The Ayurvedic Perspective of Women and Men’s Health

Vasant Lad, MASc
June 12 – 18, 2009

All women and men desire to cultivate optimal health as a springboard for a vital life, healthy relationships and good progeny. Unfortunately, physical trauma, emotions and psychological issues can crystallize in the reproductive channel. The ancient science of Ayurveda has understanding, tools and insight on how to manage even the most complicated cases. In the ancient Ayurvedic literature, there are many for the female and male reproductive systems as well as the male urinary system. Health and vitality in these areas will lead to greater satisfaction in one’s life.

Vasant Lad will share his many years of experience and teach us how to bridge the gap between western nomenclature and Ayurvedic management. Areas include the menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea (painful menses), menorrhagia (excessive menses), amenorrhea (absence or abnormal stoppage of menses) PMS, vaginitis, endometriosis, cervical dysphasia, menopause, infertility, prostrate, prostatism, prostatitis and impotence

Pulse Practicum

Vasant Lad, MASc
June 19 – 25, 2009

The pulse is a mirror of the state of one’s health. Prana flows from the outer skin to the deepest organ. Under each of the three fingers are three doors that tap into inner organs so that one can be in tune with the individual’s prana. Reading the pulse is an art of deeper meditation. Vasant Lad will teach you to access the prana to become more intuitive with the pulse. Learn to assess the states of the doshas, organs and tissues, the stages of disease, and a person’s mental state. Learn the theory behind the levels of the pulse and be guided through specific aspects of pulse assessment by Vasant Lad and qualified Institute staff.

Ancient Ayurvedic Art of
Clinical Practicum

Vasant Lad, MASc
July 3 – 9, 2009

Developed for Ayurvedic practitioners and health care providers with Ayurvedic training, this seminar is for those who are seeking to enhance their Ayurvedic consultation skills through study with an experienced and respected Ayurvedic physician. Vasant Lad helps the physician and student enter the heart of the patient with the light of knowledge and a sense of compassion. Darshana (observation), sparshana (touch), and prashna (dialogue) unfold your awareness of the inner samprapti (stage of imbalance).

Every person is a living book and reading that book is the fascinating art that you will learn in this clinical practicum. Vasant Lad will share how to integrate western and Ayurvedic views to get a complete picture of pathogenesis. Enhance your ability to consult with the client, learn to communicate at their level of need and understanding and have your consultation be a meeting ground of education, intuition and clinical experience. This is a problem-based, client-centered approach to Ayurvedic assessment and recommendations.
Pre-requisites apply.
