Alosha Lynov is a Bio-Architect who combines the principles of Earthships, the vision of Antoni Gaudí, and the elegance of Sacred Geometry to create autonomous Living BioShelter Organisms—self-heating, self-cooling, and self-sustaining structures.
He founded Bio-Veda Academy of Bio-Architecture for the purpose of educating and empowering people to design and build their own eco-homes. To date, the academy has provided hands-on video courses in ecological construction and water self-sufficiency to more than 3,500 students worldwide.
With over 25 years of experience, Alosha has dedicated his career to integrating biomimicry, permaculture, and sustainable technologies into architecture. His unique approach emphasizes biomimetic forms and systems that are structurally stronger, more cost-effective, and more harmonious with natural landscapes than conventional building methods.
Alosha’s path began in the late 1990s, initially working with spandex sculptures for event design. In 2007, he trained in Mexico at a flying concrete workshop, where he mastered the creation of Gaudí-inspired ferrocement shells. He later applied this knowledge to his own land, building a 700 sq. ft. seashell-inspired structure and developing a fully self-sufficient ecosystem.
His work has taken him across five continents, where he has studied with global experts and taught workshops in BioTecture, permaculture, and water self-sufficiency. Today, his focus remains on developing and teaching innovative building techniques that enable individuals and communities to live sustainably and resiliently.
recently completed an online course with Alma Oasis and was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience.
Highly Interactive, The lessons keep you fully engaged rather than just passively watching videos, making the material much easier to absorb.
Excellent Quizzes, The interactive quizzes and multiple-choice questions at the end of each module are brilliant for testing your understanding and reinforcing what you just learned.
Beautifully Laid Out, The platform is clean, intuitive, and incredibly easy to navigate.
Relevant & Practical Information,The content gets straight to the point, delivering up-to-date knowledge that you can immediately apply in the real world.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a well-structured, modern, and genuinely useful online learning experience!
It taught me lots more about the effects of nature and specifically the forest on humans. I live in a forested neighborhood so now I will be able to get the most out of where I live and maybe someday help others to understand the importance of forest bathing. I still have lots more to learn before that happens but I feel like I now have a good grounding.
I have always been a tree-hugger. I am also a retired massage therapist and I write haiku and other Japanese poetic forms. I live on a wooded lots about a mile from a state park. I was destined for this course. I learned so much and can't wait to share the benefits of sylvotherapy with others.
I learned so much and validateds so many of my beliefs with scientific facts. This was one of my favorite courses ever. I was learning what I love AND now am equipped to share it with the world!
I really enjoyed this course. I learned way more than I thought I would. The site is very easy to navigate and I like how we can ask questions and get clear answers or opinions on things.
I am an artist, writer, and practitioner whose work centers around presence, connection, and our relationship with the natural world. I enrolled in the Sylvotherapy Practitioner Certification because I wanted to deepen my understanding of the relationship between people, trees, plants, and forest environments. I found the course both fascinating and expansive. I especially enjoyed learning about phytoncides, forest biology, tree and plant properties, and the many different ways sylvotherapy can be practiced. The course gave me new knowledge that I can incorporate into my existing work while also inspiring ideas for future nature-based offerings. I finished the course feeling even more curious about the relationship between people and the environments we inhabit, and I am excited to continue learning.
