PITCHAULI / UDVARTANA / MULTANIM

Training: Pitchauli - Udvartana - Multanim

This training module offers the study and practice of three traditional Ayurvedic body techniques, each associated with specific therapeutic principles and the balancing of certain doshas.

These treatments allow you to explore different Ayurvedic approaches to bodywork:

• Snehana (oilation and tissue nutrition)

• Rukshana (drying and stimulating action)

• Lepana (therapeutic applications of medicinal pastes or clays)

  
  

Students will learn the theoretical Ayurvedic principles, the indications according to the doshas, as well as the practical protocols for applying these three techniques.

It is possible to participate in the entire module or in a single session (Pitchauli, Udvartana or Multani Mitti) depending on availability.

Pitchauli

Pitchauli is a deep Ayurvedic massage traditionally performed by four hands , using a generous amount of warm sesame oil. In Indian tradition, this treatment is renowned for its profoundly warming and regenerative effects. It is sometimes associated with body practices favored in certain royal circles in India.

The technique relies on the synchronization of the movements of the two practitioners, who apply similar pressure and rhythm in order to create the impression of a massage performed by a single person with four hands.

Traditional indications

• Pacifying Vata dosha : dryness, fatigue, nervous agitation

• muscle tension and body stiffness

• physical and mental fatigue

• feeling cold or lack of vitality

  
  

Therapeutic principles :

• Snehana (therapeutic oleation) nourishing the tissues ( dhatus )

Udvartana

Udvartana is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment performed dry, using medicinal powders applied to the entire body.
