What is Shatkarma in Yoga? Shatkarma in yoga refers to the six traditional cleansing techniques designed to purify the body and mind for deeper yogic practices. The term “Shat” means six and “Karma” means action, highlighting the six methods—Neti, Dhauti, Nauli, Basti, Kapalabhati, and Trataka. These techniques remove toxins, improve digestion, cleanse the respiratory system, and balance energy channels. By practicing Shatkarma in yoga, one prepares the body for pranayama, meditation, and higher spiritual practices, while also experiencing improved health, clarity, and inner harmony.
