  • What the heck is mula bandha, and why do we practice it? In this video, we'll take a look at the purpose of mula bandha, its anatomical underpinnings, and contemplations for cuing. We'll also do a little practice so that you can feel it in your own body. This video is an excerpt from the course, Integral Anatomy for Yogis!

    Great explanation. I had a teacher that said “Engage the space between your two functions “ 😊love that way too of keeping it light

      Haha, that is awesome! ~ great share about keeping it light...that's a such a good way to add some grace and levity in navigating the self-consciousness that can come up with pelvic floor work!🙏🏻

    Excellent explanation and guidance! I like the part where you say this practice may take years to develop a relationship with. I like to think of that as “ faith in Yoga”. It can be challenging to believe that the subtle energies exist ( Nadis, chakras). Foreign to most western minds. Xrays or MRI’s can’t “see” them. Practice clears our vision. Our minds become the “X-ray machine”.😇❤️

    I like the explanations here. However if you want a more focused practice that really targets the sensation of what is happening down there is a great video from Jared McCann. It's excellent!

    Really appreciate your sharing. As I understand, we can practice moola bandha either hold breathing in or breathing out. Isn’t it? Thanks for kind patient to respond

    I thought kegel and mulabandha were similar but from your video it seems kegel is more in the front (not center of pelvic floor). Is my understanding right?

    • @RachelScottYoga
      @RachelScottYoga  Před 7 měsíci +3

      I am not an expert in kegels, but yes, that matches my understanding!

    But after mulababdha awareness should be move to Vishudhi chakra.

    Hi Rachel, thank you for this brilliant video! I have a question: is it desirable (or even possible?!) to cultivate the ability to breath into your belly &/or relax the belly whilst engaging mula bandha?
    On my first training I didn’t know to ask. On another training we were taught to keep the abdominal muscles drawn back and focus expanding into the ribs on the inhale whilst maintaining the mula bandha. Then a kundalini teacher told me never to engage mula bandha on the in breath as it creates tension in the body, so just lift it up on the exhale and release the bandha and the belly on the inhale. I like this in some movements eg rolling up from a forward bend, you can cue to exhale and roll up whilst deliberately enhancing the natural mula lift you get on an exhale, to be a full pelvic lift. But in, for instance, a back bend where you want the pelvic floor & bandha for physical support and movement of energy it seems better to maintain abdomen and bandha and expand the ribs… I’d really love thoughts on this 🙏 ❤
