Highlights of Residential Kalari Programs
Kalari Intensive
As the name suggests, students undergo intense training sessions twice a day along with meditation practice. The main goal of this program is to improve mind-body coordination to achieve optimal fitness and prepare for advanced practices.
Meditation
Unlock Your Inner Wellness with Our Simple Meditation Practice. Our simple meditation practice helps you connect with your inner self where energy, creativity and inner wellness are inherent. By meditating after an exhausting Kalari workout, students can reach a meditative state quicker and experience a sense of bliss.
Work from Kalari
Our residential programs are designed for working Professionals. Our ashram now provides the opportunity for students to learn Kalaripayattu while continuing their job responsibilities with the convenience of a dedicated workspace and reliable Wi-Fi access, enabling students to balance their work and learning commitments.
Indulge in Nature
Gurukulam provides the perfect environment to disconnect, slow down, and reconnect with nature to rejuvenate the body, mind, and soul. When we meditate in nature, we become more aware and alive. We no longer see nature as just an object, but as a living and breathing world of wisdom and learning that is constantly teaching us.
