Find out the dominant elements in the human body within yourself and better understand yourself. You will learn based on your body type, behavior, language, skin, digestion and other physical and psychological characteristics.
Pelvis coures
Pelvic coures in osteopathy, the body is always viewed as a whole, so the differences in the pelvis between men and women are interpreted not only anatomically, but also functionally - how it affects movement, the work of internal organs, posture and dynamic forces within the body.

The magical me
The Magical Me is a trainin where we explore the effects of the elements on our bodies and how they function within us.
The determination of the dominant elements in the human body (air, water, fire, earth, metal) is based primarily on the teachings of oriental medical systems (e.g. Chinese medicine, Ayurveda) and their combination based on body type, behavior, language, skin, digestion and other physical and psychological characteristics.

Basic lymphatic system course
The lymphatic system is one of those “hidden” systems of the body that often goes unnoticed, but it is actually very interesting and closely related to the functioning of the entire body.
1. The center of the immune system
Lymph nodes are like sentinels that filter lymph fluid and trap germs, viruses, and even cancer cells.
The lymphatic system is the main “road network” of the immune system, quickly transporting protective cells to where they are needed.

Pelvic and endometriosis coures
Basic views in osteopathy:
1. Anatomical difference
The female pelvis is wider, lower and has a more spacious pelvic inlet to support pregnancy and childbirth. The sacrum is wider and shorter, the pubic arch (arcus pubicus) is wider.
The male pelvis is narrower, higher, with a deeper pelvic inlet, the sacrum is longer and narrower, the pubic arch is sharper.
2. Functional view
In osteopathic terms, the female pelvis is more adapted to changes (e.g. pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal fluctuations). Therefore, it is often more mobile, but also more prone to instability (tension of the sacroiliac joints, problems with the pubic symphysis).
The male pelvis is more stable and stronger, but less flexible, being more suited to vigorous movement and bearing the weight of the body.
3. Osteopathic dynamics
Pelvic movement (nutation and counternutation – small forward and backward movements of the sacrum) affects the entire spine and skull tension field.
Osteopaths see that in women, pelvic mobility and a more elastic connective tissue structure can contribute to the manifestation of menstrual pain, pelvic floor tension or post-pregnancy changes. In men, greater rigidity and less change can lead to problems with persistent tension in the lower back or overstrain of the pelvic floor muscles.
4. The energetic and “axial balance” view according to osteopathic philosophy
The pelvis is the “lower fulcrum” of the body – it is where the body’s weight is carried.
The female pelvis is often associated with receptivity, creativity and adaptation.
The male pelvis is associated with strength, stability and protection.

Teachers The osteopathy joureney
Osteopathy is a journey – not only towards knowledge, but also towards deepening perceptions and presence.
When learning osteopathy, you learn, above all, to listen to the body – both the client’s and your own.
During the course of learning, it is important to:
come to each coures day in an open and focused state of mind, observe your own physical and emotional reactions, as they are part of the learning process,
practice the quality of touch – gentle, precise and non-invasive contact is the basis of osteopathy,
give yourself time – a deeper understanding of how the body works is developed in silence, practice and repetition,
respect for the student and the teacher – every body’s story is unique.
Information for student
Studying osteopathy requires physical presence, empathy, and inner balance.
It is not just a craft or technique, but a practice that combines science and perception.
As you study, you learn to notice – how the body moves, breathes, and restores its own balance.
Your role as a student is to create your own presence where this restoration can occur.
