What you will learn

The basic Kalari exercises

  • Kalari warm-up exercises
  • Kalari Vandanam, the opening salutation
  • Kaalukal × 4, the kicks
  • Chuvadu, the steps
  • Vadivu, the postures

What it does for you

Spinal flexibility
Better posture and balance, with head, shoulders and pelvis back in line.
Weight control
Losing 10% of body weight is enough to bring most lifestyle conditions under control. Regular practice burns fat once the body has used up its sugar.
Respiratory health
The deep stances build lung capacity, and pranayama breathing helps with stress.

Feedback from our students

The 7-day workshop was a great start to understand the body movement, strength and flexibility needed for Kalari. A big salute to all Kalari practitioners.
Thushar, Brahmapur
I completed the March workshop. It was a really refreshing and energising experience, and I feel increased energy levels throughout the day.
Jayendra, Ahmedabad
The 7-day training was excellent and covers the majority of aspects. Perfectly crafted, and power-packed.
