Bandh Question

[aditya]

I have read people suggesting Bandh after expelling air from your body(as much as you can). Some experts suggest - do bandh after you have filled air inside.

What difference it makes in terms of effect?

Hi Aditya,
I cannot tell you what the difference is in terms of effect..

I can tell you though, that in the AYP book Yogani says that holding your breath with your lungs empty is not natural.. it is done during uddiyana/nauli and sometimes happens in automatic yoga... however in our AYP practices we do not hold our breath with our lungs empty.

I am sure the experts out here will let you know what the effects of full and empty lungs are.. if any.

There were some dicussions of it here, maybe they will help..
