Bandhas are methods for moving energy deliberately. Most of the western world has misinterpreted the word Bandha to mean "lock". Bandha does NOT mean lock. We hear phrases like "Use Mula Bandha to hold energy in the pelvic floor" or "Lock your energy into the core with Uddiyana Bandha". This old misunderstanding has gone unchecked and it is time we learn the true meaning and the true power of activating our bandhas. It was actually the English word "loch" that was meant to describe the Sanskrit word "bandha". The word "loch" sounds like "lock" but the meaning is completely different. A loch is a large aquatic channel, natural or man made, that directs the flow of water; often into and through agricultural fields. Like water, life force energy flows. Nothing can stop it. But we can misdirect it or ignore it. Some of us are called to awaken to our life force energy and take responsibility for directing it with more intent and clarity. Activating our bandhas helps us do just that. In this workshop, you will discover bandha pathways and learn to activate bandhas in asana, pranayama, meditation, and daily living.
