Pavanmukt\u0101sana 2 \u2013 the Abdominal Series in Kundalini Yoga<\/h1>\n

When Pavanmukt\u0101sana 1<\/a> opens the joints, then part 2 moves to the center.<\/p>\n

The series is called udarapo\u1e63a\u1e47a \u0101sana<\/em>\u2014\u201cthe postures that nourish the abdomen.\u201d Ten exercises, all performed while lying down, all focused on the navel. They look like calisthenics. And in fact, physically, they do exactly what they promise: They stimulate intestinal peristalsis, facilitate elimination and digestion, and build core strength. <\/p>\n

But that's not the reason we teach them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Udarapo\u1e63a\u1e47a \u0101sana \u2013 the series that nourishes the center<\/h2>\n

From an energetic perspective, this series is even more interesting than its physical effects: It can strengthen willpower and that self-confidence and foster a warm feeling of grounding deeply within our inner core. The more we feel the strength of our center, the more freely we can live \u2013 free from worries and fear. <\/p>\n

This is not a coincidence and not a metaphor. The abdominal cavity is in yoga the seat of Ma\u1e47ip\u016bra, the center of fire. Anyone who reads about the Ma\u1e47ip\u016bra chakra <\/a>will find, will find there the same themes again: discipline, strength, transformation\u2014and the storm clouds that obscure the sky, when this center loses its balance . These ten exercises are the physical approach to this. <\/p>\n

The way the pavanamukt\u0101sana<\/em> series is presented here differs somewhat from the original method taught by Saty\u0101nanda. Here it is taught the way it is customary in our Kundalini Yoga tradition<\/a> . <\/p>\n

How to Practice This Series<\/h2>\n

Since these exercises are meant to work subtly with our energy rather than merely affecting the physical body, they should be practiced with a clear focus on breathing and rhythmic movement.<\/p>\n
