Shatkarma is a cleansing technique that consists of six yogic purity kriyas (or actions), which are also mentioned in ancient texts of yoga. Its other name is Shatkriya. Through these six actions, the entire human body is purified. The class of Shatkarma gives a detailed description of all the six kriyas namely, Dhauti, Basti, Neti, Trataka, Nauli, and Kapalbhati. Shatkarma involves the sanctification of a body in the early morning in association with the practices of various Asana.

  • Kapalbhati (Cleansing the lungs)
  • Dhauti (Vomitting practice)

Food: Sattvic & Healthy

What we eat, not only influences our physical well-being, but also our emotions and thoughts. Yoga does not dissect food into proteins, carbohydrates or fats, instead, it classifies them according to the effect they have on the body and mind, into three types. – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas

  • Sattvic Food Is The Kind That Makes You Feel Energetic & Enthusiastic.
  • Rajasic Food Is That Which Brings About Activity Or Restlessness.
  • Tamasic Food Is The Kind Of Food That Makes Us Lethargic Or Sluggish.
