Durga, Techno, & Night Bandits

In this class learn about the master lock, the mahabandha.

"The science of yoga stops at mahabhandha."

-Yogi Bhajan

Guru Jagat kicks off Yogic Science Academy with an introduction to the concepts of the bandhas (yogic locks).

Discuss the lower-triangle (first three chakras) and why Western society is so out of sync with them. Learn how to have a healthy relationship with your authoritative power (third chakra), sensuality (second), & sense of security (first) that keep you grounded on the earth and thriving as a human being.

The bandhas are hydraulic locks that, once applied, allow you to access more of your infinite supply of energy (AKA "kundalini").

Kundalini energy is the potential, creative energy stored at the base of the spine. Everyone has the potential to awaken this energy & all yogas are intended to do so. Bhandas allow the kundalini energy to awaken & flow freely. Exactly like a hydraulic lock, one applies pressure so that the energy can pump upwards.

Each lock (root lock AKA mulbandh, uddiyana at the diaphragm, & jalandhar at the neck) is incredibly potent. Yogi Bhajan said it takes 18 months to perfect the most complex lock, jalandhar bandh.
