Event Details
Mudras are hand gestures which alter mood, attitude and perception, and which deepen awareness and concentration.
They provide a means to access and influence the unconscious reflexes and instinctive habit patterns. Each mudra has a different effect on the body, mind and energy. The aim is to create fixed, repetitive postures and gestures which can bring the practitioner out of instinctive habitual patterns and establish a more refined consciousness.
In this workshop you will learn different mudras, their effects and how to best use them for your own practice.
Your teacher: Mayavan is a dedicated teacher who spend many years in serious practice and service to the community.
