MULA BANDHA DEFINITION
In Sanskrit Mula means “root”, and Bandha means “lock”, so it can be literally translated as a “root lock”, but this translation gives no clue of the asana or Bandha meaning. Mula here can mean two things: muladhara chakra where Kundalini sits, and the foundation of the spine, the perineum.
The practice of Mula Bandha is mentioned in ancient yoga shastras, for example, in Hatha Yoga Pradipika, in fourth chapter, verse 61, where it is said: “Press the heels to the perineum, while contracting the perineum muscles. Pullapana upward. This is known as Mula Bandha”. Apana here refers to the internal air channels in the body called vayu, which carries the energy throughout the body.
Mula Bandha is also mentioned in Gheranda Samhita and Yoga Chudamani Upanishada
MULA BANDHA INSTRUCTION
The place or the spot which needs to be contracted can activate muladhara chakra, and this spot is slightly different in men and women due to the differences in physiology.
Men: in the perineum, between anus and genitals. Women: in the cervixarea, which connects the uterus with the vagina? Mula Bandha is often performed improperly by contracting the anus. This is another technique called ashvini mudra
MULA BANDHA POSES
The best yoga pose for Mula Bandha is siddhasana for men and siddha yoniasana for women. In each of these poses one heel presses against themuladhara area to stimulate its physical contraction. If you cannot sit in these asanas, then take any other pose for meditation where your knees are on the ground. It can be padmasana, svastikasana, bajrasana or ardha padmasana
