The Hindustan Kalari Sangam offshoot near Auroville, with residential training that bundles stay, food and two daily classes, plus online classes, a diploma course and treatment.
Founded in 2010 by Lakshman Gurukkal, director of Hindustan Kalari Sangam and a Ministry of Culture Senior Fellow in Kalaripayattu and Natyashastra. Kalaripayattu, Ayurveda, yoga and meditation are taught, with offline classes, online classes and a structured diploma course.
Residential training is the most packaged of any school in this directory: rooms from dorm to single, booked ahead, with food and both daily classes included. That makes it the simplest first long stay in the region, particularly for anyone new to India.
Treatment is offered on site, with online consultation available for remote follow-up.
Seven decades of training and treatment at Puthiyara, with board and lodging on site and a dedicated women's Kalaripayattu team.
The Kozhikode CVN, founded by K. Narayanan Gurukkal, known for film choreography from Thacholi Othenan to Bajirao Mastani and for its in-patient treatment ashram.
A kuzhi kalari at East Hill with resident and day students, and a steady stream of theatre artists from France, Italy and Canada on three-to-six-month stays.
