And now for a yoga mudra. Viewed by many to be a symbol of yoga it is a mudra or spiritual gesture combined with a yoga posture. In our case the posture will be a forward bend and the spiritual gesture will be a hand gesture. You see your hands are instrumental in how you interact with the world. Now you truly have more than the whole world within your grasp. You see the universe is truly at your fingertips. Your hands are the gateway to the universe and, in turn, the gateway to how you connect with the energies within your being. The various hand postures channel the flow of prana or life force within oneself.
