According to yogic philosophy, the subtle body is comprised of energy channels (nadis), energy centers (chakras), and vital energy (prana).

By activating the nadis and chakras, subtle body yoga facilitates the smooth flow of prana throughout the body, promoting vitality and well-being.
Certain poses target specific energy centers associated with emotions, helping to release blockages and cultivate emotional balance.
Through mindful practice, subtle body yoga deepens our connection to the divine and fosters a sense of oneness with the universe.
While much of the evidence supporting the benefits of subtle body yoga is anecdotal, several studies have explored the effects of yoga on various aspects of physical and mental health. Research suggests that yoga can reduce stress, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being.
