Mudras & Mandalas
Mudra meaning “seal” or “closure” in Sanskrit are hand gestures to direct the flow of energy within the body. This fun and easy practice is often incorporated into the meditations. They allow us to dive in just a bit deeper while working on mind/body coordination.
Mandala, means “circle” in Sanskrit and metaphorically a universe, environment or community.
