Program Information

Choose from 15-day, 30-day, 60-day or custom duration residential programs. All the programs commence on the 1st of every month (for example July 1st, August 1st).

The focus of our longer duration programs will be to get the practice to a certain level of perfection. We believe it is not about how much you learn but how precisely and perfectly you are able to execute the practices.

Why One to One?

While in-person training enables faster learning through 3D observation and hands-on corrections, online learning naturally requires more attention from the teacher as well as the student to perfect posture, alignment, and movement.

What you’ll train in

Through our online training, students cover the Meythari stage of Kalaripayattu while also being introduced to the fundamentals of Kolthari.

Meythari

The foundation of Kalaripayattu, focused on developing the strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and body awareness required for all further practices. Training includes Kalkal (leg conditioning), kicks, Amarchas & jumps, Meipayattu and Chuvadukal.

Kolthari

The stage where students learn to use wooden weapons. Online training includes the first stage of Kolthari, which is long stick rotation.
