How do we do Breathing during Mulabandha? Is it like When we Pull the Muscles up - Exhale and when we release the muscles- INhale. Please Kindly reply at the earliest. Thank you
Briefly the idea is to hold mulabandha gently throughout spinal breathing pranayama. Tracing the spinal nerve up on the in-breath to the point between the eyebrows or the third eye and then down on the exhalation to the perineum or root chakra.
More lessons on "mulabandha" can be found near the top of the list in the topic index at http://www.aypsite.org/TopicIndex.html Also see "spinal breathing pranayama" in the topic index.
Just a quick note on my experience with mulabhanda so far. I just started to practice it about a week ago. It was very "clunky" at first, it took about 3 days before it became comfortable.
Its amazing what a huge boost it gives to those blissful feelings arising during pranayama. I've been doing spinal breathing for a while and just the addition of this simple bandha has had a tremendous effect on my practice.
The integration of the best yoga practices out there (thank you Yogani ) really does make a difference.
