Abstract
Every living being is alive and functions because of a pranic energy (life force) that circulates through our bodies through different channels knows as Nadi. Similar to our nervous system, our astral body has thousands of channels that energy flows through. These channels are nadis and are vital part of yogi’s journey. 
 The Sanskrit word “Nadi” means “tube” as we all call the nadis “channel.” It refers to the astral channels that energies our astral body. Just like our physical body has an elaborate central nervous system, our astral body has one too, a network of nadis which are not tangible like blood vessels or arteries but one can experience only through self-enlightenment. 
 Nadi Shodhana is a powerful breathing practice done to purify the nadis in our body. Nadi means “channel” and Shodhana means “Purification”. Prana can only reach every part of the body when the nadis are clear and strong. Blocked nadis blocks prana flow and results in physical and mental health complications. NadiShuddhi is aimed at clearing and purifying the subtle channels, balancing the sun and moon energies in our body to attain harmony between the body, mind, and soul allowing prana to move freely bringing balance to the system as a whole.
