It is suitable for beginners who want to deepen their understanding of Ayurveda and to be able to incorporate the principles of Ayurveda into their own lives for improved health, happiness, and to empower their spiritual practice. Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine which has been used for thousands of years in India to treat a whole range of health concerns.

Complementary Dosha Consultation with Swamiji

Swamiji will be offering 30 minute individual dosha analysis for students to understand their balance of doshas. This can be scheduled with swamiji who will discern your doshas through pulse and questions. Swamiji can take your pulse distantly though in person consultation is preferred for local Virginia and Maryland residents.

There are many printed and online Dosha Tests, and many "practitioners" of Ayurveda rely upon these, but in our experience these self tests can be very misleading. The surest way to learn your doshic balance is through nadi nidana (pulse diagnosis) conducted by a qualified practioner trained in recognizing the pulses.
