Classes with Dr. Lad - Herb, Marma - weekends or 6 day intensives

[Guest guest]

If you ever have the opportunity to study with Dr. Lad in the US or

India, please consider it. He is such a kind, expierienced, gentle

and enlightened man and excellent teacher. Rather how Dr. Bhate

sounds, but I have not had the good fortune to meet Dr. Bhate in person!

 

This first class more than fulfills the level 1 herbal study

requirement for AyurDoula training. Students will need to have

attended foundational Ayurvedic classes as well. (Mike, please define

what prereqs in terms of theory familiarity and terminology are needed

to gain most from these classes?)

 

The marma study for those who can take it we call level 3/advanced, it

will be valuable for mothers and babies with special needs, those who

are ill and cannot receive the home spa care as we call the mother's

abhyanga, and of course many diverse client applications.

 

Blessings;

Ysha

 

Ayurvedic Herbology: Practical Application and Formulation of

Ayurvedic Herbs

 

Dr. Vasant Lad, BAMS, MASc

June 29 - July 5, 2007

 

Ayurvedic herbology is a dynamic practical science based on an

in-depth understanding of the guna (qualities), karma (actions) and

the subtle energetics of herbs along with dosage, timing and proper

administration. In Ayurveda, herbs are used to bring balance to the

body, mind and consciousness.

 

In this seminar, Dr. Lad presents 16 main herbs and the theoretical

principles of Ayurvedic herbology as they specifically apply to health

and vitality. He will also discuss the important role of tastes as a

medicinal action. You will be introduced to compounding principles,

herbal formulas, considerations of safety and interactions and be

taught the one-to-one correspondence of the Ayurvedic herbs with their

western counterparts.

Marma Chikitsa: Ayurvedic Vital Energy Points for Assessment and

Healing of Organs, Dhatus and Srotas

 

Dr. Vasant Lad, BAMS, MASc

July 6-12, 2007

 

A marma is a vital energy point accessed on the surface of the body

that serves as a bridge between the body, mind and spirit. These sites

are infused with prana, the life force, and imbued with consciousness,

which is most lively in expressing itself at these locations.

 

A combination of lecture and practical, hands-on techniques, you will

study and practice this 5,000-year-old system of healing therapy.

Learn the most important marma points that address problems specific

to each area of the body. Dr. Lad will teach methods from this ancient

Vedic knowledge on how to use oils, touch, gemstones and color to

bring each system back into balance. Uses of marma therapy for

balancing the doshas and the srotamsi (bodily channels) as well as

through the practice of aromatherapy are all included. These skills

can be used to enhance your existing practice or for personal well-being.
