About Elliott
Elliott Treves – Kalaripayattu Practitioner & Instructor Originally from California, Elliott is a dedicated Kalaripayattu practitioner, teacher, and lifelong student of movement and inner well-being. His journey with Kalaripayattu began in 2017, and over time, the practice has transformed his life in profound ways. Elliott has traveled extensively across Australia to train and study under his teacher and Guru, Lalita, who comes from the lineage of Sat Guru Hanuman Das, the founder of the Kalariyil Dharmikam Ashram in Kerala. With a background in yoga, meditation, sound healing, and music, Elliott sees Kalaripayattu as more than just a martial art—it is a dynamic path of self-discovery, discipline, and realizing one's potential. His approach integrates traditional Kalari practices, wisdom, and combat sequences with ways to harness inner strength and explore human potential. Passionate about holistic well-being, Elliott is committed to helping students develop focus, resilience, and harmony in their lives. Through dedicated practice, he believes that movement, meditation, and intention can be powerful tools for transformation, both on and off the training floor.

My Approach to Teaching Kalaripayattu:
My classes are rooted in traditional South Indian martial arts training, with a deep respect for the physical, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of Kalaripayattu. I teach with an emphasis on awareness, discipline, and inner connection — helping students develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and presence through structured movement and breath.
My methodology combines dynamic warm-ups, foundational stances (vadivu), strikes, sequences (chuvadu), and animal forms, adapted to each student’s level and pace. I guide students with attentiveness and care, blending precision with encouragement, while making space for self-inquiry and reflection.
Lesson Format:
A typical class is 60–90 minutes and includes warm-ups, movement training, and time for integration or questions. I offer both in-person and online instruction.
Qualifications and Experience:
I’ve trained under Guru Lalita, a direct disciple of Sat Guru Hanuman Das of the Kalariyil Dharmikam Ashram in Kerala. With a background in classical yoga, meditation, and sound healing, I bring a holistic approach to the practice. Teaching Kalaripayattu fulfills a lifelong dream and I am passionate about sharing its wisdom with integrity and heart.
Who Are My Lessons For:
My classes are open to all levels — from complete beginners to those with prior martial arts or movement experience. Adults and teens (ages 14+) are welcome. Whether you’re looking to build strength, deepen your body awareness, or explore this ancient tradition, you’re invited to train with me.

Elliott is amazing, i've participated in a few of his events. He is really invested in his work, will pour in his whole heart, and i wouldn't hesitate a second to hire him as a tutor thank you for being you!
Hi. I have many dealings with Elliott both professionally and personally. He is a
wonderful person that has excellent people skills. Elliott is patient, kind and an exceptional communicator. He recently ran a sound healing event for my work place, that was a great success.

I know he has been teaching for at least a decade.. has produced multiple albums.. is well respected in the field..
And yet he continues to work, grow and evolve. As a mentor in one’s journey with musicianship, self- discovery-through-music and just outright primal flow, Elliott is a unique and rare being..Elliott is an amazing person, talented in many areas, and incredibly empathetic and kind. His passion for music shines through, and he approaches drumming not just technically, but as a way to connect with yourself and express emotions through rhythm. Knowing him as a meditation guide and seeing how he communicates with others, I’m certain that having him as a teacher would be a gift. He creates a welcoming, attentive space, so lessons with him would help elevate your skills, build confidence, and provide a safe space in your daily life.
