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.

Teacher:
Ram Vakkalanka was born and brought up in India, in a family dedicated to Yogic style of living. He grew up studying Sanskrit language, BhagavadGita, Upanishads and chanting Mantras as a lifestyle. In his teens, Ram started studying music through the Sitar, eventually leading to Nada Yoga. Simultaneous to Yogic education, Ram also pursued mundane education, amassed a few qualifications in Finance, worked in upper echelons of Management in the corporate world in Singapore, Africa, USA and Canada.
It was in Canada, Ram met his spiritual Guru and that meeting changed his life completely. In 2010, Ram left the corporate world and dedicated his life to spreading the sublime philosophy of Veda and Vedic sciences such as Astrology and Ayurveda. Ram has a global audience and shares his deep knowledge of Yogic philosophy, Sanskrit, Nada Yoga as well as Vedic sciences such as Ayurveda and Astrology. His teachings are simple but profound, filled with current examples and humor.
So far 22 CDs in three languages, one DVD and an online course about the origin and evolution of Yoga of Ram’s works have been published in three languages. He appeared on the TV as well as Radio on numerous occasions.
