mouth. Hold the breath outside. Sequentially perform Jalandhara, Uddiyana and Moola Bandha
at end. Inhale slowly when the head is upright. This is one round
Benefits:
Maha Bandha gives the benefits of all three bandhas. It affects the hormonal secretions of the
pineal gland and regulates the entire endocrine system. The decaying, cell of the body is
rejuvenated. It soothes anger and introverts the mind prior to meditation. It leads to the merge of
prana, apana and samana in agni mandala, which is the culmination of all pranayamas.
