The Bandhas are energetic locks used in yoga practice to control the flow of prana (life force) within the body. There are three main Bandhas that we will focus on each session:

Week 1: Mulabandha (Root Lock)
Date: Saturday September 21st

Engage the muscles of the pelvic floor to control the flow of energy upward.
Benefits: Ground yourself and release, firmly anchoring in the present moment.
Practice: Techniques to engage and release Mulabandha, and integrating it into Asana and pranayama practices.

Week 2: Jalandhara Bandha (Throat Lock)
Date:  Saturday September 28th

Involves gently lowering the chin toward the chest to create a subtle compression at the throat, regulating the flow of energy in the upper body.

Benefits: Cultivate clarity and nourishment, enhancing focus and fostering a nourished pranic field around your heart.
Practice: Techniques to refine Jalandhara Bandha, and using it in meditation and pranayama.

Involves drawing the abdomen inward and upward toward the spine to stimulate the digestive organs and direct energy upward.

Benefits: Illuminate your path forward, empowering you to rise up and confidently confront life’s challenges.
Practice: Guided exercises to master Uddiyana Bandha, and applying it in various yoga sequences.
