A complete immersion into the theory and practice of stimulating the body's 107 vital marma points to restore the natural flow of prana.
Ayurveda teaches that the human body contains 107 vital energy openings — known as marma points — through which prana (life force) flows and concentrates. When these points are blocked, physical and emotional ailments arise. Marma Therapy stimulates these points using therapeutic touch and medicinal herbal oils to restore the body's natural harmony.
Jatrudhara — points above the clavicle (head, neck, face).
Shakha — points across the four limbs.
Madhyamanga — points within the trunk (chest, abdomen, back).
Known as the "Yoga Capital of the World," Rishikesh is the birthplace of many ancient wellness traditions — and the ideal place to immerse yourself in authentic Ayurveda.
A short, honest glimpse of life inside our centre — the therapy rooms, the training, and the quiet in-between. Press play and let the room come to you.
Working directly on the body's energy junctions — without needles, drugs or invasive procedures.
Classical practices of Ayurveda mention 107 Marma points in the human body. As per the Ayurvedic principles, these are the important points and are present in different areas of the body. Each Marma point has its own functioning. These are the points where the human joints, bones, veins, muscles and ligaments come together!!
Each Marma point is responsible for the health of a particular part of the body. For example, Marma therapy means offering therapeutic massage to the Marma points!!
In Marma therapy, selected Ayurvedic oils are applied to the Marma point, and gentle pressure with the correct technique is provided. This helps in activating and regulating the health of the Marma point, which in turn ensures the health of the targeted organ or area of the body.
For example, if you are having a headache, then there is a certain Marma point through which it can be cured naturally. Similarly, if there is pain in the knees, then the related Marma point should be massaged and pressed in order to relieve the pain!!
Applying the correct pressure and using the correct methodology needs training and deep wisdom!! Our Marma Massage Course India offers theoretical and practical training to transform you into a profound Marma therapist!!
Rishikesh is also called the Yoga capital of the world. The reason behind this is the holistic practices like Ayurveda, yoga, and Marma learned and performed by profound sages and yogis in ancient times!!

Authentic reviews from our global community sharing their journey of learning, healing, and transformation at Haritha Ayurveda Academy, Rishikesh.
Five focused days and I can now locate and work the major marma points with confidence. Day 3 and 4 were the most valuable — the teacher physically guided my hands to each point rather than just pointing at a chart.
I am a sports massage therapist and joined to add something different. The Jatrudhara head and neck work has become the most requested part of my treatments back home. Well worth the trip.
Grounded in the Sushruta Samhita rather than a watered-down version. The contraindications session on Day 4 was especially useful — they are honest about which points to avoid and why.
I came with no background in Ayurveda at all and never felt lost. Tridosha and Prakriti were explained clearly on Day 1 so the marma theory made sense afterwards. The herbal oils they use are lovely.
Small group, so you get real hands-on time instead of watching a demonstration from the back of a room. The full-body treatment on the last day pulls everything together.
The setting in Rishikesh adds a lot — quiet, green, and close to the Ganges. My certificate was issued on the final day without any delay and I have already started offering marma sessions.
