Course overview

Tibetan medicine acknowledges how health and illness result both from the relationship between the mind and the body and sense of spirituality. Exploring physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of healing, you will learn to understand the patterns of emotions and behaviours, so that we can illuminate negativity and become more balanced and harmonious. This course would be a useful adjunct for complementary therapists and yoga teachers.
