Bandhas, with Sonia Perry. Session 1

Sun, 27 Apr

|

Scarborough

Apart from the all important pelvic diaphragm, there are 4 other diaphragms in the body - bandhas - which help us to maintain tone rather than be saggy/tense or sad/anxious. This tone is naturally and easily activated by vagal tone and an aligned spine. The bodymind can be awake, strong and free.

About the event

Weaving together wisdom from the Alexander Technique, Scaravelli-influenced yoga and guidance from classic texts such as The Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

Bandha translates as ‘lock’, as in a lock in a canal where waterflow is guided and directed. Similarly our energy flow can be channelled and be contained within our bodies rather than leaking out. We can enjoy more vitality, contentment and clarity.

There are 5 main bandhas: the pelvic floor, the abdominal muscles, vocal diaphragm and in the hands and feet.

When we consciously enable tone our life force can more fully nourish our internal organs and our spine is long and free. We can thrive.

Asana practice becomes much easier and more meaningful as we learn to work with our bodies, rather than on them.
