A short instructional transcript (YouTube) in which Colleen Leela, a New York City yoga instructor, introduces nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathwork) and explains the three main energy channels (sushumna, pingala, ida/chandra), how they crisscross to spin chakras, and how chakras distribute prana through the body's many nadis to regulate the subtle body.

Colleen. Namaste. I'm Colleen Leela. I'm a New York City based yoga instructor. Today I'm going to teach you nadi shadhan, which is alternate breath practice. There are three main channels in the body. Sushumna nadi, which is the central channel running from the crown of the head to the base of the spine. Pingala nadi, which runs from the right nostril crisscrossing sushumna nadi to the base of the spine and Chandra nadi, or Ida nadi, which runs from the left nostril crisscrossing shishumna nadi, to the base of the spine. These two NADIs, as they crisscross, they turn the energy vortexes in our bodies called the chakras. The chakras then push your prana throughout the 72,000 other NADIs in the body. So it's a way of regulating your subtle body.
