Yoga Practice – Yoga with Ayush

by yogiayush, posted in Practice

JAL NETI — The purpose is cleansing, not forcing.

Jal Neti is one of the six traditional cleansing practices of Hatha Yoga, known as Shatkarma. It is practised by gently passing warm saline water through one nostril and allowing it to flow out through the other.

Traditionally, Jal Neti is practised in the morning, on an empty stomach, before Asana, Pranayama or meditation.

Why practise Jal Neti?

It is traditionally used to:

  • Cleanse the nasal passages
  • Support clearer and more comfortable nasal breathing
  • Remove accumulated mucus and impurities
  • Prepare the breath for Pranayama and meditation
  • Create a feeling of freshness and lightness
  • Develop awareness and sensitivity towards the breath

Beyond physical cleansing, Jal Neti teaches discipline, patience, awareness and respect for the body.

Practise gently and never force the water through a completely blocked nose. Use safe water, the correct saline preparation and clean equipment. After practice, dry the nasal passages properly.

Jal Neti is not simply about cleansing the nose.
It is about preparing the body and breath for deeper Yoga practice.

This traditional practice is also part of the Varanasi Experience — exploring Yoga beyond Asana through traditional practices, breath, awareness and the living spiritual culture of Varanasi.

Practice with awareness.
Learn with guidance.
Experience Yoga beyond Asana. 📿🕉️

YOGA KRIYA – JAL NETI

Jal Neti (Nasal Cleansing)


Jal Neti is a technique that was used by yogis to stay disease-free, and most importantly to use the breath well for their Yogic practices without any blockages. Just how brushing the teeth is dental hygiene, the practice of Jal Neti is nasal hygiene. This technique uses water to purify and clean the nasal path, right from the nostrils to the throat. Jal Neti is one of the six-purification procedures or ‘Shatkarmas’ mentioned in Hatha Yoga Pradeepika.

  • It is beneficial in dealing with asthmatic conditions and making breathing easier.
  • It helps abate sinusitis or migraine attack.
  • It can alleviate upper respiratory complaints like sore throats, tonsils, and dry coughs.
  • It can clear the eye ducts and improve vision.
  • Clearing of nasal passages helps improve the sense of smell and thereby improves digestion.
  • It calms the nervous system and the mind. It also helps relieve stress and brings clarity to the mind.
