Forms, meanings and applications of hand mudras (seals) were studied by Sedalia yoga students on Valentine’s Day at State Fair Community College. Three members of the Sedalia Area Yoga Teachers Association shared a favorite hand mudra during the free hour offered by the college.
Robyn Wadley, who leads yoga at the Studio at Total Fitness Gym, said she loves the open and meditative energy of Dhyana, or Yoga Mudra. She suggested finding and nurturing our inner beings while practicing the hand placement.
Audrey Conner, a Body Retreat 2 yoga teacher, demonstrated the Kali Mudra of courage and inner strength. She incorporated it into a focused Warrior series.
Irene Renauld, who instructs yoga at SFCC and Body Retreat 2, showed Chin Mudra. Chin Mudra’s benefits include relaxing the neck and muscles. It also is said to aid an individual in connecting to his or her higher self.
Yoga teachers and venues can be found on Facebook in the Sedalia Area Yoga Teachers group.
