Description

The Autumn practices of  ‘Shankhaprakshalana, Laghoo Shankhaprakshalana, Kunjal & Jala Neti’  will be carried out as usual at The Yoga Room.

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 aren’t 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 undertake to keep to the strict diet necessary for a month after the practice.  No such diet is needed for the shorter practice of Laghoo Shankhaprakshalana and you will be able to return to your normal eating and drinking almost immediately.

You MUST NOT eat anything before arriving for the practice.  The designated asanas will be performed for Shankhaprakshalana or Laghoo and details of these will be passed to you once you have confirmed your booking and ahead of the day.  

After the practice 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.  

For questions or enquiries please contact Swamiji on the landline number 01932 872587. 

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 to bring with you.

The cost of this day is  £70.00.  

Booking essential as there are places for 9 – 10 attendees only.

Please let me know if you are wanting to do this practice preferably by WattsApp on:

07941 453466 or you can phone me on 01932 872587 or send an email to satvikananda@theyogaroom.plus.com

My personal experience of the practice from March 2024 by Simi

Swamiji and the helpers were amazing and I felt comfortable, safe and supported during a practice that may bring up a mixture of emotions and vulnerabilities for many. 

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 especially the full Shankhaprakshalana. 

It does also have many wonderful benefits such as: digestive tract detoxification, relief from constipation and bloating, potential improvements in skin conditions and metabolic disorders. I also felt calmer, had a clearer mind and increased energy levels. The practice also helped reduce the feeling of heaviness within my body.
