Vira Vinyasa: Martial Arts Inspired Flow - Kalarippayat

😃 upbeat, dynamic, sweaty // 75 min. // Nicky // 🎵 Spotify

Seamlessly woven into an intermediate level vinyasa flow practice are elements from the martial arts tradition of Kalarippayat. Learn new postures, (called vaidavu in kalarippayat) - the elephant, the lion, the serpent, the cat and the horse. Of course, you will also explore more familiar yoga movements namely sun salutations, full splits, bird of paradise and headstand. This is an impactful class best enjoyed on energetic days.

This class is based on direct teachings Nicky has received the tradition at CVN Kalari in Thiravanatapuram, Kerala and other esteemed kalarippayat practitioners. To learn more about Kalarippayat please visit the website of my teachers http://www.cvnkalari.in.

Please also watch the first 10 minutes of the class where some context to the lineage is given - before diving in to enjoy the practice. Thankyou!
