The bandhas can be an elusive aspect of practice. They’re subtle components of the energetic body, which itself can be a challenging concept to grasp. Bandhas can be explored theoretically, energetically, and also physically. What if there were a physical part of bandhas that you could access and you knew what these physical access points were? In the Ashtanga Yoga Bandha Workshop, we’ll work with the physical access of bandhas and relate that to what we understand them to be theoretically and energetically.

If you can access them, your practice will come from the inside out and be more energetic in nature.
