Dr. Vinayakuamr
Founder & Director, Dhanurveda
Carrying Forward a Generational Legacy of Kerala’s Healing Traditions
Dr. Vinayakumar, the Founder and Director of Dhanurveda, comes from the Makoram family, a lineage with a rich generational heritage in Kalari and Ayurvedic healing. Historical records trace the family’s practice back at least four generations. He received his foundational training in Kalarippayattu and traditional healing from his father, Balan Vaidyan, continuing a tradition of knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Driven by a deep passion for traditional healing and holistic well-being, Dr. Vinayakumar expanded his knowledge during his years of study, gaining expertise in Yoga, Siddha Vaidyam, Naturopathy and Acupuncture, alongside his traditional Kalari and Ayurvedic knowledge. Today, he brings together this diverse understanding of traditional wellness systems at Dhanurveda, with a commitment to preserving Kerala’s healing heritage and sharing its wisdom with people from around the world.
