Learning Experiences
Student Feedback
I used to struggle to organize the twelve meridians in my memory. This course explains each meridian alongside common concerns, making them easier to understand.
Studying meridians after working in physical therapy helped me understand the reasoning behind many procedures more clearly.
Suitable for gradually building foundations, especially relationships between yin and yang, the Five Phases, zang-fu systems and meridians.
