200hr Kriyas or Shat Karmas

Please read through the lesson on Kriyas or Shat Karmas in the SOYA Teacher Training Manual.

Shat is six, and karma is action. There are six main cleansing actions or cleansing kriyas. These hygienic duties are discussed in three ancient yoga texts – the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Siva Samhita and Gheranda Samhita. These duties are used to ensure the body is kept in harmony and balance as much as possible. The kriyas assist in the removal of toxic and waste materials from the body and improve overall health.
