Ayurvedic Pulse Diagnosis Course
Dr. John Douillard
Tuition: $495
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 the changing of vata, pitta, and kapha throughout the day, before and after food, yoga, meditation, chanting, satsang, and swimming at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
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.
You are invited to come early and join Dr. John Douillard for a Yoga Vacation Program Vedic Breathing as Medicine May 30-June 1, 2025.
