Yoga Bliss: Nauli Kriya Course

Course program

The Online Nauli Course by Yoga Bliss Lembongan is a self-paced introduction to Nauli Kriya, one of the six Shatkarma purification techniques described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and other classical yogic texts. Delivered over five days, it teaches the abdominal kriya practice from first contact through daily integration.

This course is open to anyone curious about traditional yogic techniques beyond asana. It suits practitioners who believe yoga is more than postures, students wanting to begin a daily kriya practice, and anyone interested in improving digestion, supporting their immune system, or preparing for more advanced pranayama. No prior credential is required.

The course frames Nauli within the wider Shatkarma tradition, drawing on references in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika to ground the practice in classical yogic philosophy. You’ll learn what Nauli Kriya is, why it sits among the six purification techniques, and how it differs from asana and pranayama.

The practical core walks through how to practice Nauli step by step, focusing on the abdominal region. You’ll explore the benefits the school identifies: improving the digestive and reproductive system, strengthening the abdominal muscles, stimulating manipura chakra, eliminating toxins, and preparing the body for more advanced pranayama techniques. The five-day structure supports daily practice and integration, with ongoing mentor support from Yoga Bliss founder Gwendoline Ferreira to help you bring the kriya into a sustainable home practice.

The course is led by Gwendoline Ferreira, a senior yoga teacher at Yoga Bliss Lembongan with twenty years of personal yoga practice. The course page notes her studies in Yoga Philosophy, Traditional Pranayama, Kriyas, and Meditation with teachers including Gregor Maehle and Dr. Kausthub Desikachar.

The format is fully self-paced and 100% online. Students move through the five-day course at their own speed and receive support from Gwendoline Ferreira during and after the program to help integrate Nauli Kriya into a daily practice. There are no scheduled live sessions or cohort dates.
