Mulabandha


This doming principle, which is so perfectly embodied by jellyfish, is what creates sustainability in our yoga posture. Create this feeling in the pelvic floor, the soft palate, the palms of the the hands and soles of the feet, the root of the throat,  the armpits, and all the major joints of the body. Embody how the jellyfish looks, feels, and moves (the pulsation) in these energy centers and the posture will feel lighter and more joyous. It may take slowing down at first to begin feeling in this way.
