The Sanskrit word “bandha” is frequently translated as “lock” due to how bandhas affect the energy body when applied. Even though the word is rarely used in beginner yoga classes, anyone can learn them and use them to support one’s practice and progress towards yoga. Learn what physical action(s) create a bandha, why bandhas are important to a yoga practice, how to use aerial yoga to access them, and when to use them.
Traditionally, bandhas are used for energetic purposes – to retain energy and to increase vitality. In addition, they have positive physical benefits such as: improving posture, developing core strength, and assisting digestion.
Most people attend yoga classes to improve their physical fitness without realizing the original purpose for the yoga postures. The intense focus on deep breathing while practicing yoga postures was originally meant to balance our autonomic nervous system, which helps our minds be uncolored by thoughts arising out of stress, anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, or any array of emotions that push us into (and sometimes get us stuck in) the fight-flight-freeze instinct. Balancing our autonomic nervous system improves our overall well-being (both mind and body), which brings us closer to inner peace.
No matter what the goal of your yoga practice, we can use the yoga hammock to support and enhance your experience.
