Chakra bandhasana ladies and gentlemen, that's it right there, bound, solid, and secure...

Have you noticed that most hold the leg above the ankle, above the knee even, (scoff), BELOW the ankle that's what you should be after...and none of this hands wrapped right around the leg, that's just cheating, you want to be aiming at subtlety, the merest gesture, the ankle tendon gently held between the fingertips/nails.

What do you mean it doesn't count

no?

But.......!

Jeez

Anyone for a THREE month Chakra Bandhasana, challenge,.......anyone?

Here's the video anyway, it's coming, gradually, no rush really. I'm more interested at the moment in settling into that final step/brick and exploring the breath, want to get ten long slow breaths there and then twenty-five, worry about catching the legs later.
