| '''''Uḍḍīyana Bandha''''' ([[Sanskrit]]: उड्डीयन बन्ध), also called '''abdominal lock''' or '''upward lifting lock''', is the abdominal [[Bandha (Yoga)|bandha]] described and employed in [[hatha yoga]], in particular in the [[nauli]] purification. It involves, after having exhaled all the air out, pulling the abdomen under the rib cage by taking a false inhale while holding the breath and then releasing the abdomen after a pause. The process is repeated many times before letting the air into the lungs, resuming normal breath.<ref>[http://www.yogamag.net/archives/1981/fjune81/udd.shtml Uddiyana Bandha] by Dr. Karl Nespor, in [[Yoga Magazine]], a publication of [[Bihar School of Yoga]]</ref><ref>[https://www.yogateket.com/blog/how-to-do-uddiyana-bandha-kriya How to do Uddiyana Bandha] From Guy Powiecki from tradition [[Swami Kuvalayananda]]</ref>
