In yoga, ‘Kriyas’ mean specific cleansing exercises to move and awaken the body and spirit to prepare for movement and meditation.

The Sanskrit word kriya translates to action or effort, and kriya yoga is often called the ‘Yoga of Action or Purification’. Each practice helps to cleanse the body and reduce common ailments and illnesses. Other benefits include boosting energy levels and stimulating digestion.

In this session, you can expect to practise common cleansing and breathwork techniques like kapala bhati and nauli, followed by pranayama like alternate nostril breathing, ending off with a restorative and meditative practice to cultivate stillness and compassion.

Suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant or have high blood pressure, please speak with the teacher for a further discussion on how the practice can be modified to suit you.
