Based on the principle of Ayurveda, Yoga mudras are stated as a healing modality. The word mudra is a Sanskrit word (translated as a gesture).
A mudra is the easy hand position. Mudras used in combination with yoga breathing exercises enliven the flow of prana in the body, therefore energising all parts of the body.
When a finger signifying an element is brought in direct contact with the thumb, that element is brought into balance. Therefore the sickness caused by the imbalance is cured. Mudras start electromagnetic currents within the body which balance several constituting elements and restore fitness or well-being. The joining of fingers brings a result on the human body.
