Ladies - MulaBandha?

Yoga Discussion General Yoga
#1

Ladies I would love your help with me and mulabandha.
It is just a pelvic floor exercise? Is there some other ‘movement’ I’m meant to be feeling with this lock?
I just feel that I’m not getting it as my teacher mentions how it engages muscles etc to help with your core stretch in poses, especially with Warrior.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I find that Pilates helps with figuring out which kind of muscles are down there and how to activate them.

The above is a link to previous discussion of mulabandha that should give you good info.

Perhaps you could try practicing a variety of poses in front of a mirror and engage the mulabandha and see if your posture changes physically.

We do a similar exercise with our students when teaching about the bandhas :slight_smile:

good luck!

Are you referring to the physiological or energetic bandha please?
