Marma Chikitsa

What is Marma Therapy?

107 marma points — the main energy points of the body.

Marma Therapy is a therapeutic practice based on the 107 marma points, known as marmani, in our body. These are the body's main energy points — generally understood as the main intersections of the 72,000 nadis that carry prana (life energy). Marma points and their relationship to the nadis can vary between Ayurvedic texts and traditions.

Marma Therapy has its roots deep in the ancient Vedas, where it is described as a powerful means to heal and balance the body's energies. By stimulating these points with pressure and correct massage, it releases tension and energy blockages and enhances the free flow of prana — leaving a person more energetic and healthy.

Student feedback about Arogya Yoga School in Rishikesh

Anita Talavera G200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Google

Feeling blessed by finding this school and taking the courage to travel to Rishikesh and join the 200YTTC for many reasons. To start, I was always resisting the “Yoga Classes” feeling they weren’t for me, that I was incapable of practicing like others. Until I started my journey with Arogya and learned that the inward journey has nothing to do with others but with myself, find that fire and balance within me…

Balaji RenganathanYoga Teacher Training Google

The best place that will feel like a second home. It’s not a school but a family. They take care of you like it’s your own home. On yoga, Arogya is the best. The level of attention to details is something that anyone can only dream of. 28 days goes off like 28 hours with such a professional conduct and caring attitude. I was gifted to be there and you will meet up some life changing connections. Their weekend getaways are one of its kind with very unique selection of places.

Heike200-hour Hatha and Ashtanga TTC Google

My 200-hour yoga teacher training at Arogya Yoga School was an unforgettable and truly wonderful experience. The time I spent here was simply amazing, and I am incredibly grateful for everything I was able to learn, experience, and take away with me. The teachers are not only highly competent and professional but also incredibly warm-hearted and inspiring. During my time here, I learned so much about yoga philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and the connection between body, mind, and soul. I also learned a great deal about myself and had the opportunity to grow both personally and spiritually. But it is not only the teachers who make this school so special – the staff and the owner are also incredibly kind, warm, and helpful people. From the very first moment, you feel welcome and like part of a small family. I wholeheartedly recommend Arogya Yoga School to anyone looking for a well-founded, inspiring, and unforgettable yoga teacher training. Thank you so much for this wonderful and inspiring time. I will take so many beautiful memories with me and am already looking forward to seeing you all again!

Namaste, I had shifted to rishikesh around an year back following a journey into self transformation..during that time, I would see AROGYA YOGA SCHOOL everyday from my balcony as i ended up renting an apartment in the adjoining lane..finally I decided to join the school for 200hrs yttc..from the first day itself, I experienced a certain warmth and love that I had longed for a while, and a positive sense of community that was missing from my life..everyone one associated with this school has an energy that is heartfelt and healing in their own special ways..it was transformative to meet RAJNEESH JI and AZAD JI, true gems of humans who helped me cope and heal with the school matters aswell as my personal life..SUNITA JI ,who always had a beautiful smile on her face, attending to every query we had..the cooks and cleaners who were attentive to their jobs and our needs in everyway possible..it was a blessing to have met each and everyone.. Now talking bout the school and the structure,the day starts early, as it should..the routine is perfectly set throughout the day with ASANA, PHILOSOPHY, ANATOMY AND ALIGNMENT CLASSES spread out evenly with meals and self study time.. Azad ji asana classes were the highlight of my day, every single day...rajneeshji sound healing sessions were just the icing on the cake, completely relaxing.. Apart from the curriculum, our outing,temple visits, yoga near ganga Mata(2mins walk from school), were all thoroughly enjoyed..the The connections made here are long lasting, and i plan to return to the school for my next 300hrs yttc in the winters..till then I start to make my own practice from all the knowlege sent my way.. I will forever be thankful and grateful for my experience with AROGYA YOGA SCHOOL, and await my future experiences with the AROGYA FAMILY

Thank you to the teachers ‘causr each of them in their own way of teaching opened my mind to a new way of living and thriving with a purpose. The small batch teaching group made possible for them answered our questions and creating a very dynamic and super enriching class. In the end a fell in love with the asana practice, with my meditation encounter with me and filosofy makes everything have sense, easy to digest and incorporate to our daily life and on top of that, being able to bring this to people that need it, being able to teach afterwards ✨ family and enlightenment that’s all it is. Thank you for making this 25 days a magical journey 🙏🏻
