Yogic Shat Kriya Therapy

At Revine Naturopathy, we believe in the holistic power of yoga to cleanse and rejuvenate the body and mind. One of the key practices we offer is Shat Kriya Therapy, also known as Shatkarma. This ancient yogic technique involves six cleansing processes that help eliminate toxins from the body, improve overall health, and prepare the body for deeper yoga practices.

What is Shatkarma or Yogic Shat Kriya?

Shatkarma, or the six cleansing processes, are essential practices in Hatha Yoga. These techniques are designed to clean different areas of the human body, ensuring it functions like a well-maintained machine. By removing toxins such as mucus, gas, acid, sweat, urine, and stool, Shatkarma helps improve the body’s overall functioning. These practices also prepare the body for yogasana (yoga poses) and pranayama (breath control exercises).

The Six Shat Kriyas

At Revine Naturopathy, we guide our patients through the six Shat Kriyas, each targeting a specific area of the body:

1. Dhauti: This is the cleansing of the mouth and food pipe. It helps remove toxins and impurities from the digestive system, promoting better digestion and overall health.

2. Basti: This involves cleansing the large intestine (lower abdomen). It is similar to an enema and helps flush out toxins from the digestive tract.

3. Neti: This is the cleansing of the nasal passages. Using a special pot, warm saline water is poured through one nostril and exits through the other, clearing out mucus and impurities.

4. Nauli: This practice strengthens the abdominal organs. It involves a series of movements that massage and tone the abdominal muscles and organs.

5. Trataka: This is the purification of the eyes. By focusing on a single point, such as a candle flame, the eyes are cleansed and vision is improved.

6. Kapalbhati: This involves cleansing the frontal area of the brain. Through forceful exhalations and passive inhalations, Kapalbhati helps remove mental and physical toxins.

Benefits of Practicing Yogic Shatkriya

When you practice Yogic Shatkriya at Revine Naturopathy, you can expect a range of benefits for your body and mind:

• Health and Wellness: Shatkriya focuses on detoxifying the body. It can improve digestion, circulation, and respiratory function. The practices also help reduce stress and promote relaxation, leading to better overall health.
• Flexibility and Strength: The stretching and twisting movements involved in Shatkriya help increase flexibility and range of motion. The strengthening exercises build muscle strength, making your body more resilient and robust.
• Mental Health: Breath work and meditation are integral parts of Shatkriya. These practices improve focus, concentration, and mental clarity. Meditation promotes calmness and peace of mind, helping to reduce anxiety and stress.
• Reduce Stress Levels: Shatkriya includes breathing exercises and mantra chanting. These activities calm the mind and body, helping to lower stress levels and promote mental well-being.
• Improve Sleep Quality: The relaxation techniques in Shatkriya, especially the breathing exercises, help promote better sleep. By calming the mind, these practices can lead to deeper, more restful sleep.
• Boost Energy Levels: The breathing exercises in Shatkriya help oxygenate the blood, giving you more energy. This can make you feel more vibrant and ready to take on the day.
