Bandha
Bandha in Sanskrit means to bind, hold, tighten or lock. This is what the bandhas of yogic practice also teaches us. They tighten muscles or parts of the body to lock prana or universal life energy and direct it towards Sushumna Nadi, or the subtle central channel of energy. This increases the power of concentration and can lead to spiritual progress if practice regularly.
There are four bandhas: Uddiyana, Jalandhara, moola, and maha. Each of these bandhas is performed to remove the knots ( called granthis) in our chann9 of energy and facilitate the movement of that energy. Each bandha helps to strengthen and regulates our body parts and organs too.
PRECAUTIONS:
1. Weak person should not perform this hand posture and do not do this hand posture for a long time in hot weather.
2. People who have asthma and respiratory problems should do this Mudra for a short duration only.
