Why "Kasrat"?
It means "exercise" and "abundance.", but to us, it also loosely translates to "tightening the screws." Our bodies need to be able to withstand grander forces and stay connected to primal movement patterns. The only way to do this is to embody an abundant approach to exercise rather than the sweaty, tiring, injury-prone mishmash of information.
Our objective is to create movement diets suited for your body that best facilitate day-to-day functional living. With the right mix of basic mobility and reconditioning of well-researched mechanics, we hope to ignite a spark of redefining healthy movement for you and unlearning the illusions of our comfort.

The Ancient Strength Camp at Kasrat Shala was a fitness journey like no other. From learning the vinyasa yoga flow to mastering rotational movements and close combative drills, each day brought new insights into functional strength. Veer's teaching approach was thoughtful and precise, making the complex movements easy to understand. The location in the hills of Himachal was the perfect backdrop for this experience. Being surrounded by nature, with breathtaking views of the mountains, added an almost meditative quality to the training sessions. Waking up each morning to the crisp, fresh air and starting the day with dynamic movements in this peaceful environment was invigorating. The balance of ancient strength training and natural beauty made this camp an unforgettable experience.
Kasrat Shala’s Ancient Strength Camp was an unforgettable experience. The camp offered a perfect mix of traditional training with modern biomechanics, teaching us the Filipino martial arts and rotational training. Coaching cues was professional and detailed, ensuring we understood both the technique and the history behind these ancient practices. On top of that, the location in Himachal Pradesh was magical. Set amidst lush greenery and towering mountains, the peaceful environment helped me connect not only to my body but also to the earth. The mornings, filled with fresh mountain air and incredible views, gave me a sense of calm and focus I’ve never experienced before in a fitness camp. This isn’t just a camp—it’s a retreat that strengthens your body and soul.
The Movement Mechanics Camp at Kasrat Shala was one of the most comprehensive training experiences I’ve had. Their deep understanding of biomechanics and functional movement helped me improve my posture and overall fitness performance. The use of traditional Indian training tools like the Gada and Mudgar made the sessions dynamic and challenging. But beyond the training, what made this camp stand out was its incredible location. Set in the pristine hills of Himachal Pradesh, the natural beauty of the surroundings added a unique energy to the whole experience. Training in such a serene and peaceful environment allowed me to focus not just on my body but also on my mental well-being. The combination of ancient strength techniques and the calming power of nature made this camp truly transformative.
As a Corporate Marketing and Channel Head, my schedule is often hectic, but the camp at Kasrat Shala provided the perfect balance of relaxation and physical challenge. I learned various forms of physical arts, from Kasrat to Vinyasa yoga, in a fun, engaging way that made each session enjoyable. The hands-on approach to understanding the importance of functional strength, flexibility, and body mechanics was truly eye-opening. I was particularly impressed with how traditional Indian practices like Gada training were combined with modern techniques to create a holistic experience.
The camp’s location in the beautiful hills of Himachal Pradesh was a huge highlight. Training in the fresh mountain air surrounded by stunning landscapes made it easy to disconnect from my usual stresses and reconnect with myself. Each day felt like a perfect blend of physical challenge and mental relaxation. I left the camp feeling not only stronger and fitter but also more centered and refreshed. This camp is a must for professionals looking to combine fitness with personal well-being in a serene setting!"
As a martial arts instructor, attending the camp at Kasrat Shala was an eye-opening experience. The combination of Vinyasa yoga, Kasrat, and in-depth biomechanics sessions gave me a holistic understanding of movement, strength, and injury prevention. Learning the traditional Kasrat tools like the Gada added a unique strength element to my routine, while the biomechanics teachings helped me break down movement patterns in a way that improves both my practice and my teaching. The focus on injury prevention and safe progression was especially valuable, giving me the tools to not only train more effectively but also ensure my students can progress without risking injury.
The peaceful setting in Himachal Pradesh enhanced the entire experience, allowing me to focus fully on learning and self-improvement. Kasrat Shala’s approach to teaching was thorough, combining technical detail with practical application, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of safe practice. I left the camp with new skills, more body awareness, and a renewed approach to teaching martial arts, incorporating injury prevention and mindful progression into my classes. I highly recommend this camp to martial artists looking to refine their training and teaching methods.
Being someone who is into corporate and having erratic working hours, constantly sitting in front of the laptops, I was looking to associate with someone with whom I can train from anywhere (Home, outdoors, while traveling ) and who doesn't let exercising feel like a punishment. And that's when, Kasratshala happened to me which has been my best experience ever.
The trainers - Veer, Karam & Claire are someone who guide each of their students, watch them closely and whenever needed correct the students form (even in the group class). What I like about them is that they stand for movement and just not one form of exercise(s) enabling everyone (every age group, body type, career etc) to let their body move. They focus on basic fundamentals of movement which many trainers do not even touch base upon and that's what I love about them.
From not knowing that I wasn't standing correctly to now being able to; with Kasratshala I have come a long way. It's a life time association with them. I highly recommend everyone to just come once 🙂
As a movement artist and surfing instructor, attending the camp at Kasrat Shala was an incredible experience. The blend of Vinyasa yoga, Kasrat, and PTK Kali movement helped me refine my body awareness in ways I hadn’t experienced before. Through detailed posture corrections and small adjustments in my movement, I was able to fix long-standing imbalances that improved both my practice and my surfing. Learning the traditional Kasrat tools and Kali footwork added a whole new dimension to my movement training, blending strength, fluidity, and coordination.
The natural surroundings in the Himachal Pradesh mountains made every session feel refreshing and connected to nature. The structure of the camp allowed for a perfect balance of challenging movement and mindful recovery, keeping the experience both productive and enjoyable. I left feeling not only physically stronger but more grounded and mindful in my movements, with new insights to incorporate into my teaching and personal practice."*
Attending the Movement Mechanics Camp was an eye-opening experience for me as a photographer. I learned essential techniques for standing and walking correctly, which have significantly improved my posture and efficiency behind the camera. The breathing exercises we practiced were equally transformative, helping me cultivate calmness and focus. Surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, I found inspiration for my photography while also enjoying the refreshing connection to nature.
The entire team was outstanding, providing exceptional service and support throughout the camp. Their genuine passion for movement and wellness fostered an encouraging atmosphere that made everyone feel welcomed. The camaraderie among participants created a sense of community that I truly appreciated. I left the camp feeling rejuvenated and equipped with valuable tools to enhance my practice, and I can’t wait to return for another enriching experience!
