Kalaripayattu is much more than a martial art – it is a living sadhana that refines body, mind, breath and awareness.

The recent conversation with Aparna Munipella, Chief Editor, INDICA Changemakers, and Kalaipayattu Master Sri Tarun Kumar shares how traditional Kalari practice, rooted in consecrated spaces, leg conditioning, mud floors, oil application and deep humility, can help today’s children and adults reconnect with the elements, calm the nervous system and move from “body” to “being”.

We are delighted to inform Sri Tarun will be bringing this wisdom to our upcoming 3‑day residential Kalaripayattu workshop at Indica Gurukulam @ Ritambhara, from May 13–16. If you wish to experience Kalari as a holistic path to strength, grace and focus – not just as a sport – this is a wonderful opportunity.

Exploring Dimensions of Health & Wellbeing – A Transformative 3-Day Intensive Retreat at Ritambhara Retreat

What does it truly mean to be healthy in today’s world?

Guided by Sridhar Deshmukh ji, this immersive workshop organized by Indica Yoga took participants on a powerful journey—from the evolutionary roots of disease and epigenetics to the fascinating role of the human microbiome. It revealed how modern lifestyles and everyday choices shape our health more than we often realize.

Blending science with lived practice, the sessions covered nutrition, inflammation, mental health, stress, and emotional resilience—offering both clarity and direction for sustainable wellbeing.

What made the experience truly impactful was its hands-on approach:

1. Daily modular workouts
2. Pranayama and balancing meditation practices
3. Learning Jala Neti Kriya as part of a personal health routine

Participants didn’t just learn—they experienced.

With an intimate group of 11 participants, the workshop became a space for reflection, reset, and real transformation—moving beyond symptom-management towards a conscious, holistic, and evidence-informed way of living.
