Short and healing practice

Beautiful! Thank you, Trisha!

Thanks, Laura! About the mudra: it's a combination of Varuna and Ravi mudra. Combined I'm this way, the mudra aims to balance energy: it brings balance to the five elements in us and to the male & female in us all. It brings energy, promotes overall health and helps to rest & restore. x Irina

Aw... thank you, Anne! Happy to hear you enjoyed the practice, the walk in the snow AND my hair. ;-) Sending a big hug your way. x

Happy new year to you too, Melinda! Namaste. x

Thanks Irina for the additional information to my question about the mudra, it is beautiful!

Hi Erika, Thanks for your kind words and your question. The mudra aims to bring balance to the female and male energies in us, which is why the mudra is slightly different for men and women. Hope this answers your question. A little bit more about the mudra: it's a combination of Varuna and Ravi mudra.

Dear Vivienne, I'm sorry to hear about the glaucoma diagnosis. Because it's always hard to give personal advise without actually meeting you in person & knowing more about you, your health, your experience with yoga and without seeing the way you move / align your body, I feel it's best to discuss this question with your MD and/or experienced yoga (therapy) teacher. A very general advise for most, if not all, people with glaucoma is to skip inversions - down dog & standing forward bends included. If you follow classes where inversions are part of the practice, you can always skip that pose and do another pose instead (such as warrior poses, triangle, most restorative poses...). As always, listen to your body and modify your practice when you need or want to. Oh, and yes, this practice is inversion free indeed. Sending healing vibes your way. x

Thanks for your kind words, Kate! They make my heart smile. I hope you feel better soon. Sending healing vibes your way. x Irina
