Solar – Kalari Prana Vinyasa & the Flowing Art of Kalarippayatu
Morning Session 9:00am -12:00pm
Awaken your instinctual body through a dynamic introduction to the ancient Indian martial art form Kalarippayatu, or Kalari, and its intertwined roots within yoga and Ayurveda.
Based in the CVN lineage form, we'll explore the spiral fluidity, core power, and internal meditation with Kalari through foundation vaidavus (Kalari asanas), body mudras, namskaram, and Kalari prana vinyasa - a sequence to prepare and activate the flow of prana. You will be able to feel the power of Kalarippayatu from this session and learn a basic warm-up to help open the flow of the nadi lines in yoga or daily life.
