Il paziente deve essere seduto in posizione meditativa con la testa e la colonna vertebrale erette e il corpo rilassato. Il paziente deve chiudere una narice (ad esempio la sinistra se si usa la mano destra e viceversa) con il pollice ed espirare completamente attraverso l'altra narice. Di nuovo, dovrà inspirare profondamente attraverso l'altra narice mentre la narice opposta è ancora chiusa con il pollice.

The practices of shatkriya or yogic cleansing techniques purify the body and prevent digestive problems.
