Air
Position (Vayu Mudra)
relates to the air
element. It is great for the Vata (air) body types and reduces any
constrictions in the body by reason of excess air in the body.
Starting Position: Keep your body calm
and relaxed.
Method: To
perform Air Position, Bend your
index finger and press it with your thumb while keeping other fingers straight.
Just fold the index
finger, and press the second phalanx bone with the tip of the thumb, and the
tip of the index finger should touch the base of the thumb. Press
down on the index finger to your level of comfort; this gesture is intended to
relax not strain the joint. Ensure that the remaining fingers remain straight
and relaxed.
