Certified Pinda Sveda Training Course

The course will take place over three days at the Lakshmi Ayurveda Academy.

This course is great for students and practitioners who would like to learn how to effectively prepare for and provide Pinda Sveda Treatment.

What is Pinda Sveda? Pinda Sveda is a unique Ayurvedic treatment where a medicinal poultice is used to massage the body. It is many of our client’s favourite treatments!

We make the bundles using a variety of ingredients, leaves, and herbs suited to the client’s needs, to encourage deep nourishment. Heat, pressure and oil are applied simultaneously in this treatment and are ideal for strengthening the neuromuscular system, strengthening the soft tissue, joints and muscle, reducing inflammation and is often used in degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.

What you will learn:

- Different Pinda Sveda techniques

- Which ingredients to use, the cooking process and how to prepare the potali

- Massage sequence

- Indications and contraindications

- Which oils to use

Prerequisites: It is required that you have previous experience in Abhyanga massage. We prefer that you have taken our certified Lakshmi Abhyanga course but will accept students with outside training on a case-by-case basis.

Date: July 3rd, 4th and 5th 2024

Cost: $990.

Inclusion: Course workbook, chai and snacks.

Location: Lakshmi Ayurveda in Fremantle.

We have a downloadable course outline available on our website. Alternatively, you are welcome to email us with any questions you may have.

We hope to see you at the training!

We do not have parking available at the clinic during the training but there is free parking on Marine Parade towards South Beach, only about a 5-minute walk. These spots go quite quickly in the morning so I would give yourself extra time to find a spot. There are also a number of paid parking bays around. The train station is only about a 10–15-minute walk from the clinic and there are free buses around Fremantle. If any concerns regarding parking and transportation, please let us know.
