYS, a B.Sc in Nutrition and Dietetics, or a Yoga Certification Board credential. The field is unregulated, so what you hold is what distinguishes you.
Register, if your qualification carries a register Required
AYUSH graduates register with the state board. Yoga and nutrition credentials have no statutory register, which is exactly why clients ask what yours is.
Work inside an established centre first Required
A wellness resort, hospital Ayush wing, corporate wellness provider or clinic. You learn assessment, client handling and where the limits of your scope are, which is difficult to learn alone.
Build a specialism Required
Weight and metabolic health, stress and sleep, post-illness recovery, or corporate programmes. Generalist wellness consulting is crowded; a defined problem you solve is not.
Consult independently or run programmes Optional
Independent practice, retainer work with corporates, or your own centre. Be clear in writing about what you do and do not treat, because the absence of regulation cuts both ways.
