Anjali & Beyond’s final class highlighting Vishnu Mudra was really a full on pranayama workshop. Here’s the playboard breaking down the etymologies of various pranayama techniques and how to do them…which we did along with a whole lot more! Look forward to more of this in the no si distant future.🖖🏽

Another view of a pose we didn’t quite get to in class… Will we ever?? 🕊️

A huge takeaway from these mudra practices has come from seated spinal twists. All of these poses are founded by configurations of the legs and activated by distal actions of the arms to bring a person into the twist. But what happens when we take the arms away? In a simple cross-legged twist driven by one hand pulling against opposite knee while the other pushes into ground, can one bring those hands to center and stay in the twist? And what’s even holding us there when we do?

VISHNU MUDRA will be the central feature of our final Anjali & Beyond session this Sunday at 10AM. Will there be a little pranayama? No…there will be a LOT of pranayama. See you there!

Adding to tonight’s Mudra a few other poses inspired my Ganesha of Obstacles” 🐘 7PM

11/11/2025

Knowing Ganesha as “Remover of Obstacles” is itself a bit of an obstacle🐘

In meditating on this Mudra, I don’t want to be sitting there thinking “I have this obstacle! Get it outta my way!”🐘

So the obstacle that Ganesha is truly presenting is to not focus on the obstacle at all🐘

On Wednesday night, we will practice the paradox of Ganesha! 7PM at Studio 34🐘

A primer from today’s Anjali & Beyond practice.

We played with the Gunas in every pose, usually with some version of Chjn/Jbaba Mudra at play.

There’s so much more that we talked about, and the conversation keeps on coming!

CHIN MUDRA👌🏽can add direction and intention to a pose. Here, in Viparita Virabhadrasana (Reverse Warrior Pose), the the Mudra reaching over the back leg has components that inform the larger pose: Fingers spreading inspire side flexion of ribs while connection between thumb and forefinger activates shoulders to support the pose. There are also layers of meaning in this Mudra that apply to the core of yoga’s philosophy: Those three fingers are the Gunas (Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva, aka matter, energy, and light), and the union of the other two bring together Ātman (individual consciousness) and Brahman (universal consciousness). There’s a lot to unpack here, and we will be unpacking Sunday at 10AM!👌🏽
