What are Mudras
Mudras are energized hand or body gestures sometimes referred to as Yoga of hands. The purpose of using mudra is to purify one’s own energy pathways which will help one to advance spiritually and to become more strong and balanced physically.
Mudras are of great importance and images of many great masters are shown with their hands shaped in specific poses to reinforce and underline their significance.
On Christian icons we often see Christ’s hand in a mudra pose, especially in Prana Mudra (Giving Life).
Other familiar mudras include Krishna showing Abhaya mudra (Don’t Fear) or Buddha exhibiting Gyaana Mudra (Knowledge).
Each of the five elements are represented by one of the five fingers. Whenever there is an imbalance in the elements, which often happens, one falls ill. So mudras help to balance the five elements for better health and wellbeing.

By the end of the workshop, the participant will be able to learn 10 Mudras and can use them effectively in their daily practice. Each mudra has its own benefits and has a specific mantra to help dissolve karma and to restore balance and wellbeing. In today’s time and era where there is so much of stress, Mudra is an effective way to release negative emotions and replacing these with positive energy.
There are many kinds of Mudras, Some are performed by practicing yoga asanas (postures) and others by chanting certain mantras (rhythmic chants) such as Gayathri Mantra. Mudras influence the flow of energy within the body at a cellular level, thereby improving one’s health and wellbeing and it can be practiced by anyone and anytime.
Anyone who would like to deepen and go further into their journey of yoga. Mudras compliment yoga and meditation practices with greater energy and strengthen spiritual, mental, emotional links to oneself. This workshop is great for anyone who would like to explore and start a deeper spiritual journey.
Yoga is a complete science of mind, body, and soul.
The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Yuj’ which means to join. Yoga is a means of balancing and harmonising the head, heart and hand. It is a complete science of mind, body and soul, a science of right living and for this very reason, Yoga should be incorporated in ones’ daily lives.
