Markus, the founder of Flow Temple

Meet Markus.

I teach yoga and bodywork, and practise moxa myself. Flow Temple brings together practical teaching, traditional references, and equipment for home learning.

I’m not an acupuncturist or Chinese medicine doctor. This is education for home practice, with clear limits and named sources.

More about Markus and the sources

A few things
before you begin.

What should moxa feel like?

Moxa is a warming practice, but painful heat is not a goal. Stop if you feel pain, skin irritation or discomfort. Learn the limits and follow the instructions for your specific product before any use.

Is there smoke?

Burning mugwort produces smoke and an earthy herbal smell. Use a ventilated room, keep children and pets away from lit units, and follow the safety instructions.

Can I learn as a beginner?

Yes. The illustrated lessons begin with equipment, safety boundaries and reading point locations. Study at your own pace; the first lesson is an unlit preparation exercise, not a treatment.

Is moxa suitable for everyone?

No. Read point references freely, then use the Guide's checks to learn when home practice should not proceed. Product-specific home instructions are awaiting qualified review. The Guide does not diagnose or determine medical suitability.

Where do you deliver?

The Starter Kit ships from Sydney, with free delivery across Australia. Tracking is emailed when your parcel is on its way.

How do I access the course?

After checkout, look for your course access email. Sign in with the email used for your purchase. The kit and online teaching are included in the $99 AUD price.
