Mudra of the Month Tutorial

This year (2024), OmBody Massage & Wellness Studio has offered a “Mudra of the Month” to support our community’s practice. A mudra translates as “gesture” or “seal,” and can involve the whole body or specific parts of the body, like the hands.

Mudras have specific energies and benefits, which can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. In addition, there are mudras which are appropriate for the general public, as well as mudras that must be guided by a teacher and/or with contraindications for certain medical diagnoses.

It’s a good idea to research any mudra you’re interested in practicing … or find a qualified teacher … not only to avoid any medical contraindications, but more importantly to honor the rich cultures from which these mudras originate and are still practiced today.

The Mudra of the Month for August at OmBody is called Ushas Mudra. This hand gesture is a wonderful mudra for the majority of us in the general public. It’s a simple hand gesture that anyone can learn and enjoy its benefits.

Check out this tutorial from my YouTube channel on how to practice Ushas Mudra this month! I look forward to hearing how it goes for you! Contact me anytime via my Contact Page.
