Shatkarmas are a part of Hatha Yoga. ‘Shat’ means six, and karma means ‘action’; hence traditionally they encompass six different types of purification practices. Shatkarmas help to harmonise and balance the energetic flows in the body and to purify the body of toxins on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
