Yoga Mudras DVD
Mudra is the ancient Yogic art and science of gesturing and sealing vital
Pranic energies in the human body for health, well being and spiritual evolution.
These are advanced techniques designed to improve neuromuscular coordination,
culture human emotions and still the restless mind. Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami
Gitananda Giri, one of the greatest Yoga Masters of the past century taught
numerous Mudras in the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition and this presentation
takes a comprehensive look at the various classes of Mudras such as the Hastha
Mudras (gestures of the hands), Pada Mudras (gestures of the feet) and Chakshu
Mudras (gestures of the eyes). This presentation is filmed in an artistic
manner with pleasing visuals to go along with the wonderful depth of the
Mudra teachings of Swami Gitananda Girjii. A detailed exposition of the Sparsha
Mudras is also given.
These ten touching gestures are performed by placing
the hands on different parts of the chest to facilitate the flow of Pranic
energy to that section of the lungs in order to produce certain effects
on different parts of the body. These Mudras are especially used to focus
our awareness into the different segments of our lungs while performing Vibhagha
Pranayama, the Yogic sectional breathing. A team of 30 participants from
12 different countries in the age range of 9 to 65 have participated in
the demonstration of these esoteric Mudra teachings.
