Payatt INtransit
Class:
Payatt intransit is a contemporary movement technique that combines movement principles from the ancient Indian martial art, kalarippayattu, dynamic energy work, as well as yogic principles like pranayama and meditation. It trains the practitioners in a safe, organic and yet rigorous way to become more confident, soft, relaxed, flexible and powerful. It is training us to be quick in our movements, reflexes, and choices. We learn to isolate the strong physical aspect of this class from the constant calm within. We create rage in order to find rest and we create chaos to find calmness. The purpose of the technique lies in knowing one`s physical, mental and psychological boundaries as well as its reasons. The aim is to expand those frontiers.
