Yoga to Detox and Cleanse Your Body

Let's learn an excellent Kundalini Yoga technique for cleansing your body of toxins and help you detoxify your entire system. This technique can be added to the end of any yoga set and should be done prior to the final relaxation period. As with all yoga techniques, don't overdo this exercise and build up your capacity slowly.

Even though this exercise is a little strange, I strongly suggest not to hold back and do it with full dedication and force. Remember all the wonderful benefits it is bestowing upon you.

Yoga Exercise to Detoxify & Cleanse:

a. Practice Instructions:

* Sit up on your heels in Rock pose. Rock pose is when you sit back on your heels with your back straight, except for this technique lean forward slightly and rest your hands on your knees.

* Now open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out as far as it will go. Now begin to pant like a dog. Remember what I said above and don't hold back. All the breathing should be taking place through the mouth.

* Emphasize the exhalation, and with every exhalation your stomach should be contacting in towards your spine sharply. The pace should be fast, just like a tired dog panting.

* If you feel a metallic taste emerging on the back of your tongue, this is toxic heavy metals being release and cleansed from deep within your tissue, keep going!

b. Duration:

* Start with 15 seconds and slowly build up to 5 minutes.

c. Benefits:

* Detoxifies and cleanses your system of garbage, toxins and heavy metals. * Strengthens and tones your abdominal muscles. * Builds your respiratory capacity. * Promotes good health and longevity.

d. Practice Tips:

* Like I mentioned above, you can add this exercise to the end of any Yoga set. It helps your system purge itself of any toxins that have been released into the blood stream as a result of the set.

* After doing this cleansing exercise, I also recommend drinking plenty of water once your yoga session is completed, to further help wash out any released toxins.

* Given the amount of pollution in our air and water, we can't afford not to incorporate this powerful technique into our routine from time to time. It will really help detoxify and cleanse your entire body.
