Nadi Pariksha
Pulse Assessment Seminar
JUNE 18 – 21, 2026
10 am – 5:30 pm
Consecutive 4 days in-person in Surrey, BC
This summer solstice Guru-Kula-style seminar is now an annual retreat at my home in Surrey, BC.
After teaching this method internationally in India, the US, and soon in Mexico, with Dr. Lad’s precious blessings, I’m now continuing the four-day retreat program.
I remember Dr. Lad’s prophetic words from early in my training: “When you master the pulse reading, the Indian doctors will seek you out to learn.”
Even today, graduating Ayurveda physicians in India do not learn this critical skill due to large class sizes and a shortage of skilled practitioners/teachers.
I was able to learn this technique only because of an apprenticeship training, the only Ayurveda path available to me at the time, which started some thirty years back.
Nadi Pariksha is the primary skill of the Ashta Vidha Pariksha (Eight-Fold Assessment science), learned over many years and requiring consistent practice. It is best learned in person with individual attention.
Returning graduates are welcome for the weekend-only portion, with a 10% discount.
