Do you know about the incredible practice of mudras? Better yet, do you know how mudras can lift your energy and deepen your yoga practice?

At one point or another you’ve probably heard a yoga teacher say during class, “now bring your hands to a prayer position.” You were doing Anjali Mudra and you might not have even known it! ?

This beautiful mudra means “to salute” or “to offer” in Sanskrit and is often associated with gratitude, humility, and a reunification of the right and left sides of the body. Whether you practice Anjali Mudra in front of your heart or try it behind your back (like this awesome picture of Olivia!) we hope it adds a grounding element to your flow ???

??To practice: Bring both hands to touch so your fingers are pressed against each other and your fingertips are pointed up to the sky. Try not to press too hard into your palms so that you can allow a little space between your lower knuckles. Think of it as a flower getting ready to bloom.
