Uddhiyana Bandha is an essential yogic practice that plays a significant role in both asana and pranayama traditions. The term uddhiyana bandha literally means “flying upward lock,” referring to the upward lifting of the abdominal region. Practicing uddhiyana bandha involves drawing the abdomen inward and upward after exhalation, creating a gentle vacuum in the belly area. This technique helps stimulate the digestive organs, improve metabolism, and support detoxification of the body. Regular practice of uddhiyana bandha is also known to strengthen the core muscles and enhance control over the breath. Beyond physical benefits, uddhiyana bandha is valued for its energetic effects, as it directs prana upward through the central energy channel, supporting mental clarity, focus, and inner awareness.
