What it's about
Wùo Taï grew out of the meeting of osteopathy and dance. It was created in the 2000s by the French osteopath Roland Combes, who blended osteopathy, embryology and anatomy with Chinese medicine, Taoism and the I Ching. This course is the introduction and the first of six modules, Articulations, taught by Roland and Nathalie Combes and hosted by Almuth Kramer.
In Wùo Taï the practitioner suspends themselves from the receiver's body; fascial suspension combined with spontaneous, intuitive movements allows deep relaxation and the release of tension in the fascia. In this module participants learn the basic gestures of the practice, study and practise 17 Wùo Taï gestures that focus mainly on the articulations, and gain knowledge of fascia and basic anatomy. They are also introduced to the philosophy of movement, the vision of Wùo Taï and contemporary expressions of osteopathic principles.
No prior therapeutic experience or specific prerequisites are required. The course suits curious newcomers, healthcare professionals, people from sport, yoga, massage or dance, and those who want to become Wùo Taï therapists. It takes place over the Easter weekend, 26–29 March 2027, Friday to Monday from 08:00 to 17:00, at the Aikido Dojo, Hasenheide 9, 10967 Berlin. It is taught in French with translation into English. The fee is €640.
