Course Description:
In 1986 during my Ayurvedic training in India, I followed my teacher, Dr. J.R. Raju on a daily basis as he taught me Ayurveda through the lens of pulse reading. After much training I wrote a pulse reading course with Dr Raju’s blessings that I used to train western doctors and is still used today by Maharishi Ayurveda. I have taught this course thousands of times to laypeople, doctors, and at two Ayurvedic Colleges for over 30 years each. I am excited to teach this course at the Sivananda Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas over four days of personal training.

You will learn how to feel prakriti (body type) and vikriti (imbalances) and how to prevent and treat imbalances based on an accurate pulse reading. Finally, you will learn how to take the pulse soul-to-soul and use the pulse as a healing tool restoring the memory of perfect health and consciousness in yourself, family, and patients with each pulse reading. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience and feel Ayurveda while you learn Ayurvedic Pulse Reading.

Course Objectives:
1. Learn to diagnose prakriti (body type) and vikriti (dosha and sun dosha imbalances) and herbal remedies for each imbalance.
2. Diagnosis Digestive Imbalances in the pulse and herbal and dietary remedies

Our mission is not only an effort to expand the accessibility of caregivers trained in this conscious way of caring for new parents and babies but also to affect social change on a broader level. We believe in meeting families where they are and adhering to the Mother's Principles of simplicity, flexibility, compassion, listening, intuition, grounding and non-judgment. We follow these principles with each other, with our students and as a foundation of the caregiving we teach.
