There is much more to yoga than meets the eye. While the practice of yoga means asanas and breathing practices to many, there is a lesser known, subtler, ancient and an independent branch of yoga: Mudras.

Based on the principle of Ayurveda, yoga mudras are understood as a method to heal. The Sanskrit word mudra is translated as gestures. Mudras usually involve simple hand positions. Mudras used in combination with yogic breathing exercises, enliven the flow of prana (Energy) in the body, thereby energizing different parts of the body.

Diseases are caused due to an imbalance in the body, which in turn is caused by lack or excess of any of the five elements. Our fingers have the characteristics of these elements, and each of these five elements serves a specific and important function within the body. The fingers are essentially electrical circuits. The use of mudras adjusts the flow of energy – affecting the balance of air, fire, water, earth, ether – and facilitate healing.

Mudras create a subtle connection with the instinctual patterns in the brain and influence the unconscious reflexes in these areas. The internal energy is, in turn, balanced and redirected, affecting change in the sensory organs, glands, veins, and tendons. Yoga mudras are practiced by sitting cross-legged in Vajrasana or in the Lotus Pose, or even by sitting comfortably on a chair. Ideally, Ujjayi breathing is done when practicing most mudras. Take at least 12-15 breaths (4-5 Minutes) in each yoga mudra and closely observe the flow of energy in the body.

Yog Mudras can have a massive impact on our over all well being and is used for healing diabetes, improve hair growth, improve metabolism, remove body pain, increase our concentration level, increase energy level, deepen our meditation and yoga practice, and many many more.
