The practice

Martial flow, feminine power

Our practice centers on Meithari, the embodiment techniques that form Kalarippayatu’s foundational movements, building balance, agility, and dynamic power through stances, fluid transitions, and movement.

Body Mudras (Vadivu): animal-inspired stances, from the stability of Gaja (Elephant) and rooted strength of Varaha (Wild Boar) to the flexibility of Sarpa (Snake) and agility of Marjara (Cat), to embody primal intelligence.

Kalari Prana Flow integrates CVN Kalari warm-ups with Prana Flow namaskars, guided by Shiva Rea as a longtime student of Gurukkal Sathya Narayan.
