I was searching around internet and found some about an old vedic text, one of the texts amongs 3 main ones about the principes of HathaYoga. 

this certain text/tradition/way emphasasis more towards the cleansing techniques "shatkarmas" or "kriyas" it seams.
and it is not the 8 steps as patanjalis "yogasutras"
[wich seams actually to be more of the mental aspects of older yoga compared to the more physical HathaYoga we in some kind of way do today]
but instead it follow 7 steps/limbs..
interesting.

anyway..
one of the cleansing methods under the tread "dhauti" - wich mainly focuses [with a few exceptions] on the digestive system.

one of the more unusual methods that I found was:

Bahiskrita dhauti
This is a very difficult practice unless you are an advanced hatha yogi. It involves standing navel deep in clean water, pushing the rectum out and washing it in the hands.

in one of the texts it says "It is not easily available even to the gods"...

strangely I couldn't find a picture of this?!?!
but maybe this sadhu has just done it, hi looks so proud ha ha
