Physical visible, as well as invisible to the eyes. Mudras and bandhas are a fundamental form of the yoga practice. A mudra is a symbolic or ritual gesture. Some mudras involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and fingers. A mudra is a spiritual gesture and an energetic seal. A mudra is a indication and a body language.
