The Cleansing Power of Yoga is a beautiful and informative guide that explores the deeper, often overlooked side of yogic practice. Swami Saradananda introduces kriyas and other detox techniques in a way that feels accessible, meaningful, and rooted in ancient wisdom. This book gently reminds you that healing is not just physical, but also emotional, energetic, and mental.

Each chapter focuses on one of the five senses and the mind, offering a unique lens for inner purification. I appreciated how each section includes a blend of yoga poses, breathing techniques, mantras, and visualizations. The practices are explained clearly, and the intent behind them is always connected to real-life experiences. Whether it is about improving clarity, emotional balance, or energy flow, the guidance feels supportive and grounded.

The visual design of the book is also a highlight. The colorful illustrations make the content feel vibrant and alive, and they help bring the practices to life. This is not a book to rush through. It invites you to take your time, reflect, and gently integrate the teachings into your routine.

Some readers who are newer to yoga may want to start slowly, as certain practices go deeper than what is often taught in mainstream classes. However, the tone of the book remains calm and encouraging throughout.

This is a thoughtful resource for anyone seeking a more holistic approach to detox and well-being. It blends traditional yoga with practical tools for feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected.

Due to a passing in the family a few years ago and my subsequent health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for years after the bereavement. Thank you for the opportunity.

I wasn’t able to finish this book. Because of this, it is my policy not to review the book on my site or on Goodreads/Amazon. I also didn’t mark it DNF.

Yoga is such a great way to maintain your physical and mental health. I thought this book did a good job of making the philosophy of yoga understandable and the techniques look doable. Thanks very much and so sorry this fell through the cracks!

Found this book to be informative and I will certainly try to follow some of the advice given. I think it would be better suited to some one with more experience of yoga or the eastern life style
Thank you netgalley

I love doing yoga but this book gave me more ideas and routines for my daily life to help cleanse my body and my soul. It introduced me to new ideas that I would have never even thought of trying before.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have to start by saying I have never really been into yoga, but I am always for trying something new. So I got this book and wanted to try out someone else's point of view. There were a few things about spiritual laws and three bodies that can be cleansed through yoga. It made me look at yoga in a different life. So it has changed my opinion on it.

It was okay. I didn't learn anything new from this particular book. Maybe good if you are a begginer

Really interesting book. Full of information and practical advice. You won’t have to read it page after page.... you can just read what you are intereted in at the moment. I mostly do yoga, when I am in pain and in the book there are some excercises that could help you with your problem - also at the end there are routines for some of the most common health problems, I highly reccomend it.

I am trying to learn yoga and meditation. When i saw this book i wanted to read it. They were really great techniques and explanitations. I am slowly reading it. I will try to do some of the techniques.
