Quick Guide To Yoga Kriyas For Cleansing And Purification

Yoga is a holistic science for no reason. It does have the best techniques to cleanse your mind as well as the body. A human being, who is clean from within can only master the mind and soul and connect all of them. You have to understand, that if your body is unclean, the energies cannot work towards higher consciousness. That is where the Satkarma Kriyas come in. You will learn about the Satkarma kriyas or cleansing/ purification techniques while doing the Yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.

Hatha Yoga consists of the best cleansing and purification techniques, that can give you a new leash of life. The techniques are easily grouped into six categories. Hence the name ‘Shat’.  Here ‘Karma’ means the act or kriya. You will find all the procedures mentioned in Gheranda Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The six Satkarma Kriyas include Basti, Neti, Trataka, Kapalbhati, Dhouti, and Nauli. Each one of these stress the cleansing and purification of a certain body part. Let us throw some light on all these kriyas.

Yoga Kriyas for Cleansing and Purification

Before you set out to perform these kriyas, it is essential that you switch to a holistic diet, that comprises Sattvic food and lots of water. You should also exercise regularly, as a fit body can only help you to navigate towards a healthy mind.

Neti – It is the first one that you will learn about today. It involves cleaning the upper respiratory tract. You also purify the nostrils and nasal passage, while doing this yogic practice. Neti is of two types mainly – Jal Neti and Sutra Neti. In Jal Neti, you need a Neti pot, warm and salted water, and a cloth. You need to pour the water through one nostril and release it through the other. It helps to purify the entire channel. If you are suffering from a cold and cough, you tend to get instant relief. In Sutra Neti, you need to insert a thread through one nostril at a time and bring it out through the mouth. In this process, all the residual mucous in the passage is pulled out. The muscular tension also gets released and so does stress. You will also find a youthful glow emanating from your face. The process also helps to remove all types of mental congestion. You will learn about this in detail in the 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.

Trataka – It is an eye exercise, that can solve many of your eye problems. It also promotes good eyesight. You have to freeze your vision either on one point or object, or a flame. You have to stare at the same, continuously, until tears start coming out of your eyes. The tears can help in clearing your eyes and also leads to the removal of toxins.

Nauli – It is another essential kriya, that involves the massage of the abdominal organs. You have to practice a series of contractions and expansions, to be able to bring the desired effect. It also tones the abdomen. If you have digestive issues, this kriya will solve it completely.

Basti – You can understand it in a better manner if it is referred to as Enema. The pelvic zone and the bladder get all the benefits from the Kriya. The muscles of the lower abdomen get cleansed. You can practice this only under the guidance of a yoga expert. In this kriya, you need to such in water inside the stomach, or intestines through the anus. Later you can release it.

Dhouti – It is another Satkarma kriya that cleanses the upper digestive tract, and the respiratory tract and also affects the frontal brain function. Dhouti is of various types – like Viagra Dhouti, Nal Dhouti, and Vaman Dhouti. In this practice, you need to swallow warm and salted water, early in the morning and vomit it, through various means. You can also discard all the undigested food and mucous from your upper respiratory tract, through this Kriya.

Kapalbhati – This is another important Satkarma and also a Pranayama. You can also hear the name ‘Skull shining’ associated with this kriya. It enhances the capacity of your lungs and also aids in digestion. The process consists of breathing patterns, in which the exhalation happens to be more forceful than the inhalation. You can learn about this is the 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh. Kapalbhati also increases your metabolic rate. Moreover, it also clears the nadis. So, you may also get to experience divine sights and sounds.

These are the Satkarma kriyas or body-mind cleansing techniques that can give your existence a new meaning and life. Regular practice can help you get one step closer to your journey toward salvation or nirvana. So, learn these under the aegis of a learned yoga expert and practice for a lifetime.

This was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had in my entire life. I did the 200 hour yoga teacher training course during the month of December. Living Yoga School is located on the top of a hill from which you can enjoy the view of beautiful mountains (perfect for meditation especially at sunrise/sunset). The entire staffs are so friendly, helpful and approachable. The teachers are simply amazing and so knowledgeable! I felt part of the family from the very beginning. I would sincerely recommend coming here not only for teacher training course but also to live an experience that will change your life! I cannot wait to join for the 300 hour yoga instructor coaching course! You guys are the best! See you soon!

Rosy300 Hour YTTC

I did my 200 hour and 300 hour yoga teacher training course in Rishikesh at Living Yoga School. Very good experience during my stay. Rooms, accommodation, food and view from the top are excellent. Most experienced teachers in this school. It is the best place to become yoga instructor. If anyone wants to seek the knowledge of yoga, I recommend them to join Living Yoga School.

Sophia200 Hour Kundalini YTTC

I choose Living Yoga School because it was because it was in Rishikesh the yoga capital of the world and it's quite a peaceful little town, none of the chaos and scary atmosphere that people warn me about in India. I was able to walk by myself on the streets and nothing ever happened, I always felt safe during my stay.

Emma200 Hour YTTC

I choose the school was because of its complete schedule. Not only focused on yoga but also Pranayama, mediation, anatomy, mantra chanting and ayurveda. All these classes packed into 3 weeks of intense studying and yoga practicing which made me feel I got much more than what I paid for. If you are looking for a complete course this is the one I recommend.

Isabella200 Hour YTTC

I recommend Living Yoga School for 200 hour holistic yoga course. My teachers were for the most part very dedicated and passionate, really caring about us as students. It was difficult to get up early every morning but because classes were so interesting and the teacher so passionate I got up early everyday because I didn't want to miss a thing.

Olivia200 Hour Yoga TTC

Trusted yoga teacher training center in Rishikesh. The school also arrange certain outdoor activities; they took us to Kunjapuri temple, a meditation cave and to witness ceremonies in the Ganga River. All truly beautiful and amazing experiences that I really enjoyed.

Ava300 Hour YTTC

Living Yoga School is best School of Yoga in Rishikesh. It certainly changed my life and of course improved my yoga skills too, I now feel like I can do yoga poses I thought were impossible for me and I just stayed there one month!

Abigail200 Hour Kundalini YTTC

Best Yoga School in Rishikesh, Overall, I really enjoyed my stay in Living Yoga School it became my home away from home and I definitely want to someday come back to do 300 hours more.

Carmen200 Hour YTTC

The 200h YTT Course with Living Yoga School has been much more then expected at all levels. I want to say a big THANK YOU to the whole team, thank you to Guruji for opening the whole world of the Himalayan tradition of Yoga to us, the fantastic philosophy classes and meditation teachings, the connection and support I could feel. Thank you so much to Devesh for being such a competent, supportive and motivating teacher, for sharing not only hatha yoga and alignment knowledge but also knowledge of life and for sharing with us what really means to be a good yoga teacher. I can´t wait to go to Rishikesh and learn with them in person. In this almost 2 months process I started to see clearer into myself and make some important changes in my everyday life, developing more awareness, focus, discipline and joy. I was at first sceptical about an online format, but since the beginning I was really impressed with the online live teaching, the communication, the way everyone was supportive and experienced as well as the quality of the recorded material: so much knowledge and everything so well explained. I could write much more about how inspiring the whole experience was and how much will positivly influence my practice and the understanding of myself. I recommend this School to everyone!
