Yoga for detoxification – VII
 
According to yoga, there exists an invisible electric circuit in the body, which is made up of 72,000 units (the nadis). The three main nadis are Ida, Pingla and Sushunna, which run along the spine. In order to maintain and keep this electrical circuit problem-free, several techniques are practised that help balance and stabilise our system. It is said that all problems begin somewhere in this electrical circuit. "Nadi Shuddhi Kriya" strengthens the three main nadis, keeping your mind and body healthy enough to resist toxins that attack you all day long.
