Pranamudras are an ancient practice that has been used in Yoga for centuries. The word "mudra" means "seal" or "gesture," and pranamudras are symbolic hand gestures that are used to direct the flow of prana or life force energy in the body. The idea behind pranamudras is that by using specific hand gestures, one can stimulate and balance the flow of energy in the body, leading to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
