Bandha
Mulabandha, of Mula means root, origin and bandha control. Mulabandha, consists in gaining the control of the pelvic floor and of the abdomen by Uddiyãna not to be confused with Uddiyãna Bandha (which is also taken after having expired, but only with the breath held, the lungs empty and the abdomen pulled in).
For the beginner, it consists in, after having completly exhaled, closing the anal sphinter very tightly and pulling this feeling upwards towards the center of the abdomen, then holding the lower abdomen flat (Uddiyãna). This must be held throughout the practice. If Mulabandha is lost, it is necessary to wait until the end of an expiration to take it again.
Shri K. Pattabhi Jois saya it takes about five years of practice to get the control of Mulabandha.
Ujjãyi
The type of breathing that one uses during the practice is called Ujjãyi prãnãyãma. The type of breathing is obtained through the nose while slightly opening the region of the larynx. This breathing is free but the inspiration and expiration should take the same time .When one is in a difficult posture, the breathing acclerates which is natural. The student shoutd try to progressively and softly lengthen the time of inspiration and expiration, relaxing at the same time.
Drishti
This is concentration of the gaze on a specific point while in a posture. There are nine different drishti. In other words, there are nine different directions for the gaze while in those postures which are held for several breaths.
The first sloka in the Yoga Korunta lists the 9 drishti: " Nava drishti praquir titaha "

Vinyasa
Yoga Korunta is a dynamic yoga. It is characterized by mouvements that link the postures one to another synchronically with the Ujjãyi breathing. The vinyasa, is a bit like a garland (mãlã) of postural flowers that are joined together by the breathing thread.
The vinyasa is a group of movements taken from the first salutation to the sun "from Mysore".
There are 3 types of vinyasa :
