Kalaripayattu
A choreographed martial art form based in yoga and developed in Kerala starting in medieval times. Forbidden by the British, it is now assuming some of its original prominence and prestige.

Because of Ahimsa’s relationship with Unnikrishnan Gurukkal, we are able to offer a unique program in which he will teach Kalaripayattu. The course will be similar to our other workshops in that it will use the airy yoga studios and living spaces, and will include both daily lessons and supervised practice time. Each class must include six or more students, who will be pre-qualified by Ahimsa. Kalaripayattu camps are offered throughout the year and can be customized to the needs of the group.
These physically demanding retreats are conducted by Kalari Master, Unnikrishnan Gurukkal, and his assistants on Ahimsa premises. The camps will involve several hours of daily teaching followed by practice time.
