TIBETAN HEAD HAND & FOOT WORKSHOP 

 

Tibetan Head, Hand and Foot Workshop It is based on Tibetan Ayurvedic principles and dates back over 5,000 years to the ancient Bon religion which pre-dates Buddhism. It is similar to Indian Ayurveda and Tibetans believe that individuals are composed of five elements - earth, wind, fire, ether and air and three humors (similar to the Indian doshas - vata, pitta and kapha) which are wind, bile and phlegm. Tibetans also believe the body is composed of five winds which are linked to five chakras. They claim wind is life sustaining and when the crown chakra is out of balance it has a knock-on effect on the other four causing imbalance in the body. Therefore the aim is to restore equilibrium and prevent ill health by slowing down the flow of wind.
