Test yourself, September, 2002

You are teaching practical aspects of anatomy to a group of experienced hatha yoga teachers. The assignment: Using the postures discussed in the last half (beginning on page 177) of chapter three of Anatomy of Hatha Yoga as a frame of reference, discuss how various postures encourage or discourage ashwini mudra and mula bandha. Then with those principles in mind, do the same thing for postures in chapters one, two, and the first half of chapter three.
