Mantras are considered as an important part of Ashtanga Yoga. When you recite mantras, the energy channels of the body open up, and you become more reception to the universe. It also aids one to focus the mind on the yoga practice. When you recite mantras, your stored emotions are released and you get the full benefits of the asanas.
Mudras are nothing but gestures, which you make with your hands and fingers mostly. There are nerves that pass through the fingertips, and each one is connected to a specific organ. When you press the same, you are actually providing therapeutic healing to those body parts.

In Yin Yoga, you will discover three essential bandhas that harness subtle energies. These bandhas aid in breath retention, allowing for prolonged posture holding. They promote tranquility and composure throughout your Yin Yoga practice, while also facilitating the smooth flow of Prana.

The three bandhas in Yoga are:

• Mula Bandha (Root Lock)
• Uddiyana Bandha (Abdominal Lock)
• Jalandhara Bandha (Chin Lock)
• Maha Bandha (Great Lock)

The teacher generally sets a goal for the class, which you have to accomplish. You will get adequate guidance in the sequence from a trained yoga expert at Shree Hari Yoga School.
