Two powerful and easy-to-use yoga mudras to help build immunity!
Prana mudra: increases prana (energy) in the body and builds immunity:
- Bring together the thumb, ring and pinky finger
- Extend the other fingers
- Practice using both hands
Linga mudra: this mudra awakens a fire of resilience within and helps burn away illness and toxins. It also aids the body with circulation:
- Interlock all fingers together
- Join the thumb and index finger together encircling the thumb – which is poking out
How do mudras work?
Mudras – also known as “seals” or “gestures“, activate specific pathways of energy (prana) in the body.
In these fast-paced times, it feels like we need all the help we can get. Why not try mudras? Personally I like to use them during my meditation practice and simply hold them for as long as is comfortable.
You may like to read my blog on ‘What are Mudras?‘ to learn more about these beautiful, helpful and ancient hand gestures.
There are some great resources available on the Yoga Journal website, you can also find many more mudras – and how to perform them on both my Instagram and Facebook pages.

Please note: mudras are simple ancient tools for exploring energies of heart, mind and body and are not presented here as an alternative to professional medical advice.
