My grad-school adviser held Dr. Robert Svoboda in high esteem, so I learned the basics from Prakriti: your Ayurvedic Constitution. Prakriti is Mother Nature - Goddess Nature Herself embodying all materiality. Prakriti's other half is PuruSa God or pure Spirit or pure non-material Being analogous to elements in Hegel and Heidegger.

The other is Svoboda's associate Dr. Vasant Lad. Good news! Looks like Dr. Lad recently published Ayruveda textbooks vols 1 2 and 3! Did not know that.

So Dr. Svoboda for easy and fun introduction (also could check out his other works on jyotish and Aghora - a type of left-hand esoteric yoga - very good, entertaining read) and Dr. Lad for more serious study. Dr. Lad has an Ayruvedic institute in NM offering some kind of credential if you get very interested. Good Luck!
