In the early stages of Yoga practice, we are purifying the body with postures, breath, lifestyle, and Yogic diet. Think about the nature of the postures we practice and their effect on that part of the torso from the upper abdomen down.

In forward folds, prone backbends and in twists, not only are muscles made more supple and strong, but the internal organs of detoxification and elimination get a little inner massage. Stagnant blood is squeezed out and fresh blood is moved in and around the internal organs as we come in and out of these postures giving them more tone and supporting their better function.

This enhanced functioning of the inner organs increases their capacity to breakdown and assimilate nutrients making the body stronger, and also their capacity to expel metabolic and food wastes and toxins. As wastes are expelled, the body is also supported to become stronger and more vital, and the energy that was once used to process toxins can now be used for living.

Moreover, in working with fuller and more aligned breath patterns during posture practice, and moving in breath coordinated movements, alongside pranayama (breath practices), our nervous system becomes more steady and stronger. We thereby develop greater stress resilience as our whole body-mind-energy system moves into a harmonious alignment.

All this contributes to a body which can keep itself cleaner, freer, clearer and so more vital. Herbs have been used for thousands of years to purifying certain organs in the body. Helping the system to function at a normal compacity. Overall this all will help your health and mental wellbeing.
