This is very helpful, thank you. I find when I focus on diaphragmatic breathing the bandhas come online almost by themselves. This seem less complicated and less forceful than applying the bandhas directly. Does that make any sense? It's something I'm exploring but not totally sure of :)
yes they go together- harder perhaps to approach it from
this way around perhaps/less common, but totally possible!
Thanks for your response. Right now doing it this way makes more sense to me and helps things feel less mechanical. Thank you so much!
So, when you inhale, the diaphragm comes down, but what is happening below the navel. What are the abs and pelvic floor doing on inhale and exhale?
The deep abdominal muscles - transverse abdominal, not the abs are engaged gently to help mobilise the diaphragm. The pelvic floor area is not part of this process whatsoever. That serves another , deeper energetic function.
@@keenonyoga Can you say more about the pelvic floor action? My understanding is that the TA and pelvic floor co-contract. Do you have a video on this?
@@whitneypaterson1230TA - transverse abdominals? the pelcic floor (i feel) is simpler than its often made out to be in yoga texts - it’s exactly that; the lifting of the pelvic floor.. It can be done in isolation or concomitantly with other muscles around the area ..
@@keenonyoga Yes, TA I was referring to transverse abdominals. Okay that makes sense, thank you for sharing your perspective!
My understanding of the co-contraction comes from pelvic floor therapists, who have explained to me that is how it works. I gave birth 6 months ago and have been in a deep study of the area. I appreciate hearing the yoga perspective.
