Ayurveda Training Melbourne – Hands-On Ayurvedic Therapy Courses

Learn traditional Ayurvedic therapies through personalised theory and practical training with experienced Ayurvedic practitioners in a working Melbourne clinic.

Ayurveda has many branches beyond herbal medicine. Traditional practice also includes a wide range of therapies, massage techniques, local oil treatments, herbal steam procedures and Panchakarma-related treatments.

These therapies should not be reduced to fixed spa techniques. The practitioner needs to understand the Ayurvedic reasoning behind the procedure, including Vata, Pitta and Kapha, Prakriti, Vikriti, herbal oil selection, treatment suitability and individual variation.

At Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic, our Ayurveda training in Melbourne is designed for people who want practical experience in individual Ayurvedic therapies and to understand the principles behind them.

Our programmes combine:

  • Ayurvedic theory

  • practical demonstration

  • hands-on training

  • Vata, Pitta and Kapha

  • body constitution assessment

  • herbal oil selection

  • treatment preparation

  • Marma points where relevant

  • traditional therapy equipment

  • personalised treatment principles

Training is generally conducted one-to-one, allowing the course to be adapted to the participant's knowledge, experience and learning objectives.

Classical Ayurveda. Practical Training. Modern Australian Setting.

 


Why Learn Ayurveda at Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic?

Ayurveda originated in India and has developed over thousands of years as a comprehensive traditional health system.

Learning an Ayurvedic therapy involves more than memorising massage strokes or following a treatment sequence.

A student should understand:

  • why a particular therapy may be selected

  • how Vata, Pitta and Kapha influence the treatment

  • how herbal oils and other preparations differ

  • when heat is useful

  • when heat may need to be reduced

  • how pressure or duration may change

  • how the client's constitution and current imbalance affect treatment

  • when a therapy may not be appropriate

Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic is operated by BAMS-qualified Ayurvedic practitioners Gurnam Saini and Pooja Saini, bringing formal Ayurvedic education together with extensive practical experience in Australia.


Ayurveda Training in a Working Melbourne Clinic

One of the important differences between learning Ayurveda in a classroom and learning within an Ayurvedic clinic is the opportunity to understand how a therapy is actually prepared and performed.

Participants may become familiar with:

  • traditional Ayurvedic treatment tables

  • Shirodhara equipment

  • steam equipment

  • medicated oils

  • herbal powders

  • herbal decoctions

  • Pinda or herbal boluses

  • Basti dough rings

  • practical client positioning

  • temperature management

  • therapy preparation

  • treatment sequence

  • aftercare

This practical environment allows students to connect Ayurvedic theory with the actual delivery of the therapy.


Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic and IICT

Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic has been an Approved Training Provider with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) since 2016. The clinic is currently listed in IICT's Approved Training Provider directory. (IICT)

The Ayurveda training program has been developed under the leadership of Pooja Saini, who completed her Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine in India and holds a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment – TAE40116. (Pure Herbal Ayurved)

Pooja Saini has been providing Ayurvedic consultations and treatments in Melbourne for more than a decade and has substantial teaching experience.

She developed Pure Herbal's practical therapy training packages and, in 2016, registered 15 additional Ayurvedic modalities with IICT, while Shirodhara was already recognised. Pure Herbal has since offered training across a total of 16 practical Ayurvedic modalities. (Pure Herbal Ayurved)

IICT describes its approved modalities as modalities that have been assessed for professional membership and insurance eligibility through its insurance partners. (IICT)

After completing an eligible Pure Herbal training course, participants may choose to explore IICT professional membership and professional indemnity/public liability insurance. Membership and insurance eligibility remain subject to IICT's current requirements and the requirements of its insurance partners. (IICT)

You can search for Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic in the IICT Approved Training Provider directory.

  • more than a decade of consultation and treatment experience

  • IICT-approved training-provider involvement since 2016

Gurnam Saini

The training therefore combines:

  • Panchakarma experience

  • teaching experience

  • traditional Indian Ayurvedic knowledge

  • experience adapting classical Ayurveda to modern Australian practice


What Makes Pure Herbal Ayurveda Training Different?

Individual One-to-One Training

Pure Herbal Ayurveda training programs are generally individual rather than large-group programs.

This allows the course to be tailored according to:

  • the participant's previous knowledge

  • professional background

  • chosen therapy

  • learning speed

  • practical goals

  • areas requiring additional attention

Participants have greater opportunity to:

  • ask questions

  • repeat practical techniques

  • receive direct correction

  • understand the therapy in greater depth


Theory and Practical Training Together

Our training is not designed as theory alone.

Each course includes a combination of:

  • theoretical Ayurvedic principles

  • practical demonstration

  • detailed handouts

  • supervised treatment practice

  • discussion of Dosha

  • oil and herbal preparation selection

  • Marma where relevant

The objective is to help participants understand why the treatment is performed in a particular way, rather than simply copying a sequence.


Understanding Vata, Pitta and Kapha

A major part of Ayurvedic therapy training is understanding that one therapy should not automatically be performed in exactly the same way for every person.

Vata

Vata is associated with qualities such as:

  • dry

  • cold

  • light

  • mobile

  • rough

  • irregular

A Vata-dominant presentation may require a more:

  • warming

  • nourishing

  • grounding

  • unctuous

approach.

Pitta

Pitta is associated with:

  • heat

  • sharpness

  • intensity

  • transformation

Where Pitta is prominent, a practitioner may need greater caution with:

  • excessive heat

  • strong friction

  • strongly warming oils

  • prolonged heating therapies

Kapha

Kapha is associated with:

  • heaviness

  • stability

  • coolness

  • oiliness

  • sluggishness

A Kapha-dominant presentation may sometimes require a more:

  • stimulating

  • lighter

  • warming

approach.

This Dosha understanding helps students appreciate why Ayurvedic therapy is personalised rather than mechanical.


Prakriti and Vikriti

Students are also introduced to the difference between:

Prakriti – the person's natural Ayurvedic constitution

and

Vikriti – their current Dosha imbalance.

For example, a person may have a naturally Vata-Pitta constitution but currently show significant Kapha characteristics.

Understanding this distinction may influence:

  • treatment selection

  • pressure

  • oil choice

  • temperature

  • treatment duration

  • frequency

  • aftercare


Ayurvedic Herbal Oils and Preparations

Pure Herbal training includes detailed discussion of the use of Ayurvedic herbal oils according to constitution, Dosha imbalance and treatment purpose

Depending on the therapy, participants may learn about:

  • medicated oils

  • herbal powders

  • herbal decoctions

  • milk-based preparations

  • Pinda preparations

  • steam herbs

Oil selection may be influenced by:

  • Vata, Pitta or Kapha

  • heat or coldness

  • dryness

  • stiffness

  • heaviness

  • sensitivity

  • season

  • treatment objective

The aim is to understand why a particular preparation is selected, rather than assuming that one oil is appropriate for everyone.


Marma Training

Relevant courses include theoretical explanation and practical demonstration of Marma points

Marma are traditionally regarded in Ayurveda as important anatomical and functional locations where structures such as:

  • muscle

  • vessels

  • ligaments

  • joints

  • other tissues

intersect.

Depending on the course, participants may learn:

  • location of selected Marma points

  • traditional significance

  • practical use

  • appropriate pressure

  • integration with massage techniques


Who Should Attend Ayurveda Training?

These courses may suit:

  • Ayurvedic practitioners

  • Ayurveda students

  • massage therapists

  • remedial massage therapists

  • naturopaths

  • beauty therapists

  • spa practitioners

  • yoga instructors

  • complementary-health practitioners

  • wellness professionals

  • health professionals interested in Ayurveda

  • people interested in traditional Ayurvedic therapies

  • carers or family members who want to learn selected Ayurvedic wellbeing practices

The courses can be suitable for people wanting to expand their professional knowledge as well as those learning for personal interest.


Prerequisites

There are generally no formal prerequisites for these individual therapy courses.

Some prior understanding of Ayurveda and its principles can be helpful, but foundational concepts are introduced where appropriate. 

Participants should understand that an individual practical therapy course is not equivalent to completing a formal university or nationally recognised Ayurveda practitioner qualification.


Certificate of Completion

A Certificate of Completion is issued after successful completion of the selected training.

The certificate confirms that the participant has completed training in the specific Ayurvedic therapy.

Because Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic is an IICT-approved training provider, graduates of eligible courses may also explore IICT membership and insurance options. IICT states that graduates of approved practitioner-level courses may be eligible for professional membership and access to insurance through its recommended partners, subject to current requirements. (IICT)

We strongly recommend that anyone intending to offer therapy professionally arrange the appropriate:

  • professional indemnity insurance

  • public liability insurance

  • professional membership where relevant

  • compliance with applicable scope of practice and legal requirements

before providing the therapy commercially.


Therapy Training vs Formal Ayurveda Practitioner Qualification

Pure Herbal's courses are focused on specific practical Ayurvedic therapies.

They should not be confused with longer qualifications designed to train an Ayurvedic practitioner.

A participant may choose Pure Herbal training because they want to:

  • learn one specific therapy

  • add a new modality to an existing wellness practice

  • improve their practical Ayurvedic skills

  • better understand traditional treatment procedures

  • gradually build knowledge across several modalities

Someone seeking a comprehensive formal practitioner qualification should investigate the appropriate recognised education pathway separately.


Pre-Reading Material

Once a course is booked, pre-reading material is sent to the participant by email before the training day. This helps participants prepare for the practical session and allows more training time to be spent on:

  • demonstration

  • technique

  • questions

  • equipment

  • hands-on practice


What Is Covered on the Training Day?

Training may be conducted as a half-day or full-day course, depending on the therapy selected.

The training generally includes:

Ayurvedic Theory

  • Vata

  • Pitta

  • Kapha

  • Ayurvedic constitution

  • Prakriti

  • Vikriti

  • relevant treatment principles

Herbal Oils and Preparations

Participants receive discussion and guidance regarding Ayurvedic herbal oils and their use according to different Dosha patterns and treatment objectives.

Step-by-Step Practical Demonstration

The selected therapy is demonstrated on a model so that participants can understand:

  • preparation

  • positioning

  • sequence

  • equipment

  • practical technique

  • aftercare

Marma Points

Where relevant, the course includes:

  • detailed handouts

  • location of Marma points

  • practical demonstration of their use

Build Your Ayurvedic Skills One Therapy at a Time

Not every participant needs to enrol in a large multi-year course.

Many people already work within:

  • massage

  • natural health

  • wellness

  • yoga

  • beauty

  • complementary healthcare

and may want to develop competence in one particular Ayurvedic therapy.

For example, a participant may begin with:

Abhyanga → Shirodhara → Indian Head Massage → Kati Basti → Nadi Swedana

Another participant may be more interested in:

Nasya → Shirodhara → Marma → Panchakarma-related therapies

This modular training format allows participants to develop their practical knowledge gradually.
