We have three easy mudras for your practice to bring calmness, energy and a no-fear attitude to your life!
WHY MUDRA YOU ASK?
Mudras are hand gestures that have been used for thousands of years in the Yogic tradition to provide certain types of energy flow to the brain. This creates patterns in the brain that help to balance and redirect energy to our sensory organs, tendons and gland veins.
Practice these mudras with deep yogic breathing for as little or as long as you like.
