From expressive politicians to serene yogis, our gestures say more than words.
When I discovered mudras — the hand positions used in yoga and meditation — I wanted to understand why they matter. I love having a reason behind what I do, and as a yoga teacher, it’s important for me that you have one too. That’s why I wrote my latest blog about mudras.
I’ve mentioned them briefly in my classes, but since not all of you attend the same sessions, sharing this knowledge through a blog made sense to me.
I also know that some of you might not be on a spiritual journey, or maybe your approach to yoga is more physical — and that’s totally fine. Neuroscience actually helps explain why yogis and public speakers who use mudras. So next time you practice one, you’ll understand why you’re doing it.
Neuroscience gave me the answer: your hands talk to your brain.
They can shift your emotions, improve focus, and even calm your nervous system.
In my latest post, I share how I use mudras in my own practice (and in class), and what both yoga and science reveal about their incredible power.
Take me to the blog...
