Sowa Rigpa & Ku Nye Massage
Certified professional training from Sorig Khang Belgium
Learn the foundations of Tibetan medicine and traditional body therapies within an authentic lineage passed down for over 1000 years.
Why train?
Tibetan medicine, or Sowa Rigpa, is a millennia-old medical tradition that considers the human being in its entirety:body, energy and consciousness.
You will learn to understand the energetic dynamics of the body, to establish a diagnosis according to Tibetan tradition, and to apply therapeutic care derived from ancient medical knowledge.
In a world where imbalances related to stress, lifestyle, and loss of meaning are increasingly present, this knowledge offers a deeply human, preventive, and individualized therapeutic approach.
Training in these methods develops therapeutic skills as well as a subtle understanding of life and health.
