with Angie Tiwari

Welcome back to the Yoga Solutions Podcast! Today, I have a wonderful conversation with Angie Tiwari. Angie is the inspiring founder of Unearthed Platform, a space dedicated to championing South Asian representation and decolonizing wellness, where you can practice with all Indian yoga teachers. 

In this episode, Angie and I delve into the subtle yet profound power of mudras, or hand gestures. We explore how these ancient practices can be a key to unlocking and shifting our energy, helping us manage the tension, stress, and even fear that we often unknowingly carry in our hands. Angie explains how different mudras connect to various energy points and elements, allowing us to either energize our beings or invite a state of calm. We also discuss the deep connection between our hands, our heart chakra, and our overall self-awareness, and Angie graciously guides us through a beautiful mudra practice designed to cultivate unshakable trust within ourselves.

• [00:01:10] Exploring tension in the hands and the transformative power of mudras.

• [00:01:33] Understanding mudras as hand seals and their connection to energy points (marma points).

• [00:04:25] The role of hand awareness in self-regulation and responding to our environment.

• [00:05:26] Angie guides a practice of a mudra for unshakable trust.

• [00:12:03] How to practically incorporate mudras into everyday life for an instant energy shift.

"The different thumb and fingers represent different elements, so we can shift into more of a fire quality and energize if we wanna kickstart our day in the morning, or we can shift into a more calm state if we want to close in the evening."

(On the mudra for unshakable trust) "This is a great one to do if you want to increase your confidence levels, find a deeper level of faith, and connect with your own instinct a little bit more.”
