This intact oral lineage is one of the few which comprehensively teaches all three styles of Kalarippayat, as well as the Healing Art of Kalari Chikitsa, and the shamanic postures of Kalari Yoga.
What is Kalari?
Simply put, Kalari is an Indian Martial Art and Healing Art form that is as old as Yoga and Ayurveda, which originated and was kept alive in Kerala as a closed oral tradition for thousands of years. It is the sister to Yoga and Ayurveda, and there are elements of those practices in Kalari.
What is the Kalari practice like?
Kalari has a systematic approach to training the complete Self: the body, the emotions and the mind. Practice begins with movement-based warm-up and conditioning exercises. Then the practitioner moves to a set of flowing movement sequences called body forms. Next are weapon forms, and shamanic animal postures. Kalari is a physically demanding practice, but the beauty is that persons of any physical condition can participate.
