Mudra*

Melissa rocked this class for me. I was there to take photos and I asked her ahead of time to do some really cool yoga stuff. Well, she did. This is Gyan Mudra.

Mudras are basically energy connections we make between the physical body and the subtle body. The subtle body being where our prana, our life force, resides. For the most part mudras are connections of the fingers and hands although there are postures that are mudras as well.

Different mudras bring about different results. There are mudras for energy, mudras for patience (I use that one a lot and it's thumb to middle finger in case you're needing it) and so on. Gyan mudra, index finger to thumb, helps our concentration and connects us to our wisdom and knowledge. That wisdom and knowledge that we are one with the source, we are divine entities and we are pure light and love.
