What is Mudra

⁣Mudra can be used to signify a gesture, seal, or finger position. With the practice mudra, we are trying to harness energy in our hands and pair it with intention or conscious action. It is believed that our gestures using our hands and fingers allow us to directly influence the energy of the body's elements.

This allows you to honor your physical body, your emotional body, and even your mental body. Yoga mudras encourage the flow and energy of the subtle body, which will help you in your journey within. Subtle can also be translated to "that which is most delicate" or "that which is the most refined."

Even though you might not know what the word mudra means, you're likely more familiar than you think with hand gestures. Much of what we communicate is done using our hands.
