12 Week Hybrid Panchakarma Programme
11 Weeks Live Online + 1 Week Immersive Clinical Training in India
Ayurvedguru's 12 Week Hybrid Panchakarma Programme is a structured English-medium educational programme combining 11 weeks of live online learning with a 7 day immersive practical experience at Ayurvedguru in India. The programme is structured for those who want to learn authentic Panchakarma from experienced Ayurvedic physicians without needing to leave your practice.
Participants develop a structured understanding of Panchakarma principles, patient assessment, treatment planning, procedures, safety considerations and clinical application, followed by supervised practical exposure in an Ayurvedic clinical environment.
Who should join this programme ?
- AYURVEDA PROFESSIONALS: BAMS graduates, Ayurvedic physicians and practitioners seeking deeper Panchakarma training.
- COMPLEMENTARY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS: Naturopaths, yoga therapists and other qualified wellness professionals with relevant foundational knowledge.
- INTERNATIONAL AYURVEDA LEARNERS: Serious learners who have previous exposure to Ayurveda and want structured training with Ayurvedic physicians in India.
Why This Is Different From an Online Panchakarma Course
Clinical Reasoning, Not Just Procedures
Don't simply learn how Panchakarma procedures are performed.
Learn how an Ayurvedic physician thinks through:
Patient → Assessment → Indication → Contraindication → Procedure → Monitoring → Paschat Karma → Follow-up
Clinical Environment
You're learning from Ayurvedguru's working clinical environment in India.
Physician Led
Live interaction with Ayurvedic physicians rather than pre recorded generic lectures.
Clinical Cases
Real world cases, treatment planning, freedom to perform procedures independently and clinical decision making.
Optional India Immersion
You can actually travel to India and experience the environment you're learning about.
