About This DVD: Mudra is the ancient Yogic art and science of gesturing and sealing vital Pranic energies in the human body for health, well being and spiritual evolution. These are advanced techniques designed to improve neuro muscular coordination, culture human emotions and still the restless mind. Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri, one of the greatest Yoga Masters of the past century taught numerous Mudras in the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition and this presentation takes a comprehensive look at the various classes of Mudras such as the Hastha Mudras (gestures of the hands), Pada Mudras (gestures of the feet) and Chakshu Mudras (gestures of the eyes). This presentation is filmed in an artistic manner with pleasing visuals to go along with the wonderful depth of the Mudra teachings of Swami Gitananda Girjii. A detailed exposition of the Sparsha Mudras is also given. These ten “touching gestures” are performed by placing the hands on different parts of the chest to facilitate the flow of Pranic energy to that section of the lungs in order to produce certain effects on different parts of the body. These Mudras are especially used to focus our awareness into the different segments of our lungs while performing Vibhagha Pranayama, the Yogic sectional breathing. A team of 30 participants from 12 different countries in the age range of 9 to 65 have participated in the demonstration of nearly 40 of these esoteric Mudra teachings.
