kalaripayattu

The senior students of Kalaripayattu are subjected to Chavitti uzhichil. It takes a very experienced asan to do it. He balances himself by holding a rope that is tied horizontally across the room above his head and uses his legs to massage the student’s body. He has very clear awareness about how much pressure he must apply to various parts. The neck, face, and head are massaged only using the hands.
