Kriyas-Cleansing Technique

“Dhauti, basti, net, trataka, nauli and kapalbhati; these are known as shatkarma (or six cleansing processes).” - Hatha Yoga Pradipika 2.22

Purity of body encourages purity of the mind. Yoga has developed six cleansing techniques or "Shed Kriyas" for purification of the physical body. Through these simple exercises, nature is assisted in the elimination of waste products and mucus. Many mental and physical ailments may be alleviated through the practice of kryas.
