Imagine enjoying a beautiful morning next to a river, reading book, simply breathing and cutting belly fat at the same time?
What if I tell you it's true? Not just this, but you can massage internal organs, improve digestion, blood circulation and release stress too!
Allow me to introduce Udhyan Bandh, a powerful Yogic technique for spiritual upliftment through activating Manipura Chakra and raising the Pranic every up. This spiritual tool has all the above-mentioned physical benefits too. As long as you don't do it with a stomach full of food.
So here's how to do Udhyan Bandh-
Step 1: Exhale and empty you belly.
Step 2: Hold the exhale and pull the belly in. Imagine your belly button is touching your spine.
Step 3: Hold as per your comfort level.
Step 4: Release and repeat as many times as you like.
Note: You might feel pain in lower back as a beginner. It's perfectly natural.
Spine should be erect at all times.
It's better to practice in Padamasana
The traditional and textbook method is to do this after asanas and before Pranayams. In Vinyasa tradition Surya Namaskar is practiced with this bandh and Ujjayi breath.
