Body Cleansing: A bath should be taken before the prayer. A clean body prepares and assists the mind to be in spiritual mode. This is also symbolic of washing one's dirt or karmas.
Body cleansing is brought about by the practice of the shatkarmas or six purificatory techniques which are very important from the point of view of physical and mental health.
Asana is most commonly practiced for body cleansing and keeping a good health. Mainly focused on breathing exercises, Asana keeps the body relaxed, improves blood circulation, and reduces back and shoulder pains.
