KARALAKATAI HEALING RETREAT
Harness the power & wisdom of Ancient Warrior Arts through Mei Padam and Karalakatai
This 2-night retreat is a transformative program to tap into your inner warrior, heal from inside out and to feel connected back to what matters to you.

Movement and healing
Harness self awareness and vitality through breathwork and movement
We’ll start with exploring Mei Padam, an ancient Indian warrior art form which translates to ‘Body Lessons’ in Tamil. Breathwork is also key to this practice ~ simple techniques calm your nervous system and enliven your energetic body.
The beauty of this practice is in its simplicity. Absolutely anyone can do these movements.
And during the retreat you can witness Karalakatai ~ the advanced form of warrior art related to Mei Padam ~ being demonstrated. It’s incredibly powerful to see this in action.
