Intestinal Yogic Cleanse
Sun 6 Apr 2025 10am – 12pm on Zoom
Join me at the end of March for your yearly intenstinal spring cleanse! The yogis believed that the practice of yoga should start with a full body cleanse. On the inside as well as the outside.
The practice is called Shankha Prakshalana which translates along the lines of washing completely your ‘conch’, i.e. the stomach and intestines.
Springtime is the best season to give your body a spring clean and this antient method uses only clean water, salt and a series of easy postures to help stimulate your peristaltic and cleanse the gut from old toxic accumulations and impurities.
This Kriya (cleansing practice) has immense healing powers as it purifies the body and acts like a full body reset. It will give your system a fresh new start, increase your vitality and possibly alleviate conditions such as allergies, skin problems, digestive disorders, insomnia and more.
This two hour workshop should be accessible for all ages and levels of fitness, it is safe and effortless and leaves you feeling light and cleansed! It involves the intake of saline water followed by series of easy postures. The cycle repeats until the entire digestive tract is fully cleansed.
Full guidance during the practice will be provided as well as derailed pre-workshop and post-workshop instructions.
As per Yoga & Ayurveda, if your intestine is upset, your life will be upset because of the secrets of the physical health that reside in the large intestine. One of the main causes of various diseases and senility is the accumulation of toxins in the body by autointoxication. Old age is a consequence of the slow and progressive intoxication of the body due to insufficient evacuation of waste to the outside.

Kichadi Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup mung dahl
- 1 cup rice
- Cow’s ghee butter (clarified butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin seeds
METHOD:
- Soak the mung dahl and rice for 2 hours or overnight.
- Wash/rinse ingredients well after soaking.
- Boil in 6 cups of water adding the turmeric and cumin seeds over a low flame for 30 mins-1hour. When it begins to boil, turn the mixture down to simmer and turn off flame when mixture is soft and little liquid remains. No salt is to be added!

THE METHOD
The Yogis of the ancient times gifted us with this great method of cleansing toxins from the body called Shankha Prakshalana. Shankh means conch that resembles the coiled shape of the bowels, and Prakshalana means cleaning.
For the cleansing, 3 – 5 litres of lukewarm saline water is used. The intake of large amounts of warm saline water (of the same pH as the blood), followed by simple yogic postures, forces the fermentations and sediments from the intestinal walls to be washed out through the rectum.
The sequence of intake of water and performance of the specific yogic asana is repeated until clear water is released from the bowels.
POST PRACTICE CARE
The following steps are to be followed closely by the participants to complete the practice safely.
– After full evacuation, clean water should be coming out of the colon, please rest in bed lying on your back for 45 mins. Try to maintain silence. During this time the digestive tract is in a mode of recovery and will be recharging itself.
Then eat a specially prepared meal (Kichadi) containing rice, mung dahl and ghee. The food is to be taken straight after the rest, filling up your stomach sufficiently – this will help to line up and lift up the intestinal walls.
– First intake of water can happen 30 mins after food is consumed
– Rest for another three hours however avoid sleeping as this can cause a cold, headache or lethargy.
– Second meal is to be taken 3-6 hours after the first. You can either consume more kichadi or eat a simple meal avoiding any dairy products, raw fruit and veg; avoid acid foods and drinks on that day.
– No physical exercise including Yoga is to be practiced for the next 24 hours, only mild activities on that day. Take plenty of rest!
