Bandha (yoga)
Locks and internal mudras in traditional yoga
Mode of action of bandhas and mudras, serving to trap energy-fluids (breath, prana, bindu, amrita) and thus help to unblock the central sushumna channel.
A bandha (Sanskrit: बंध) is a kriyā in Hatha Yoga, being a kind of internal mudra described as a "body lock,"[1][2] to lock the vital energy into the body. Bandha literally means bond, fetter, or "catching hold of".[3][4][5]
