Description

The Autumn practices of ‘Shankhaprakshalana, Laghoo Shankhaprakshalana, Kunjal & Jala Neti’ will be done here as usual at The Yoga Room, Otterbourne House, Chobham Road, Ottershaw, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 0QF, this year on Saturday 17th October.

This is an important part of yoga practice but must never be done without guidance or without a teacher. It is also suitable for both yoga teachers and those Yogis and Yoginis who are not teachers but who want to experience the power of these practices. The advice to yogis is to do this practice twice a year, once in Spring and once in Autumn.

If you have never done Shankhaprakshalana before then you will only be able to do the short practice of Lahgoo. You do need to make me aware of any medical conditions.

If you wish to perform the full Shakaprakshalana then you must agree to undertake and keep to the strict diet necessary for a month after the practice. There is no such diet needed for the shorter practice of Laghoo Shankhaprakshalana and you will be able to return to your normal eating and drinking almost immediately!!
The day will start at promptly 8.30am.

You must be here by 8.00am at the latest.

You MUST NOT eat or drink anything except sips of water beforehand. The designated asanas will be performed for Shankhaprakshalana or Laghoo.

Afterwards students will have a short rest before completing the practice with Kunjal followed by Jala Neti. Another rest needs to follow before eating a bowl of kitcheree which will be provided.

If you have never done any of these practices you do need to understand the commitment that you will be making to both the practice and the diet.

The asanas that you need to perform are simple and you will be given a handout before you come to the day, but you do need to learn them beforehand – you will not be taught them on the day.

A diet sheet will also be emailed to you if you are doing the full Shankhaprakshalana.

Do not hesitate to ring me on the landline 01932 872587 if you are thinking of doing the practice, have questions or need to find anything out about doing the practice.

You will be thoroughly looked after on the day, nurtured and taken care of. These are truly great practices to experience and you will feel wonderful, totally refreshed and invigorated after the practice.

If you don’t have a Jala Neti Lota and need to buy one on the day, (£10.00 for a small travel neti lota), please make it known at the time of booking – or you can purchase a nose buddy on line on Amazon to bring with you (which I would recommend).

The cost of this day is £75.00.

Booking is essential as there are places for 7 – 8 people only.
