Once known only to initiated healers and yogis, the rituals of yoga cleansing according to the six Shatkarmas offer energy, vitality, and strength to both body and mind, support healing processes, and promote health. The metabolic burden on the body is enormous: toxins, food chemicals, and medication residues are just some of the harmful substances that accumulate in the body and affect health. Yoga cleansing helps to eliminate these substances, leading to a long and vibrant life. Those who practice just a few cleansing exercises will purify both body and mind and gain more energy.
