This really is classic! For those of you who have never experienced the awkwardness of a teacher explaining this in a yoga class... here ya go: The technique is a drawing up of the muscles of the perineum, in front of the tailbone at the base of the spine. This energy lock then awakens the mooladhara (or root) chakra, arousing powerful energy.
"Once control over the practice has been achieved, we can begin to slowly awaken mooladhara chakra and the kundalini shakti which lies within it. Then we may enjoy the bliss which arises from the union of prana and apana, nada and bindu, the union of the formed with the formless."
