Shat-Karma
Hatha yoga, as portrayed in the early Yoga Upanishads, was comprised
of the Shat-karmas. It is proved accurate and scientific. Shat represents
"six" and karma signifies 'action'; the Shat-karmas comprise of six
groups of cleansing practices. The point of hatha yoga and, in this
manner, of the Shat-karmas is to create harmony between the two
noteworthy Pranic streams, Ida and Pingala, along with achieving
physical and mental purity and wellbeing.

The Shat-karmas are additionally used to control the three Doshas or
humours in the body: Kapha, mucus; Pitta, bile; and Vata, wind. As per
both Ayurveda and Hatha yoga, unevenness in the Doshas will bring
about sickness. These practices are followed before pranayama and
other higher yoga rehearses with a specific end goal to filter the body of
impurities and to guarantee safe and effective advancement along the
spiritual path.
These effective strategies are never meant to be gained from books or
instructed by amateur people. As per the custom, just those taught by a

master may instruct others. It is fundamental to be personally trained in
the matter of how and when to practice the shat-karmas, taking into
account the limitations and requirements of the concerned individual.
In spite of the fact that the purification and reinforcing effects of shat-
karmas might be therapeutic, this is not their primary purpose. Shat-
karmas are practices to enhance the strength of yoga professionals and
to awaken and direct the energies in the body, mind and deeper mind.
Individuals experiencing any therapeutic condition, who wish to use any
of these practices, ought to look for the guidance of a skilled instructor.

Karuna Yoga Maha Vidya Peetham, yoga teacher training in Bangalore is
designed on the basis of such principles. The water used in these
practices should be pure. If necessary, use an ultraviolet filter or boil the
water for a few minutes and then allow it to cool to the required
temperature.
