Does Moola Bandha Cause Constipation?

Sometimes I hear from people that because of Mula Bandha practice, they feel the increase of bodily heat, and constipation.

Some even say that it is Moola Bandha that causes all this. But is it?

Since Mula Bandha activates Mooladhara chakra, it can, indeed, increase the bodily heat, as well as improve the vitality.

But what about worsening the bowel movements?

Essentially, Moola Bandha won't make you constipated, because - in reality - it stimulates your pelvic muscles, affecting the elimination positively.

The other thing is - you may not do it properly, or you may not do it in the right time.

What do I mean by saying 'the right time'?

Bandhas and mudras are done when a person has already got some experience in yoga poses and maybe some pranayamas.

This makes his or her body more fit for working with the energies of the body.

So, if you only a beginner in yoga, there is no need to hurry and jump on some more advanced techniques.

But what if I want?

Then you either need to have a guide or teacher, or be very attentive to your body.

Yoga - even when we talk about its physical side - is not a competition.

It's a journey - completely individual by nature, which however leads to the universal unity.

So to start properly, you have to understand the limits of your body and mind.

Because when you don't know these limits, you won't be able to go beyond them, right?

We can't cross a border if we have no idea where it is.

So, if you feel that your practice of Mula Bandha makes you constipated, try these:

- Do it less frequently or less intensively. Correct the practice if needed.

- Eat according to your dosha type.

- Add more fiber to your diet - especially in the form of grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.

- Exercise regularly, but without too much strain.

- Follow an appropriate daily routine for eating, sleeping, working and resting.

- Keep your mind peaceful, because a constipated mind leads to constipation in the body.
