Prajna Yoga – Yoga and Marma Therapy: 21 Vital Points
Description of Yoga and Marma
Marma points are vital acupressure points located on the surface of the body that connect to the energetic circuitry of nerve and blood flow.
In this course we detail 21 key 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 along with the energetic connection and treatment benefits of each point. In addition to yoga postures, we use physio-balls, foam rollers and tuning forks to stimulate the acupressure points and bring vital healing to the subtle body.
Prajna Yoga: Tias & Surya Little
In Sanskrit, the word Prajna means insight, deep understanding, and mindfulness. It suggests a dynamic embodied wisdom that permeates every cell and every tissue in the body. Prajna Yoga is a profound journey inward.
Prajna Yoga makes its home in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the founders’ home, Tias and Surya Little, where they have lived since 1997. After directing local yoga studios for 11 years, Tias and Surya established Prajna Yoga in 2004 to integrate yoga discipline with contemplative practice and study. They built a retreat center that provides a serene setting for students to deepen their practice and studies. The Prajna Yoga Temple, handcrafted with the aesthetic of Japanese temple design, is an exquisite facility to support students who want to explore the healing arts of yoga.
