Bhuta Shuddhi
The purification of the five elements (earth, water, wind, fire, space) within the human system. The basis of all yoga.

About This Practice
Bhuta Shuddhi means 'purification of the elements.' The system of yoga recognizes that the human body is composed of five elements - earth, water, fire, air, and space. The wellbeing of the body and mind is directly proportional to how these five elements function. This powerful practice helps cleanse and balance these fundamental elements, creating a foundation for spiritual growth and physical health. It is considered the basis for all other yogic practices as it prepares the system to receive and hold higher energies.
