Ku Nye massage (Level 2) with Anu Rootalu-Wachsmann (In person only)

It. is also a traditional Tibetan therapeutic practice rooted in Tibetan medicine, which focuses on restoring balance to the body, mind, and spirit. It has been used for centuries as a holistic approach to healing, combining massage techniques, the application of oils, herbs, and the use of specific pressure points to promote wellness.

We offer online and in-person courses on Tibetan Medicine, mantra healing, and Vajrayana Buddhism, with a special focus on the Yuthok Nyingthig lineage.
