Three Bandhas
The Sanskrit word Bandha means to hold, lock. There are three main bandhas plus the Mahabandha, a combination of them. A bandha is practiced separately or in conjunction with various asanas and Pranayama. Bandhas help to balance the chakras and awakens
Kundalini’s energy. The idea is to use muscular contractions or locks to seal off the energy flows. They help reduce tension and stress, muscular strain, and nervous irregularities. The three bandhas are related to the base of the spine, the dorsal or solar plexus region, and the throat or upper spine.

1. Mula bandha– pulling up the muscles between the anus and the scrotum or the vagina. The region between the navel and the anus is contracted towards the spine and pulled towards the diaphragm. It helps tone the pelvic area and correct prostate troubles and bladder weakness. It is a traditional practice for longevity and opens the psychic gateway for elevating lower energy.
2. Uddiyana Bandha encourages prana to course up through the Sushumna Nadi, the main channel for the flow of Kundalini energy. In addition, Uddiyana bandha aids digestion and bowel function, relieves constipation, reduces nervous tension and emotional stress, and promotes youth and vitality.
3. Jalandhara Bandha or the Chin Lock is the simplest of them. After exhaling or inhaling, apply Kumbhaka (breath retention) and bring the chin down towards the collarbones. This lock helps the lymphatic glands, thyroid and parathyroid, and the thymus function and stimulates various autonomic centers situated in the brain stem. It also helps flush out accumulated wastes through the improved circulation to these areas.
4. Mahabandha combines the three bandhas, promotes longevity, restores energy, and invigorates the entire psyche.

Mudras
In Sanskrit, Mudra means ‘gesture’ or ‘attitude.’ In Yoga, mudras are particular positions of the hands and the body to establish specific energy patterns, similar to electrical circuits. Mudras are practiced separately or with asanas, Pranayama, and bandhas. The mudras deepen a meditation practice.
