Pranayama, through discipline and breathing, promotes the purification of the subtle energy channels, or ‘nadis’ within our body. Once these channels are cleared out, this helps with the free flow of prana.
It is said that when these energy paths that are present inside your body are facing any blocks, i.e., in the form of ego, jealousy, anger, distractions and the likes, this will lead to turmoil inside the body. High stress could lead to physical problems, jealousy could make way for mental issues and all of it together results in a human who is not in touch with self.
And then through Pranayama, a person is able to clear out these pathways and let positive energy flow within them.
