Bandhas
In Yoga, you will discover three essential bandhas that harness subtle energies. These bandhas aid in breath retention, allowing for prolonged posture holding. They promote tranquility and composure throughout your Hatha Yoga practice, while also facilitating the smooth flow of Prana.
The four bandhas in Yoga are:
- Mula Bandha (Root Lock)
- Uddiyana Bandha (Abdominal Lock)
- Jalandhara Bandha (Chin Lock)
- Maha Bandha (great lock)
