This course is wonderful combination of two rare but the most effective practices taught in Isha Hatha. They are Jala Neti and Bhastrika Kriya. This combination have a significant impact on the efficiency of the respiratory system and breathing in general but goes beyond this too.

The breath is seen as the most fundamental system as this is essentially what keeps you alive. So it the quality of your breathing essentially has a massive impact on the quality of your life. Especially living a fast paced life in a city we take our breath for granted as the human mechanism allows us to breath without thinking but there is a way of treating this function within our system.

Especially if you have any respiratory allergies such as ‘hay fever’ or ‘rhinitis’ then this course is a must with many students having relived severe symptoms of these issues.

What is Jala Neti?

Today many people describe Jala Neti as a cleansing process for the nasal passages to remove mucus. Whilst it is true that Jala Neti is a very effective cleansing process, it is much more than that. Jala Neti has been practiced by yogis for millennia as a process of looking after the whole system and not just the sinuses.  The human respiratory system is very closely connected with the neurological system and also the energy system. So that's why in the yogic system many more benefits are described but only if it is practiced properly.

Jala Neti can dramatically improve your physical and psychological health as well as bringing an incredible sense of ease in your yogic or other spiritual practice. In many ways it serves as a perfect preparation for one’s daily practice of hatha yoga. 

During the class we will be teaching the proper way to practice Jala Neti. It is a delicate process, which if done improperly can either reduce the benefit or can even cause irreparable damage. Each participant has the opportunity receive their own Jala Neti pot. This pot has been designed by Sadhguru and made of copper to maximise the benefits of the practice. If you already have this pot then you can just book for the class without the pot.

Isha Bhastrika Kriya

  • Increases Lung capacity

  • Purifies the blood (also has an impact on how you breathe)

  • Deep state of relaxation to the point of lowering number of breathes

  • Helps to relieve respirator diseases such as Asthma, Sinusitis and other allergies

  • Can help to relieve Diabetes, Hormonal Imbalances, Skin diseases

What is Bhastrika Kriya?

Bhastrika Kriya is a yogic process which has an immediate impact on the respiratory system. It reduces the need for the number of breaths. The need for breath will not come down only by increasing lung capacity but because the oxygen consumption is low. The system is in such a relaxed state, the metabolism has come don. So this works in two ways: the expansion of the lung capacity; and the relaxing of the whole system. With both of these together, the need for breaths come down. 

This also has an impact on overall health too as well as assisting to improve other yoga practices in both Hatha and Kriya Yoga.
