Nadi Pariksha: Pulse Assessment, 4 day, In-person retreat!

LOCATION Private Residence (Guru-Kula Retreat) Surrey, British Columbia, Canada Full address provided after application is approved.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

A 4-day, hands-on apprenticeship in the art of Ayurveda pulse reading, taught the traditional way, in a small group, with individual attention.

Most Ayurveda practitioners never receive formal training in Nadi Pariksha. Class sizes in India have grown too large, skilled teachers are scarce, and even graduating physicians often leave school without this foundational skill. The only way to truly learn pulse assessment is the old way: apprenticeship, repetition, and a teacher present enough to feel what you're feeling and correct you in real time.

This is that training.

Hosted at Jaisri Lambert's home in Surrey, BC, over the summer solstice, this annual Guru-Kula-style retreat continues the lineage of Dr. Vasant Lad's pulse assessment method, researched and documented in his book Secrets of the Pulse. Jaisri trained directly with Dr. Lad through an apprenticeship over thirty years ago and has since taught this method in India, the United States, and soon in Mexico.
