This workshop involved interactive and experiential sessions, which were thorough, informative and well explained, centring around basic mudras either with or without meditation.

Through him, I came to know about the vastness of Mudras , as mentioned in Hath Yoga Pradipika and other yogic texts – Mudras are almost an independent branch of yoga.

He also shared, how these Mudras,which are basically a seal of subtle energy , carrying and creating equilibrium in in the  right and left sides of the body , denoting the masculine and feminine energy. They affect 72,000 nadis and 8 chakras, which in turn work wonders even in bed-ridden patients, if done regularly over a period of time and with sufficient perseverance.

It was indeed a great experience to have different Mudras like Jnana Mudra, Prana Mudra, Apana, Vayu, Shanmukhi, Garuda, Sarpa and all the other various mudras practised with this facilitator in such a meditative atmosphere.

He also nicely explained how one can take charge of one’s life by taking small fractional hand gestures with or without meditation. One does not need to maintain an empty stomach condition, as is required for yoga & Pranayama practices.

In the last session, he also shared mudras related to specific ailments like High BP, heart problems, diabetes, kidney related problems and various digestive issues.

Last but not the least; Amit brought a great deal of presence and energy to the sessions, which greatly elevated everyone present.

Thanks Amit, James and the NAMAH team for bringing and sharing such an important topic.

Looking forward for an advanced Mudra & Pranayama sessions in the near future…
