What is Bandhas ?  

  Bandha is a Sanskrit word related to our   English words "band","bind", "bond" and   "bound." They are particular     actions   involving pressure or strain on the   muscles. Each bandha is a lock, meaning   a closing off of part of the    interior body.   These locks are used in various   pranayama and asana practices to tone,   cleanse and energize the    interior body   and organs.
