At first I hesitated to watch the documentary on Kalaripayattu - an Indian Martial Art.
"What does this have to do with yoga?" I asked. But after an hour of googling for better yoga videos, and finding it way past 1 am, I decided to watch the documentary to finish the night.
Astounding and wonderful realizations flowed, once I got into the four part series, which shows the unity between yoga, kalari, and Indian classical dance. What's more, all the fighting masters are also doctors of Ayurveda and therefore marma.
The video also shows the mutual origin of the Surya Namaskar, at once a worship of the sun and total body stretch, and as we find out - also the basis for a fighting sequence that consists of worshipping the Gods and Goddesses.
