Mula bandha and Jalandhar bandh are to perform concurrently during the retention to unite Prana and Apana Vayu, around abdominal or navel area. Applying the uddiyan bandh is only aimed to push up both pranas Vayu (Prana and Apana) into the Sushumna Nadi.

Mula bandha: Sit in Padam asana or Siddha asana and breathe easily and when you want to do advanced pranayamas. Mula bandha practice during advanced pranayama exercises as pulling up the Apana Vayu by contracting anal sphincter muscles and then abdominal muscles. 

Uddiyan bandha: After exhaling, pull the stomach up and then back towards the spine and keep sitting in the Siddha asana with both bandhas ( Mula bandha and Uddiyan bandh; in advanced practices Jalandhar bandha also apply)

Jalandhar bandha: while retaining the breath, bend the head forward so that the chin almost touches the pit and lift the head when exhaling.

After one attaining proficiency in asanas, bandhas and pranayamas can do mudra efficiently.
