YOGA & KARLAKATTAI


KARLAKATTAI

Experience pure flow-state with this rhythmic practice that is simultaneously meditative and exhilarating! Learn the authentic, original, 60,000 year-old warrior conditioning system that utilizes traditional wooden clubs called Karlakattai. Originating from the Tamil Nadu region of southern India, Karlakattai fosters activation of left-right brain hemispheres while imparting strength, flexibility, and agility—leaving you feeling powerful and relaxed. Find your still point with this ancient healing art.

Loomis is a certified Karlakattai coach (Kshathiriyi) studying under 7th-Generation Grand Master (Asan) Jothi Senthil Kannan, author of the book Karlakattai, Ancient Warrior Practice, and founder of the International Karlakattai Sports Federation. Asan Jothi Senthil Kannan is the pre-eminent Kshaktiriya Guru who is protecting, preserving, and reviving the lineage and arts of this ancient tradition. Each Karlai (wooden club) and Gada (mace) at Kala Shala is meticulously hand-fabricated using endemic species of wood that contain particular medicinal properties.
