Coordinated and presented by Yoga Vibhushan Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani. US$ 20 MUDRAS: Yogic gestures of the hands, feet & eyes. Mudra is the ancient Yogic art and science of gesturing and sealing vital Pranic energies in the human body for health, well being and spiritual evolution. These are advanced techniques designed to improve neuromuscular coordination, culture human emotions and still the restless mind. Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri, one of the greatest Yoga Masters of the past century taught numerous Mudras in the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition and this presentation takes a comprehensive look

at the various classes of Mudras such as the Hastha Mudras (gestures of the hands), Pada Mudras (gestures of the feet) and Chakshu Mudras (gestures of the eyes). This presentation is filmed in an artistic manner with pleasing visuals to go along with the wonderful depth of the Mudra teachings of Swami Gitananda Girjii. A detailed exposition of the Sparsha Mudras is also given. These ten “touching gestures” are performed by placing the hands on different parts of the chest to facilitate the flow of Pranic energy to that section of the lungs in order to produce certain effects on different parts of the body. These Mudras are especially used to focus our awareness into the different segments of our lungs while performing Vibhagha Pranayama, the Yogic sectional breathing. A team of 30 participants from 12 different countries in the age range of 9 to 65 have participated in the demonstration of nearly 40 of these esoteric Mudra teachings. US$ 20 BODY TALK: Yogic Mudras of the human body. The Yogic art and science of Mudra is a means of non-verbal communication that is subtle and refined. It enables us to communicate intrapersonally with our inner self, interpersonally with others and transpersonally with the Divine. This presentation showcases important Yogic Mudras that can be done using the whole body as well as the head, neck and face. Different Mudras are used in various Hatha Yoga sequences and Kriyas to conserve and enhance the energy flow in the body as well as help attain a

state of meditation in action. Concentration is improved and the mind settles into the body better when such Mudras are used. It also adds to the inherent benefit of the Asana or the Kriya. Important Yogic gestures of the head, neck and face are depicted with marvelous visuals of an international group performing the Brahma Mudra being the highlight. Various Mudras of the Hatha Yoga tradition are demonstrated with detailed explanation of the methods and benefits of each Mudra. Mudras “gesture” the energy necessary and “seal” that otherwise intangible and illusive moment, fixing it for all time in our heart and nerves, bones and blood, mind and body, soul and thought – creating a solid foundation upon which to build a spectacular healthy, happy and spiritual life. The Mudra “seals” into our very

cells that call to a Higher Life which can never again be denied! US$ 20 YOGA FOR BREATHING DISORDERS: This presentation is a boon for patients of various breathing disorders such as Bronchial Asthma, Emphysema and Bronchitis. It offers an integrated approach of Yoga practices designed to eradicate the root cause of their suffering. The core of this presentation is an excellent depiction of the Hathenas, a unique set of Hatha Yoga practices from the Gitananda Yoga Tradition. These ‘Forcing Techniques’ help us to breathe consciously into different areas of our lungs by means of physical posturing coupled with deep and

controlled breathing. The Hathenas develop strong, healthy, and robust lungs and help expand our lung capacity while developing efficient and healthy breathing patterns. Important Pranayamas and Yogic relaxation are also introduced as most modern disorders have a strong psychosomatic, stress-related origin. These practices will add a new dimension to your present practice of Yoga. US$ 20 YOGA STRESS BUSTERS: Modern life has become a ‘rat race’ and none is spared this whirlpool of stress. Frequent stressful experiences lead to the

failure of our homeostatic, self-regulating mechanisms causing disease, premature aging and early or sudden death. Stress weakens our immune system making us more vulnerable to infection. Numerous psychosomatic diseases are caused, aggravated or worsened by stress. These include a wide variety of conditions ranging from the common cold to peptic ulcers, headaches, backaches, diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, insomnia and hypertension. Yoga, a wholistic science of life, deals with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Various aspects of Yoga help in the prevention and management of stress. This presentation highlights various Asanas, Pranayamas and Kriyas that produce a strong and resilient body capable of withstanding any amount of stress. Different Yogic ‘Stress Relievers’ unique to the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition of Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri are also introduced to help relieve our ‘pent up’

emotions as well as ‘temper’ our reaction to stressful situations. US$ 20 All Inquiries to: Yoga Jivana Satsangha, C/o.
