Hi to everyone!

I have done a range of yoga styles over the years, and have regularly done

uddiyana and nauli. I wondered if these fitted with K Y? I think I saw

them in an old 3HO publication, but with no schedules.

 

Namaste - Mike

Sat Nam Mike:

 

Uddiyana bhand (diaphragm lock) is often used in different kriyas,

sometimes in postures other than the standing position often taught

in other yogic forms. For example, a standard exercise to practice

the bhands is to sit on the heels with the knees wide apart,

rhythmically applying root lock (mul bhand), then diaphragm lock,

then neck lock (jalandhara bhand), pulling the locks on the exhale,

relaxing each lock before applying the next.

 

I haven't run across a traditional nauli practice in KY, although

Vatskar Kriya comes pretty close, and of course there are many more

kriyas than I have seen or practiced.

 

As far as schedules go, we recommend that kriyas are practiced for 40

days in a row (to break an old habit), or 90 days in a row (to

establish a new habit), or for 1,000 days, to master a kriya. So,

any schedules would be up to you!

 

Blessings,

Sadhant

It wasn't clear from the booklet I have whether e.g. uddiyana is only an

adjunct to other techniques, or whether it can be used on its own.

 

If on its own, I wonder if you have any suggestions for length of time per

session, or number of repetitions...

Obviously it is quite powerful, and has some similarity to an asana (in

terms of muscular effort) - which are often repeated for e.g. 3 mins, as

opposed to e.g. 11, 31 mins.

 

BTW I am finding this list very helpful, as I am working by myself.

 

Namaste - mike

Dear Mike,

We use uddiyana or diaphram lock as part of the locks that we do holding the

exhale out after various exercises. It can also be practiced separately,

but I don't recall it being taught as a separate exercise. I use it

especially working on the heart and solar plexus chakras.

I don't. I think you will need to use your intuition here.

 

BTW, some of our rs will not be familiar with what we are talking

about. The locks or bhandas are explained on www.kundaliniyoga.org and in

one of the KYT lessons. And Mike might like to explain his understanding of

the diaphragm lock.

 

SAt Nam,

 

Gururattan Kaur
