Kalarippayat Intensive and Intro in Hamburg

We are happy to announce that Kai Hitzer will be teaching a Kalari Intensive as well as a Kalari Introductory Workshop at SUTRA.Collective in Hamburg, Germany. The Intensive will give Abhyasis who have already completed at least one Introductory Workshop the chance to deeply immerse into the heart of the practice and cultivate Flow, Steadfastness, Aligment and Grounding.

The Introductory Workshop will give beginners an overview of Kalarippayat, its rich history and the spectrum of its practice and tradition. The differences and similarities with Hatha Yoga will be explored and the key principles of Kalarippayat will be illustrated: Extension of sensory awareness, opening and closing vs. gradually opening, doing vs. thinking, embodiment vs. enactment, Shiva and Shakti etc. Details about the Workshop can be found on the site of SUTRA.Collective.

First Kalarippayat Workshop in Riga

The first Kalari Workshop in Riga was a huge success with a maximum of 48 people attending including the staff of "Shiva Centrs" in Riga. It was a fantastic experience and the extend of hospitality, dedication and professionalism was amazing. As most of the practicioners present were long term students of Hatha Yoga and other vedic sciences, the Kalari workshop became quite demanding, leading up to several full Shiva Forms of the Pilaitangi branch.


The Kalari Workshop in Riga really illustrated the concept of global Yoga transcending mere language boundaries: Germans teaching in English which is translated to Russian for Latvian students. Riga is what could justly be called "the vedic capital of europe" and studies of the various vedic sciences like Jyotish, Ayurveda and Yoga are favourite passtimes and a way of life.


"Shiva Centrs" is a beautiful studio with its roots dating back to 1989. The studio creates its own water and provides Ayurvedic meals for the students on a daily basis. I think the specially prepared ayurvedic pizza became one of our favourites, as well as the city and its people. Thank you Shiva, Andrejs, Maris and all the staff for making this such a great experience for all of us. We will be back soon!
