Kalari, Yoga and Ayurvedic traditions are very closely linked. Kalari compliments Yoga practices by adding in more “off the mat” movements and sequences that require strength and mobility. The warm ups, kicks and combative, weapons training also supports a different kind of focus and utilisation of internal force.

We include meditation, mantra, pranayama, concentration, focus and philosophy practices in

our classes and membership portal.

Contact us to discuss this further.

Anyone can train Kalari at any fitness level. We support you to develop your fitness. If you are unsure about this, and  if you can participate please contact us directly.

If you are injured or have prior injuries please contact your instructor and let them know. We have a broad range of exercises that support in rehabilitation as well. And you may also benefit from private mentoring sessions where your instructor will be able to provide very specific exercises for you.

Kalari can benefit all systems in the body as we have elements of flexility, mobility, breathing, strength, body control, balance, focus, cardiovascular and many more.

If you are not sure about how Kalari can support your health please trial a class or contact us

We have adults and kids classes for 7 years and up. 

Start anytime, however there is no better time than now.

Traditionally we do not practice on our heavy cycle days. We do not recommend jumping, running, any inversions, abdominal exercises or intensive training. In some instances light movement can support you, and this may include join rotations and very basic movements.

We recommend you contact Lalita to discuss this prior.

We have different stages of learning in traditional training:

   – Meithari (physical exercises, body awareness)

   – Kolthari (Wooden Weapons)

• Angathari (Metal Weapons)

   – Verumkai (Bare Hand/combative Techniques)

We recommend you start in the beginners hub area, and when the time is right you will move to the intermediate classes/hub and begin wooden weapons. And then continue to develop your practices. There is no rush to advance, and taking time to learn the foundations is highly recommended.

Contact us to discuss your goals.

We recommend you to practice after live and recorded classes as much as possible. Bring a note book to the classes and write down notes as you go along. Keeping a written record can help you to remember the movements.

Be patient with your movement journey. Learning new ways of movement is a challenge for all, and takes time and repetition. This time will depend on you and how often you can practice.

If you have other issues with memory (that may be health related - poor concentration, memory loss, etc) please contact us to discuss this and a health and wellbeing strategy.

Although we may be training a different style or have a different approach, you are welcome to train with us.

You can suspend your membership for a minimum of 1 month. Please let us know about this in advance. And If you are unwell please let us know asap.

You can cancel your membership at any time as well. 

Please read the T’s and C’s.

The classes are to support you into your optimum health. And to improve your fitness. You can start at any time. If you have any underlying health condition or have specific instructions from a medical practitioner,  please make sure to let your instructor know.

All the classes are recorded and you have 7 days post class to watch and practice them as many times as you want. We will then upload a new class for you to practice.

Tests that may be used to help find the causes of a thyroid problem, can include:

• blood and urine tests
• ultrasound examinations of the thyroid
• thyroid scans

Within Naturopathy/Ayurveda we also analyse the health of your digestion, gut bacteria, Tongue analysis, and can undertake other functional tests supportive of integrative health.

There are a few main factors to consider— two of them are age and sex. Your chances of having an underactive thyroid (hypothyroid) increase with age, and they are greater if you're female, as hypothyroidism occurs primarily in women older than 50.

Your risk for hypothyroidism also increases if:

   - You or a family member have a history of thyroid disease or any autoimmune disease

• You have taken anti-thyroid medications, have been treated with radioactive iodine, or had thyroid surgery
• You have been exposed to radiation

If you are unsure of any of the above, contact us.

Yes. Menstrual changes or lack of menstruation, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances may be thyroid and/or menopause related symptoms. If you have these symptoms and they are affecting your quality of life, contact us for support.

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is much more common than hyperthyroidism. 

Congenital hypothyroidism - is the most common cause of hypothyroidism present at birth where the thyroid fails to form. 

If you have symptoms that you are unsure of please contact us.

This may be a thyroid condition, however please see your doctor/visit a hospital immediately if you have these symptoms.

You can contact us after you have visited your doctor or hospital so we can help you investigate your condition and support you.

You can take natural medicines alongside Thyroxine. However it is best to be guided by a professional for safety and best outcomes. There may be interactions with certain supplements and your medications. Contact us for more information.
