Classical Hatha Yoga 

Special event: Lecture on Hatha Yoga purification methods

Kriyas, the purification methods, are no less important in Hatha Yoga, than asanas. Unfortunately, these methods are rarely practiced in Europe and the US. The lecturer studied purification methods in the Institute of Yoga in Lonavla, India and practices them for many years.

Although some of the purification methods require a lot of training and may be dangerous if the rules are not meticulously adhered to, there are simple, safe, and suitable to everybody methods, bringing tremendous health benefits and alleviating suffering.

We will discuss the following purification methods:

• Kapalabhati - purification of the blood with a special breathing technique.
• Trataka - eye purification.
• Jala Neti and Sutra Neti - nasal cleansing.
• Kunjal Kriya - stomach cleaning with water.
• Vastra Dhauti - stomach cleaning with a cotton gauze.
• Shankhaprakshalana - complete cleaning of the entire alimentary canal.

A demonstration of Jala Neti, Sutra Neti, and Vastra Dhauti will take place.

Attendance fee 10 fr. Lecture together with the potluck party 20 fr. Advanced reservation is requested.
