I joined the Ayurveda course with almost no background and left feeling completely transformed. The teachers explain every concept patiently and the practical marma sessions were the highlight for me. Rishikesh itself adds so much to the experience.
5-Day Marma Therapy Course Bali
"Awaken Your Inner Healer & Transform Lives"
Course Overview
What You Will Learn
Are you interested in learning about vital energy centres called Marma points in the body? They are main energy junctions in the body where muscles, veins, ligaments, bones, and joints meet, according to modern science. These points are all connected to channelize life force energy (prana flow). We are offering a 5-day Marma Therapy Course at the Nighantu Ayurveda Centre in Bali. Marma points are not a new discovery; they have been part of Ayurvedic tradition for over thousands of years. Rooted in the Sushruta Samhita, one of Ayurveda's foundational texts, Marmas were originally understood as vital anatomical sites where the body, mind, and consciousness intersect.

Nearby Locations You Can Visit
Bali holds its sacredness in the open air, and much of it lies close to our school. Between sessions, students often set out for the island's waterfalls, wander through the monkey forest, join a kirtan gathering, or roll out a mat for beach yoga as the light softens over the water.
You are free to explore these nearby locations in your own time, on the days that suit you. Many students find that a quiet morning by the sea or an afternoon among the rice fields deepens what they are learning in the Ayurveda and yoga classroom.
