Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo and Laura Evangelisti share timeless wisdom that you will not find elsewhere.

Katya

I was so fortunate to meet the great Tibetan Master Namkhai Norbu 10 years ago. Everything I know about spirituality, awareness, and the nature of the world I learned from him. Among many precious teachings, He was also giving advice and methods for parents and children, based on traditional Tibetan medicine and Tibetan yoga. This is one of a kind opportunity to learn form the dedicated students of Rinpoche and experts in the fields of Tibetan Yantra Yoga and traditional Tibetan medicine. Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo and Laura Evangelisti share timeless wisdom that you will not find elsewhere. I will definitely be there to learn.

Dr. Wangmo's compassion and strength are always shining brightly.

Adam, Tibetan Medicine Student

I knew the moment I met Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo that I wanted to study Tibetan Medicine with her. Dr. Wangmo's compassion and strength are always shining brightly. I have been her student for many years, doing exciting projects in various countries and places. I feel truly fortunate to have her as a teacher and trusted mentor. She continues to amaze and inspire me with the depth of her knowledge, clarity, and dedication.

“Experiences with small and large groups of children in schools and recreational contexts have been extremely positive, the children enjoy doing the practice and learn to pay more attention in everything they do. This in turn boosts their self confidence and makes them more conscious, aware and considerate of others. Since the regular practice of Kumar Kumari also improves memory and mental clarity, teachers and caregivers appreciate it as a highly constructive activity that encourages the harmonious development of children’s personalities. The poetic name of Kumar Kumari, The Garland of Lotus Flowers, also reflects the joyful interaction that arises when children practice together in a circle”

Tibetan Medicine

A traditional & complete holistic health system

Learn more

Traditional Tibetan Medicine is an ancient system of healing that represents the base and the context that informed Yantra Yoga. This is why a general overview of the principles of Tibetan Medicine will make it easier to better understand why this ancient Yoga system is more than a temporary healing practice since it can also lead to long term health.

Tibetan Medicine is based on the theory of the Five Elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. The first four elements are like the material basis and the Space element is like empty energy providing room for the other elements to develop. According to Tibetan medicine this is how our body is composed. To maintain a healthy body these five elements need to work together.

The Wind element and its various functions is particularly important for understanding the physical, energetic and mental benefits of a correct breathing practice since it represents the moving energy of our body deeply connected to the breath, nervous system and to our mental activity. In traditional Tibetan medicine, Yantra Yoga has been used as an effective method to heal and prevent the disturbances of the Wind element.
