What are mudras in yoga? Mudras in yoga are symbolic hand gestures or positions that are used to channel energy flow within the body and mind. Derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "gesture" or "seal," mudras are often practiced during meditation, pranayama, or asana to enhance concentration, balance energy, and deepen spiritual awareness. By stimulating specific points in the fingers and hands, mudras help activate energy pathways, harmonize the mind-body connection, and support healing and inner peace.
