Jalandhar Bandh<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Assume a sitting posture, preferably Padmasana or Sukhasana.
\n\u2022 Both the knees should firmly touch the ground.
\n\u2022 Place the palms of straightened hands on the knees.
\n\u2022 Close the eyes and relax the body.
\n\u2022 Take a deep inhalation, hold the breath inside and bend the head forward \u2014 downward. Now press the chin tightly into the sternum.
\n\u2022 Pull the shoulders up and bend them forward into a rounded shape, while keeping the hand straight and palms firm on the knees.
\n\u2022 Continue to remain in this pose as long as you can.
\n\u2022 Now relax the shoulders and arms, slowly raise the head and exhale.
\n\u2022 Repeat the procedure after the normal breathing is achieved.
\n\u2022 This exercise can also be performed in standing position.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Uddiyana Bandh<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Sit in a comfortable meditative pose.
\n\u2022 Both the knees should rest on the ground firmly, and palms over them.
\n\u2022 Close the eyes and relax the whole body.
\n\u2022 Exhale completely and hold the breath outside.
\n\u2022 Perform Jalandhar bandh.
\n\u2022 Now suck in the abdomen, raise the diaphragm and expand the chest; abdominal wall is now flattened against the spine and a hollow cavity is formed.
\n\u2022 When you can no longer hold the breath, relax the muscles and allow the air to enter the lungs in a long slow inhalation and return to basic relaxing position.
\n\u2022 Breath normally and then repeat the whole procedure.
\nThis exercise can be practised in the standing position too.<\/p>\n

Moot Bandh<\/span><\/p>\n

This exercise may be performed in standing, sitting, or lying position, but the best posture is Siddhasana or Mool bandh asana, because in this posture heel is being pressed into the perineum and thereby automatically it helps in the performance.
\n\u2022 Sit in Siddhasana with knees touching the ground and palms on the knees.
\n\u2022 Take a deep inhalation, hold the breath inside and perform Jalandhar bandh.
\n\u2022 Now try to contract the ring of muscles around the anus tightly and up, thereby causing the whole pelvic region to contract.
\n\u2022 Retain the posture for the easily possible maximum length of time along with breath retention.
\n\u2022 Then release the perineal contraction, raise the head slowly and then slowly exhale.
\n\u2022 Repeat the process 4-5 times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
