Shat Kriyas in Yoga are six powerful purification techniques described in the Hatha Yoga tradition to cleanse and balance the body and mind. These practices—Neti (nasal cleansing), Dhauti (digestive tract cleansing), Nauli (abdominal massage), Basti (colon cleansing), Kapalabhati (frontal brain cleansing), and Trataka (concentration by gazing)—help remove toxins, improve digestion, enhance respiratory health, and sharpen mental focus. By eliminating physical and energetic blockages, Shat Kriyas prepare practitioners for deeper yogic practices like pranayama and meditation, making them an essential foundation for both physical well-being and spiritual growth.
