Mula bandha, the root lock, is an essential element of any yoga practice––but one veiled in both mystery and confusion. The "mula," or "root" is located at the base of the torso and is associated with the lowest energy center, the muladhara chakra. This bandha (lock) is a powerful energetic seal used to harness the flow of pranawithin the body; strengthening and stabilizing both physically and emotionally.

This workshop will familiarize the yoga practitioner with the structural anatomy of the lower pelvis. It will also address the energetic implications of mula bandhaaccording to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Upanishads, two ancient yogic texts. You will learn to several exercises to develop awareness of mula bandha––and then practice using this lock to enhance specific yoga postures. Practicing mula bandha will not only strengthen your core abdominal area, it will create emotional stability and calm in your life.

The workshop is appropriate for all levels of yoga practitioner, from beginner to advanced.
