The lineage of Yoga Mudras Vigyan touched Meera’s life and altered her practice so profoundly she knew the next step was to start sharing her love and experience through her teachings. Originally learning Mudras in India, Meera has taken her passion for teaching yoga and her fascination for the ancient healing practice to all those wanting to learn. 

 

The first experience with Mudras left Meera totally captivated and entranced with their power. She was travelling in the Himalayas and was prone to headaches at the higher elevation. She finally confessed to her teacher that she had been suffering with a headache for several days. Her teacher told her to put her fingers in a specific position and hold it and in 20 mins would start feeling some difference. She initially shrugged it off, thinking it would never help, but all the same held her fingers in the position with nothing to lose. Within minutes she could feel the relentless pain in her head lessen to the point where eventually it was gone.

 

The Sakalya Mudra workshops are a three part study. You can take one or all three, but there are no requirements to take another segment if you feel complete with solely one. 

 

The three part study is based on the ancient practice of Yoga Vigyan, a separate branch of Yoga which uses finger postures. 

 

Mudras (meaning “seals” or “gestures”) date back to Vedic Times and were first mentioned in the Vedas, one of Yoga’s sacred texts. They were used to convey deeper truths, instil relaxation, enhance deep meditation, and to heal on many levels. Mudras were also used as a symbol of wisdom and compassion which we can see with many representations of Buddha and Hindu Deities. 

 

Mudras were used as a way to attract cosmic energy and activate higher states of consciousness. This separate branch of yoga was also used as one of the many healing modalities of ancient yogis. They understood that our hands were a source of tremendous power, and considered the hands sacred.

 

Hands are so much more than just functional. Our hands are the command centre and energy map of our health and consciousness. Every point on the hand corresponds to a certain area of the body and particular meridian, that is responsible for our general wellness, along with our emotional and spiritual health. 

 

With the practice of Mudras, we use our fingers and hands to effectively talk to the body. When making meaningful connections by curling, crossing, stretching, and touching the fingers and palms, we can effectively talk to the body and mind. The position the hand takes is called a Mudra, and is a technique for giving clear messages to the mind-body energy system.
