Haha, that is awesome! ~ great share about keeping it light...that's a such a good way to add some grace and levity in navigating the self-consciousness that can come up with pelvic floor work!🙏🏻
Excellent explanation and guidance! I like the part where you say this practice may take years to develop a relationship with. I like to think of that as “ faith in Yoga”. It can be challenging to believe that the subtle energies exist ( Nadis, chakras). Foreign to most western minds. Xrays or MRI’s can’t “see” them. Practice clears our vision. Our minds become the “X-ray machine”.😇❤️
I like the explanations here. However if you want a more focused practice that really targets the sensation of what is happening down there is a great video from Jared McCann. It's excellent!
Really appreciate your sharing. As I understand, we can practice moola bandha either hold breathing in or breathing out. Isn’t it? Thanks for kind patient to respond
I thought kegel and mulabandha were similar but from your video it seems kegel is more in the front (not center of pelvic floor). Is my understanding right?
Hi Rachel, thank you for this brilliant video! I have a question: is it desirable (or even possible?!) to cultivate the ability to breath into your belly &/or relax the belly whilst engaging mula bandha? On my first training I didn’t know to ask. On another training we were taught to keep the abdominal muscles drawn back and focus expanding into the ribs on the inhale whilst maintaining the mula bandha. Then a kundalini teacher told me never to engage mula bandha on the in breath as it creates tension in the body, so just lift it up on the exhale and release the bandha and the belly on the inhale. I like this in some movements eg rolling up from a forward bend, you can cue to exhale and roll up whilst deliberately enhancing the natural mula lift you get on an exhale, to be a full pelvic lift. But in, for instance, a back bend where you want the pelvic floor & bandha for physical support and movement of energy it seems better to maintain abdomen and bandha and expand the ribs… I’d really love thoughts on this 🙏 ❤

Great explanation. I had a teacher that said “Engage the space between your two functions “ 😊love that way too of keeping it light

But after mulababdha awareness should be move to Vishudhi chakra.

I am not an expert in kegels, but yes, that matches my understanding!

Hi Rachel, can it help me keep away from my sentation urge?
I am afraid I do not know what that means.
@RachelScottYoga I mean, can this yoga help practicing semen retention?
@@vietanhphan4788 Theoretically, I would say yes, but I'm not versed in those practices, I'm afraid, so I cannot speak to it further.
Now will you do a video on how to have lovely arms?
HA! I can claim no real credit on that one, we'll have to thank my mama!
You say we move the prana up, but isn't that actually the sexual energy that we move up?
What's the difference?
