Hello dask,

There are two styles of yoga, Iyengar and Integral, that work with the
physical and energy blocks to clear habitual thought forms through
breath, posture and meditation.  No specific website named "integral
clearing" that I could locate, however.

dask...

There are several sites which discuss "internal cleansing"
as part of the meditative process, for example, the Ashtanga
Yoga website notes in regard to the following practices:

Yama (moral codes)
Niyama (self-purification and study)
Asana (posture)
Pranayama (breath control)
Pratyahara (sense control)
Dharana (concentration)
Dhyana (meditation)
Samadhi (contemplation)

"The first four limbs - yama, niyama, asana, pranayama 
 - are considered external cleansing practices. According
 to Pattabhi Jois, defects in the external practices are
 correctable. However, defects in the internal cleansing
 practices - pratyahara, dharana, dhyana - are not
 correctable and can be dangerous to the mind unless the
 correct Ashtanga Yoga method is followed."


Let me know if this satisfies your query.
