About Pranayama & Kriya: The Art of Breath and Cleansing
In our studio, breathwork is not just a warmup, it is the core of our practice. Whether it is mastering Anulom Vilom for nervous system regulation or performing Jal Neti for sinus relief, we operate on the principle of 'Ruko, thoda time lagega' (Hold, it takes time). You will learn the precise technique and necessary caution for each kriya, because cleansing the body and calming the mind requires patience and proper guidance, not just repetition.
The Power of Breath and Cleansing
Many people view yoga only as exercise, but the real transformation happens when you start working with the breath. At Body Temple Yoga Studio in Santacruz West, we treat Pranayama and Kriya as essential therapies. These are not quick fixes, but deep practices that help you manage stress, improve lung capacity, and clear out physical and mental stagnation.
Our Core Practices
- Anulom Vilom: A foundational technique we teach to balance the left and right energy channels. It is excellent for reducing daily stress and preparing the body for deeper states of rest.
- Bhramari (Humming Bee Breath): We use this to instantly calm the nervous system. It is particularly effective for those dealing with anxiety or persistent headaches.
- Jal Neti: This is a vital yogic cleansing technique for the nasal passages. We guide students through the process to ensure it is done hygienically and correctly, which helps with sinus health and mental clarity.
Why Practice With Us?
These techniques require more than just following a video. They require an instructor who can correct your alignment and pacing. Because we keep our groups small, I can personally ensure your breathwork is steady and your kriya practice is safe. We do not rush. We understand that true wellness comes from consistency, not from forcing a pose or a breath. Whether you are struggling with congestion, high stress, or just looking to deepen your existing yoga practice, these sessions provide a structured, safe space to learn.
We provide a welcoming environment where students from all walks of life come together to grow. If you have been looking for a grounded approach to breathwork in Mumbai, come join our yoga family. We work on the mat, but we also talk, share stories, and support one another in the journey toward better health.
