Prana is the Sanskrit word for energy, life force and breath.  Yoga uses physical poses (asana) and breath (pranayama) to increase and regulate prana through the body.  Marma therapy is a technique used in Ayurveda that helps to move prana through the body to create balance and healing. 

Marma therapy is the application of pressure to the specified points.  There are 107 primary marma points on the body, head and face.  These points are not fixed and can differ in specific location from one person to another.  A sensitive therapist can locate the area of congestion and utilizing hand and finger pressure on the marmas can facilitate the flow of prana within the body.  Marma therapy can also be practiced routinely in self-care and it is a simple and effective healing technique.
