How I Work

Observe · Experience · Practise · Reflect

Ayur-Marma-Yoga emphasises what can be experienced, practised and carried into everyday life. Education is not information alone — information can be read. Observation, practice and embodied understanding must be cultivated.

The Method

Experience Before Abstraction

Ayur-Marma-Yoga brings selected elements of traditional Indian knowledge into direct, practical experience. It rests on six foundations.

🌿

Ayurveda

Constitution, lifestyle and self-care.

✦

Marma

Traditional vital-point awareness.

🧘

Yoga

Aṣṭāṅga Yoga, Antaranga Yoga, Indian Vedic philosophy and embodied awareness.

🌬️

Prāṇāyāma

Breath and regulation.

🪷

Dhyāna

Meditation and contemplation.

🌱

Natural Living

Practical lifestyle principles rooted in Indian systems of health.

The Journey

Understand→Experience→Practise→Integrate

There is no single rigid routine for everyone. The method is complementary, personalised and adaptable — designed to work alongside appropriate systems of healthcare, education and wellness, not to replace them.

AyurMarmaYoga has evolved through more than two decades of clinical practice, hands-on learning, teaching and personal practice. Its purpose is simple: to make traditional practice practical enough to belong to everyday life.

About Dr. Hegde Professional Profile

The Name

Why Marma Narayana

Narayan is my given name. Nārāyaṇa, however, is not intended as personal ownership.

The name Nārāyaṇa has travelled through generations of my family. For me it represents continuity, responsibility, and the commitment to carry something forward. The literal meaning of the word is one who guides.

For me, Marma Nārāyaṇa is a principle — not merely a personal name.

Traditional practice

Made for Real Life

Practical Integration, Not Complexity

Programs adapt to the situation in front of them. Whether the engagement involves one person, a family or an institution, I bring my experience and effort fully to its agreed purpose. For me this is tapas — sustained, disciplined and wholehearted engagement with a purpose.

Time  ·  Place  ·  People  ·  Setting  ·  Infrastructure

The Principle

Observe deeply. Practise carefully.
Adapt intelligently. Share responsibly.

The setting may change. The commitment remains. One individual, one family, one practitioner, one institution at a time.
