The art of reading the pulse

Begin to understand and practice with basic Āyurvedic pulse assessment


The Āyurvedic tradition nādīvijñānam, reading the pulse, is both a skill and and an art. It is the first and most complete of the ancient Vedic diagnostic tools and is best learned directly from an authentic master with great spiritual insight.

The course is a 2-week training program at VIOA (Vasanta Institute of Ayurveda) in India.
