    Commentaries around

    “Just as Mūla Bandha, Uḍḍīyāna Bandha,
    Jālandhara Bandha and Jivha Bandha
    are very important for Prāṇāyāma,
    Mano Bandha is very important for Dhyānam.
    Mano Bandha is Dhāraṇā.”
    – T Krishnamacharya commentary on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Three verse 1

    “Uḍḍīyāna Bandha is a pre-requisite for
    the other two Bandha, Jālandhara and Mūla.
    From the practice of Uḍḍīyāna Bandha
    the Nāḍī and Cakra become purified and strengthened.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    the Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 67

    “Tri Bandha Sādhana – Jālandhara, Uḍḍīyāna and Mūla,
    starts from the top down rather than the bottom up,
    in both senses.”
    – 108 Mudrā Practice Pointers

    “Jālandhara Bandha needs to be in place before
    interacting with the breath and the spine
    through mid-range movement.”
    – 108 Mudrā Practice Pointers

    “When working with the inhale in Mahāmudrā try
    to create an effect of upward movement in the spine,
    as if within Bhujaṅgāsana inhaling from the top down,
    whilst arching the spine upwards through the inhale.
    So straightening the spine lifting the chest upwards,
    whilst keeping the Jālandhara Bandha locked down.”
    – 108 Mudrā Practice Pointers

    “Jālandhara Bandha needs to be re-applied
    every time during the Bāhya Kumbhaka,
    prior to the Pūraka re-inforcing the lock.”
    – 108 Mudrā Practice Pointers
