Kalari is described as body-oriented psychotherapy because with practice it has the ability to transform the mind and body of trainees. Kalari Australia exists to promote and share the tradition of Kalarippayattu through classes, workshops, retreats, as well as raising awareness of the art through events, literature, film and photography. We focus on the understanding that Kalari is a means to fac
ilitate harmony from conflict and is deeply rooted in nature, and the way of natural systems. What are the natural cycles and rhythms of the universe, and how do we harness these for greatest health and energy? For most individuals conflict does not play out on a battlefield, but mainly revolves around work and life stress or anxiety β exploring, releasing and resolving this discord is our focus. All in all, Kalari Australia aims to respectfully bridge tradition with modern life so that todayβs students feel connected to the living lineage of Kalarippayat. Our hope is, that in doing so, each individual who comes to experience Kalari with us, will be able to develop their intelligence and wisdom for inner and outer peace β truly embodying the way of Kalarippayat.
