Mudras are hand gestures that seal prana into specific channels within the subtle body. They are potent spiritual tools that can enhance purification and good health. With regular practice, mudras can help to restore physical, mental and psychic balance.
In this course, Swami Saradananda introduces you to the basic energetic concepts of working with mudras. Each class promises to be unique in its practical as well as theoretical approach. You will learn about the subtle energies in the hands and each finger, and will be encouraged to experience them with your own hands.
This course is based on Swami Saradananda’s book “Mudras for Modern Life” and card set "Mudras for Modern Living".

“I have really enjoyed the Mudras course. It has given new impetus and focus to my pranayama and meditation practice and I am also regularly using what I learned in my meditation teaching. I recommend the course as a thorough grounding in both theory and practice”. - Anthea Sweet; London; yoga teacher; Yoga Sports Coach; Director of Academic Faculty, The Institute of Yoga Sports Science
This is a fun and highly informative class with lots of “hands-on” practice (pun intended)! I really enjoyed reading the book with all of the beautiful images and practicing together in class, as well the home practice. An All Encompassing Mudras Course with a well learned practitioner, teacher, author and yogini. 5 stars! - Anna Winkler; yoga teacher; director of Shakti Yoga & Living Arts, Maplewood, NJ
This course is a great opportunity to get to know the hand mudras in an efortless and yet profoud way. The correspondng homework gives a chance to get very familiar with them and expericence the promised effects on your own leaving you with a great set of mudras you know off-hand. - Yulia Dashevka, GERMANY
I am extremely grateful to Swami Saradanandaji for her teachings about Mudras. I started incorporating Mudras in my Yoga classes and the results are wonderful with the clients. Swamiji explained the small details also in a perfect way where a layman can also understand. If anyone has a chance to learn from Swamiji, please don't miss it. Even for personal knowledge it is very very useful. Thank You swamiji for your teachings. I will always be grateful to you. - Bhanu Soni, Yoga Instructor, Goa
Swamiji's 'Mudras for Modern Life' book has been my go to place for building on my experiences with the wonder of hand gestures and their subtle and potent work.
It was a delight to be able to attend a small group online course to extend my experience and practice further with this dear teacher and guide. Grateful and recommend for yoga practitioners and teachers alike. - Lindsey Porter @yoganuu - Yoga Tutor & Practitioner, Scotland
During the course Swami Ji introduced techniques to make us more aware of our hands, fingers and thumbs and how to keep them supple and healthy ready for mudras. She insightfully introduced many mudras and the reasons and benefits for using them. Now I have a sequence that I use for my meditation practice, if they were not there I would feel deeply that something was missing. This course is a great opportunity to get to know the hand mudras in an effortless and yet profound way. The correspondng homework gives a chance to get familiar with them and experience the promised effects for yourself, leaving you with a great set of mudras. - Mangala-Nicky Zammit, yoga teacher and trainer Kathmandu
The Mudras for Modern life course was an enriching and informative journey. It provided me with a strong foundation in mudra practice, explored their multifaceted applications, and equipped me with practical tools to integrate them into my yoga classes. Swami Saradananda is a very knowledgeable teacher. Her teachings are clear and practical. I particularly love the practice diaries she sends after each class. Those diaries support and motivate me to practise on daily basis. I highly recommend this course to any yoga teacher or serious practitioner seeking to expand their knowledge and empower students to explore the subtle, yet potent world of mudras.

In all the meditation training I’ve undertaken, it just didn't make sense to have no specific instruction to the placement of hands and fingers 'except relax your hands on your lap and clasp your fingers'. Your training has been the 'missing piece' I needed. I now feel I have more knowledge and experience to include Mudras in my life and I'm going to enjoy continuing to learn and practice. - Margaret, massage therapist and healthcare administrator, Lancaster
