The course represents a slight counterweight to the Western concept of medicine and physiotherapy. The central
theme of the lessons is an insight into the functioning of the human body by traditional Chinese medicine and
oriental physical education systems. Special attention is paid to working with breath in connection with body
movements in various dynamic and static exercise forms.
