Kriya
Purification Practices
​

Yogic techniques for purification by bodily action are known as kriya. There are various kriya according to tradition. Here is a list of the classic Shatkriya, the six classic cleansing actions of Hatha Yoga, as well as related purification practices. Kundalini yoga defines kriya as spontaneous movements or yoga postures which occur from an increase of subtle energy and remove blockages. Kriya literally translates as action and in reference to Yoga a kriya is any exercise, technique, or event which removes obstacles to greater practice or stimulates healing.

Kapalabhati
Mind Clearing Pumping Breath

This type of breathing is one the greatest ways to clear your mind and prepare for other breathing or body practices. To start the abdomen is relaxed and is then contracted in a quick, light impulse making an exhalation. As the abdomen releases inhale occurs naturally. Repeat pumping the exhale. If the nose is blocked this can be done with the mouth, with a "sh" sound.

Agnisara
Fire Stoking Abdominal Wave

Agnisara is performed in a standing position. After emptying the lungs with a complete exhalation and bending over the abdomen is drawn up and pushed out in a wave. This stimulates and harnesses the fire element in us which enhances digestion, discrimination, and focus. Practice it in the morning before eating and not during menstruation or pregnancy.

Uddiyana Bandha and Nauli
Abdominal Lift, Isolation, and Churning

These techniques are for purification of the digestive and respiratory systems, most notably the intestines. The primary muscle movement from the transverse abdominis also is exercised in it's full range of motion and this has a great effect on your posture. Practice these exercises in the morning before eating and not during menstruation or pregnancy.
