Introduction: Yoga is an ancient Indian discipline that strives to combine an individual's physical, mental, and spiritual components. Vajrasana, also known as Thunderbolt Pose, is a foundational Yoga pose noted for its stability and advantages to meditation and physical wellness. This study investigates the anatomical alignment and advantages of Vajrasana, focusing on its effect on Marma points, which are essential energy centers in Ayurvedic treatment.Methods; The study involves a thorough examination of Ayurvedic classics, Yoga manuals, and contemporary investigations to determine the anatomical and physiological consequences of Vajrasana.Practitioners practiced Vajrasana, and the effects on certain Marma points were studied using observational and analytical methods.Results; Vajrasana was discovered to strongly activate numerous important Marma points, including Kshipra, Gulpha, Indravasti, and Vitapa. The posture promotes blood circulation, strengthens the lower back and pelvic muscles, and improves digestive function. By stimulating these Marma points, Vajrasana enhances the passage of Prana, the essential life force, leading to improved bodily and mental well-being.Discussion; The study emphasizes the therapeutic benefits of Vajrasana in Yoga practice. The stimulation of Marma points in this posture is consistent with Ayurvedic teachings, implying a holistic approach to health that incorporates physical postures with the body's energy framework.Vajrasana's role in modifying Prana and increasing overall vigor underscores its significance in both ancient and modern Yoga practices.
