The basis for all creation, including the physical body, is the group of five elements: earth, water, wind, fire, and space. The wellbeing of the body and mind can be established by purifying these five elements within the human system. This process also shapes the body into a stepping stone towards one’s ultimate wellbeing.
It is the fundamental process that underlies every other yogic practice. It allows one to cleanse the body and prepare for more powerful sadhana (spiritual practices).
