Top 10 Yoga Mudras and Their Benefits

What are Mudras in Yoga?

What are the Pranas in Yoga Mudra?

In Ayurveda, the body is believed to be composed of five elements (vayus) - fire, water, air, earth and space. According to ancient theories, a body needs to have a balance of all these elements to be healthy. If any of these elements weaken or strengthen against the others, it will create an imbalance in the body.

Each of these five elements is present in every human's fingers. Thus, each human finger represents an element, and according to Yoga philosophy, prana (life force) runs for each element through every finger. Individuals can easily manipulate their prana to regain their body's balance.

Before knowing the pranas, one must know about the five different elements. The five fingers can manipulate the five elements, and these are:

Prana Representation
Thumb Represents fire
Index Finger Represents air
Middle Finger Represents space
Ring Finger Represents earth
Little Finger Represents water
