After the application of this concept, it means that by exercising the same flexibility and strength of the two poles of the body, it will enter a state of balance. It also represents keeping the balance between the left and right brain, so that the logical and arithmetic left brain can live in harmony with the creative and intuitive right brain and play a balanced role.

In yoga, breathing through the right nostril is called the breath of the sun, while breathing through the left nostril is called the breath of the moon. It is very important for all hatha yoga practices to keep breathing smoothly in some way.
