Merudanda Mudra
Merudanda mudra is a simple yoga hand gesture used in meditation or pranayama that helps the yogi focus on the breath, among other benefits. Merudanda mudra resembles a thumbs-up gesture. The name comes from the Sanskrit, merudanda, meaning “spine” or “spinal column”; and mudra, meaning “seal” or “gesture.”
Merudanda mudra is typically practiced while seated in sukhasana (easy pose), although any comfortable seated position works. The thumbs of each hand are extended, while the other fingers curl into the palm. The hands then rest on the thighs or knees with the thumbs pointing up.
