KolamYoga Learning

What is KolamYoga?

A systematic practice through the drawing and dancing of Kolam cultivates an expanding perception of our world and a deeper understanding of its underlying fundamental Universal laws. Ephemeral movement is made visual through the Kolam design; enhancing brain synchronization, fine motor skills and concentration. Sparking the ability to make connections between various disciplines; in the physical, emotional and intellectual realms.

The course offers psychological and pedagogical tools that are fuelled with an age-old spiritual practice with a vision of the complete human, present in all cultures.

The practice is all-inclusive and integral.  The Kolam Yoga one-year course enables you to become a Kolam practitioner, guardian keeper and teacher of its basic knowledge.

The ultimate aim of KolamYoga is one of self-development and self-realization.

Becoming a Kolam Yoga practitioner allows the Kolam syllabus to be reactivated again and again, consciously. The goal is to give it a newfound place within schools and learning institutions of various disciplines ranging from Science, Medicine, Architecture, Design, Fashion, Theatre and Dance to name a few.  Kolam Yoga can also impact all other subject matters with its wide range of knowledge.

I have seen Kolam designs being implemented by skilled computer design programmers of Tamil origin, creating fantastic images used in the Movie industry. Many of these brilliant Tamil mathematical brains have been ‘spoon-fed’ visually with Kolam structures by their Mothers. Not only do those of Indian origin have re-discovered the value of the Kolam. Japanese mathematicians and computer program designers have also understood its value and have researched in depth the Kolam patterns growth and expansion. Their findings amongst others are also included in the Kolam Yoga course.

 In order to keep improving the Kolam Yoga syllabus, it is continuously subjected to an on-going research, including others and maybe also your discoveries.

(We will dance from nature derived, natural organic, and movement sequences that deepen and become visual in the drawing of the relevant Kolam patterns.

The movements executed physically are similar to Kolam structures but also find their origins in various disciplines of dance and KoTree Hatha Yoga.)
