COMMUNITY CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

If you are looking for an alternate fitness programme, try a traditional approach like Kalaripayattu.What Kalari does for you is :

Creates greater flexibility
Tones all major muscles
Increases energy levels
Improves lung capacity
Improves blood circulation
Relaxes the mind, reduces stress and is an effective anger management technique.
Aids in creative exploration through an exploration of energy and rhythm
Enhances mental clarity, spatial awareness and sharpens peripheral vision
Increases self exploration and body awareness

My classes also integrate elements of CAPOEIRA, the Brazilian martial dance form and music.

Who should call me : Anyone wanting to learn Kalari as a martial art form, corporates interested in an alternate fitness programme with a difference, someone wanting a traditional Indian approach to exercise, members of the dance community looking for technique, training and choreography.
