September 4th 16:30 – 17:30 at Veröld - House of Vigdís:
All are welcome to attend a live demonstration on the ancient Indian Martial & Healing Art, called Kalarippayat (Kalari), from the state of Kerala. This ancient skill was passed on from word of mouth for generations and evolved alongside Yoga and Ayurveda, consequently sharing elements of both.
Kalari aims to bring peace to worldly conflict – inner and outer. Its practice and treatments create a holistic individual, beginning from physical health, and mental balance and progressing to the unification of the mind, body, and spirit.
