Bandha (bond, arrest) is a term for the "body locks" in Hatha Yoga, treated under the heading of mudra. Specific bandhas are:

  • Mula Bandha, contraction of the perineum
  • Uddiyana bandha, contraction of the abdomen into the rib cage
  • Jalandhara Bandha, tucking the chin close to the chest
  • Maha Bandha, combining all three of the above bandhas
