CLEANSING WITH SHAT KRIYAS AT ANANDA IN THE HIMALAYAS
Ananda in the Himalayas is popular for many reasons-the Ayurvedic expertise, the hydrotherapy area, the ambience of the mountains. But not many are aware that Sandeep Agarwalla, their head of yoga, has studied at the traditional Bihar School of Yoga, and is therefore proficient with the shat kriyas, or six cleansing practices that are synonymous with this school. Learn a simple jal neti, which he teaches in great detail: the posture, water temperature, saltiness, how to pour and, most importantly, how to expel every drop. From ₹36,000 per night for a single room for wellness programmes. Minimum stay, five days; anandaspa.com
