After many years, we're hosting an unique ku-nye massage course with Anu Rootalu-Wachsmann.

Ku Nye massage originates from the ancient kingdom of Tibet over 3900 years ago and is a practice indigenous to the Tibetan medical tradition. Earlier Tibetans practised Ku Nye through the diagnosis and used application of specific oils or extracted substances to treat the person’s imbalance or support his constitution.
