The Cleansing Power of Yoga
A unique and informative book, featuring beautiful colourful illustrations, The Cleansing Power of Yoga offers readers a vast variety of holistic detox tools that can enable them to feel lighter, happier and healthier.
Kriyas, lesser-known yoga techniques, are designed to cleanse the body, mind, and emotions. In The Cleansing Power of Yoga, Swami Saradananda divides kriyas into six main categories, each with a specific aim:
• Clarifying your vision in life (sight)
• Enhancing communication skills (sound)
• Optimizing energy and allowing you to breathe more deeply (smell)
• Nourishing us and enhancing our capacity to ‘digest’ life (taste)
• Enhancing our connection with others (touch)
• Simplifying our life and filling it with sublime thoughts (mind)
Each chapter contains specific techniques relevant to optimal well-being in that area. Also included are routines for a wide range of conditions—from physical complaints such as headaches or tinnitus, to emotional ones such as sadness, guilt and anger.
I’m pleased to say that The Cleansing Power of Yoga is available world-wide and has been translated into French, German, Italian, Norwegian and Swedish.
Kriyas for health and well-being
Comments from readers
"Being a Teacher of Hatha Yoga for the past 8 years as well as making yoga a daily part of my life for the past 25 I can honestly say this book has many practices and instructions not usually found in the majority of the many yoga books on offer. It focuses on what the title suggests - some of the cleansing practices (in fact many) associated with the discipline of Hatha Yoga. Mudras, mantras, self-help, meditations, massage, postures and cleansing practices (as well as a lot more) are all discussed and beautifully presented with clarity and many photos. Its the beautiful colourful illustrations that really did it for me though. I hope to explore the writers other works in the near future. I highly recommend this book to aid you on your path towards a more enlightened Self."

"Swami Saradananda's book offers many techniques to cleanse your body and soul of stagnant energy. Through the use of Kriyas and other energetic exercises, one can cleanse their physical, astral, and causal bodies and the chakra system. The practices are clear, concise and practical. I especially enjoyed the Bee Breath which quiets inner chatter. I discovered that if used before meditation, my session was more profound. She teaches how the balance the Kapha, Vata and Pitta energy. Her teachings of Ayurvedic medicine is easy to understand and implement. The yoga exercises are easy to follow."
