A teacher from the Śrīkī Ashram, joined by assistants, explains the purpose and benefits of the six purification acts. The session features a detailed, practical demonstration of Jala Netī (nasal cleansing with salt water) and Kapāla Bhāti, followed by an introduction to Agni Sāra and the Naulī Kriyā for digestive health.
