Neti (Nasal Cleansing)
Netī
नेती
It is a Hatha Yoga purification technique for cleansing the nasal passages and clearing the breath.
Netī means "nasal cleansing" in Sanskrit. It is a Hatha Yoga purification technique for cleansing the nasal passages and clearing the breath. It mainly includes "Jala Neti" (water cleansing) and "Sutra Neti" (thread cleansing).
By removing mucus, allergens, and impurities from the nasal passages, it improves breathing quality and clears the Prana (life force energy) pathway. It is also believed to alleviate sinusitis, allergies, and cold symptoms.
Jala Neti is performed using a Neti pot and saline solution. Often practiced before Pranayama (breathing techniques). Instructors guide students on proper technique and the importance of hygiene.
Convey that "nasal cleansing benefits not only breathing but also mental clarity." For first-time students, stress careful guidance and advise against forcing the delicate practice.
