To teach meditative movement to adults and children to help themselves combat stress and get the confidence to face situations with a clear and healthy body and mind
My Karlakattai Journey:
Getting in touch with my roots and traditions, and learning about the benefits of Karlakattai Training, I was naturally drawn to this Ancient Warrior practice for body conditioning. I have been training with my Aasaan/Guru, Dr. Jothi Senthil Kannan from India for several years. I practice and teach every day and can see the positive effects of it in my daily activities as well as from my students.
On the 12th of December 2019, I set an Assist World Record for Karlakattai Idumban Suttru by completing 1860 Suttrus in 30 minutes.
My journey towards my mission has only just begun!
