Kula Yoga Fest

Saturday and Sunday 9:45am Meet at Charity’s bodywork tent in the vendor village.

Immerse yourself in the ancient Indian martial art of Kalaripayattu, deeply rooted in the Vedic traditions of Kerala, India. In this focused session, you'll begin with a series of honoring salutations, preparing your body for a glimpse into the strengthening and mobility exercises that form the foundation of this ancient practice. Explore the dynamic world of animal movements, stances, and fundamental body techniques that embody the essence of Kalaripayattu. As the class draws to a close, you'll experience a moment of stillness, participating in a short call-and-response chant that honors the lineage and offers a reflective pause on the journey you've embarked on during the past 30 minutes. Through this introduction, you'll discover that Kalaripayattu is not just a physical discipline but a profound way of life that cultivates inner strength, self-awareness, and harmony with the world around you.
