Mudras are Yogic hand gestures that create and seal in subtle energy within us. Mudras convey a Bhava (feeling/atttitude/approach) and awaken a Shakti (subtle spiritual energy) within.

In this course, Ram will help us get insights into what is a Mudra. He will take us through the roots of Mudra practice, share different varieties of Mudras including some healing Mudras. He will also guide us through some Mudra meditations.

This course is a mix of theory and practice. Please be prepared to meditate by dressing comfortably, having your favourite meditation cushion/Yoga mat near by.

What will you learn:

Please note that studying with Ram is not academic exercise but rather a spiritual journey. While the course is structured well, it is a good idea not to get attached to it as Ram is guided more by his intuition of the group energy in teaching.

About the Teacher: Ram Vakkalanka

Ram was born and brought up in India, steeped in the Vedic tradition of life.  Vedic Philosophies (such as Yoga, Vedanta, Tantra), Vedic Sciences (such as Vedic Astrology, Ayurveda) and Vedic practices (such as Meditation, Nada Yoga, Mantras, Mudras, Yantras) form the core of his teachings. Ram shares the authentic wisdom of the Rishis from the ancient texts of India in an easily-understandable language, with a sense of humor. He simplifies – but doesn’t water down – even the most complicated concepts of Vedic and Tantric philosophies, making them easily accessible to everyone. Ram has a very informal and touching style of teaching and effortlessly blends philosophy, story-telling, relevant examples and humor.
