People in today's world are very careful to clean the outside of their bodies. In yoga, cleaning the inside of the body is also considered important. Yoga cleansing helps clean and detoxify the inward parts of our body, like the digestive system and the airways. Some of the benefits of cleansing yoga include:
  • It eliminates toxins
  • It builds resistance to disease
  • It sharpens the mind
  • It washes the parts of the body that would otherwise not be washed (like the digestive system, the sinus and the airways)
  • It increases vital capacity
  • It improves awareness of the body.
Caution
This article describes some of the yoga cleansing postures and processes. However, it is not meant to be used in order to perform these yoga cleansing postures and processes. Yoga cleansing should be done under the instruction of a qualified teacher. In some cases (such as Basti) it should only be done by a trained practitioner. If you would feel that you would benefit from yoga cleansing practices, then you should contact a yoga school or instructor who can train you in the use of yoga cleansing.

Cleansing yoga postures and rituals can be of great benefit to people in the western world, who consume and breathe in many toxins in their everyday lives. They can help restore natural balance to the body, mind and spirit and promote good health. However, yoga cleansing should be done under the advice of a trained practitioner. Once you learn how to perform yoga cleansing, you will be able to continue by yourself.
