Mula Bandha

In Iyengar, the bandhas (energy locks in the body)
are considered an advanced practice only to be used
as part of advanced pranayamas.
Here's an interesting article over at AshtangaNews.com by
Ruth Jones, an Ashtanga Vinyasa practitioner (in
which Mula Bandha, the root lock, is used
consistently throughout the practice) and PhD
candidate who is conducting a study on
contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.
