Etymology
Jālandhara bandha comes from Sanskrit: जाल Jāla, web[4] or net[5] and (Sanskrit: धर) dhara, "holding".[6] Bandha (Sanskrit: बंध) means "bond; contracting".[3]
Description
It is performed by extending the neck and elevating the sternum (breastbone) before dropping the head so that the chin may rest on the chest. Meanwhile the tongue pushes up against the palate in the mouth. [7]
