A Healing System Born from Warriors and Wisdom

Kalari–Marma therapy originates from Kalaripayattu, India’s oldest martial art. Designed to treat injuries sustained during combat, it evolved into a sophisticated healing science that activates 108 vital energy points or Marmas through touch, pressure, herbal oils, and movement. At Ojaswi, we bring this knowledge to life with personalized treatments that go beyond relaxation restoring mobility, relieving chronic pain, and calming the nervous system at its core.

What our clients say about us

5/5

I had a minor bike accident which led to my hand getting bruised & swollen on impact, and my friend rushed me to Ojaswi. Very glad to have gone there immediately - the team was super kind, proactive and extremely skilled in what they do. They helped me clean up, and did a natural herb wrap on the wounds, which helped heal it within hours on the same day. I was explained the process and the rationale behind the natural treatment, and was also given clear instructions about the upkeep of the wrap. Super grateful to have tried natural healing with Ojaswi - they’re more than just a business; it’s wonderful to see a team that is so deeply in touch with, and connected to their lineage & traditions, and are brilliantlystewarding this authentic space & culture of Kalari payattu & Kalari marma. It's clear that they care deeply about the personal impact of the work. 10/10 recommend 🙂

5/5

A unique and deeply relaxing experience – highly recommended! I had two different types of massages, each using a distinct technique, and both were outstanding. This isn’t a typical spa – treatments take place in the warm, intimate setting of the owners’ home, which adds a special personal touch. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the therapists are professional, attentive, and skilled. If you’re looking for a massage that combines expert care with a family-like experience – this is the place.

5/5

Ojaswi in Varkala felt so special – the massage was super traditional and left us feeling amazing. There’s something really calming about how they do things, it’s not like your usual spa. Aparna and Jacob - the hosts are the kindest, you instantly feel at home. We even got to try Kalaripayattu – taught the old-school way, which was super cool. Definitely one of those wholesome, heartwarming experiences you’ll remember.

5/5

A truly life-changing experience. I had been struggling with muscle pain in my leg for over six months. I kept postponing treatment because I had no idea how it could be healed. Coming to this place felt truly meant to be. They did a proper diagnosis and, incredibly, after just two sessions, the muscle knot that had formed was gone. I was honestly amazed! The physiotherapist who worked with me is a true professional. He clearly explained the root of the problem and carefully worked through it with great dedication. On top of that, the owners of the place are absolutely lovely people - they recommended some amazing spots around Varkala, shared useful contacts, and just created a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. Wishing this beautiful business all the success and prosperity it deserves!

5/5

I went to this place for my shoulder pain, which I had for almost a year. I took a 3-day treatment, and to my surprise, the pain was completely gone! It's been some time now, and I still feel relaxed and pain-free. The guru(Mr Abhijith) is truly amazing. The place is very peaceful, and the staff are so friendly and caring—you feel like you're with family, not in a treatment center. Highly recommended!
