This "Bandhas Demystified" video explains the three most commonly used Bandhas - Mula (root lock), Uddiyana (flying up lock), Jalanhandra (cloud catching lock) - which are contractions of specific muscles coupled with precise positioning of the spine. Mula Bandha contracts your pelvic floor, Uddiyana Bandha contracts the body's center, and Jalanhandra contracts the throat area with the skull slightly tilted back directly over the spine. This Bandha practice can help develop a deeper understanding of how the breath affects the nervous system.
