Often referred to as the root lock in yoga, Mula Bandha is one of the primary hatha yoga energy locks designed to direct and contain prana within the body. While it is an essential component of physical yoga movements, it can often feel abstract or challenging for practitioners to grasp. This 20-minute session focuses on pelvic floor engagement in hatha, breaking down the mechanics of this internal lift so you can apply it with confidence across your entire practice. By establishing a strong physical and energetic foundation, this mulbandh practice helps stabilize the pelvis, support the spine, and create a sense of lightness in challenging postures.
