100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India

At Rishikesh Yoga Institute, each day begins with Shatkarma, the traditional yogic detoxification practices designed to purify the body from within. Shatkarma—also known as Sat Karma—focuses on internal cleansing and prepares the body and mind for deeper yogic practices.

Our experienced teachers guide students step by step, explaining how to perform each cleansing technique safely, along with its purpose, benefits, and precautions. With years of practical teaching experience, our instructors make Shatkarma approachable and easy to understand, even for first-time practitioners.

Jal Neti – Jal Neti is a nasal cleansing technique using warm saline water and a neti pot, which is provided by the school. This practice helps clear nasal passages, improves breathing, and removes blockages caused by dust, pollution, or allergies.

Sutra Neti – Sutra Neti is a deeper nasal cleansing practice. Beginners are guided using a soft rubber catheter, while advanced practitioners may use a cotton thread. This technique strengthens the nasal passages and enhances respiratory health.

Trataka – Trataka is an eye-cleansing and concentration practice. Students learn both traditional techniques to improve eye health, focus, and mental clarity while preparing the mind for meditation.
