Marma as Gateway to the Subtle Body | Immersion in Santa Fe
October 10 - October 13

In yoga and Ayurveda, marma points are vital acupressure points located on the surface of the body that connect to the energetic circuitry of nerve and blood. In this course we detail the 21 most important marma points that can be directly stimulated through yoga postures. Via pressure point therapy, we activate the flow of prana at each marma point to improve circulation through the skin, fascia, and organs.
We study the anatomical location of each point, comparing and contrasting the marma points of Ayurveda to the acupuncture points used in Chinese Medicine. We provide pressure point release in yoga postures, through direct stimulation using bolsters, blocks, the floor, and belts. In dyads, we use restorative poses such as supta baddha konasana, savasana, and leg-up-the-wall pose combined with manual pressure point release. Each day, when practicing alone, we cover ways to impart direct stimulation on the points using small physio-balls. This course is deeply rejuvenating while providing the essential knowledge to use pressure point stimulation in any therapeutic context in order to heal the subtle body.

This study was amazing for me! Helped me to integrate more and more the energetic work in yoga . Doing yoga through the prism of the marma points give more inner awareness and more space inside.”

“I found extremely valuable…Using the marma points to affect the subtle body, especially the last day’s work on the head and neck was entirely new to me. As always with Tias, I was blown away by the depth of information covered in this training!”
