ABSTRACT

Tri Bandha is a special technique explained in Yoga that involves the contraction of three specific muscle groups in the body, that includes the Moola Bandha, Uddiyana Bandha, and Jalandhara Bandha. These three locks are commonly used in Yoga and are believed to regulate the flow of Prana or vital energy throughout the body. The Moola Bandha involves the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, the Uddiyana Bandha involves the contraction of the abdominal muscles, and the Jalandhara Bandha involves the chin lock by bringing the chin towards the chest. The technique of practice of Tri Bandha is considered to be one of the powerful practices that can help in increasing the flow of energy, balance the endocrine system, and promote both physical and mental health. It is also practiced along with conjunction of Pranayama or breath control exercises and is best learned under the guidance of a qualified Yoga teacher.
