As my main profession revolves around Thai Massage and Thai Yoga, it’s perhaps not that obvious why I wrote an in-depth book about the Yoga Nadis. Therefore, in this article I will tell you a bit about how this came to happen.

Now, as a Thai Massage therapist, it’s indispensable to understand the theory and practice of the Sip Sen Energy Lines, which are the energy pathways through which Vital Life Energy is conducted across the body. In Indian Yogic practices, this Vital Life Energy is called Prana, and in Thailand it’s called Lom Pran.
When I was studying the Sip Sen Energy Lines (also known as Sen Sip, Sib Sen, or Sen Sib), I quickly discovered that they are based on the Yoga Nadis, the latter in Yoga theory known as the Prana pathways in the body. In fact, the first three of the ten primary Sib Sen Lines have more or less the same name as the first three and most important Yoga Nadis, being Sushumna Nadi, Ida Nadi, and Pingala Nadi.
In Thai Massage (Nuad Thai) and Thai Yoga (Reusi Dat Ton), the first three energy lines are named: Sen Sumana, Sen Ittha, and Sen Pingkhala. As you can see, it’s obvious that they are derived from the Nadis, because the concept and practice of the Nadi energy distribution system is much older than the concept of the Thai Sib Sen Lines.
So, as I became interested in knowing more about the Yoga Nadi system, I looked for literature about it on the Internet. To my astonishment, I couldn’t find even one comprehensive book, or any other form of literature, that described the locations, trajectories, and functions of the Nadis.

In fact, you’ll easily find a lot of articles about the first three Nadis (Sushumna, Ida, and Pingala Nadi) but very, very little about the other Nadis. I discovered that there’s actually very little known about the history, theory, and practice of the Yoga Nadi system.
You’ll also find that different Yoga teachers nurture different ideas and theories, and — as said — mainly focus on the first three principal Nadis. I found out that the cause arises from the classical Yoga texts, which frequently seem to contradict each other, each being far from complete and often having their focus one a limited set of Yoga aspects.
All in all, I still find it strange, but I think I have written the first comprehensive book about the primary 14 Yoga Nadis, a fact I can still not believe because Yoga is already so long around, and today there are so many Yoga instructors active around the world. But it is what it is, just as it seems that I have been the first to dedicate an entire in-depth book about the Sib Sen Energy Lines.
