Kriyas - RK Nature

Kriyas are a set of cleansing practices in yoga used to purify the mind and physical body.

There are six types of Yogic kriyas.

Kapalabhathi (cranial cleansing)
Trataka
Neti
Dhouthi
Nauli
Vasti.

These kriyas helps to cleanse the metabolic wastes from the body which at times the body fails to eliminate naturally. According to Hata Yoga this cleansing can bring harmony in the flow of energy and bring balance in three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. According to Naturopathy, imbalance in three doshas and accumulation of toxins can cause ailments. Practice of Kriyas before pranayama thereby helps to prevent and cure diseases.

Lagu Shanka Prakshalana

( Lagu – less, Shanka – conch, Prakshalana – Cleansing)

The body is compared to a conch and is cleansed from mouth to anus with the help of saline water. Here the water used is lesser than the actual Shanka Prakshalana procedure; hence it’s called Lagu (lesser water). As this practice cleans the entire digestive tract it helps to improve the digestion, absorption and overall metabolism.
