List of mudras (yoga)

This is a list of Yoga mudras. In yoga, mudrās are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while seated in Padmasana, Ardhasiddhasana, Sukhasana or Vajrasana pose, to stimulate different parts of the body and mind, and to affect the flow of prana in the body. It is believed that certain mudras have certain effects on the body, and are thus used for healing purposes. Research studies have been conducted that show a change in energy fields in persons practicing mudras for long periods of time.
