Next Series of Live Online Pranayama Classes
The Great Seal - Looking at the Practice of Maha Mudra
A mudra "seal", "mark", or "gesture"; are symbolic or ritual gestures or poses in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Maha means Great, we come to the Great Seal.
Most mudras are performed with the hands and some involve the entire body. Hatha yogic mudras are generally internal actions, involving the pelvic floor, diaphragm, throat, eyes, tongue, anus, genitals, abdomen, and other parts of the body.
In hatha yoga, mudras are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while in a seated posture, to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of prana and thus associated with the consciousness in the body.
In this series, Stephanie will be looking into Maha Mudra via pranayama practices.
One online Pranayama practice per week for 8 weeks. Each class is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Students need to be experienced and regularly practising pranayama as taught within the Iyengar system.

Live Online Classes
When you purchase the recordings for classes that are scheduled and yet to be held (ie. those listed below), you will receive an email with the Zoom details required to join the live online classes. This will include:
A Zoom link.
Zoom Meeting Id.
Zoom Password.
Please record Zoom details from the registration email, as class reminders are not sent.
Students that are able to attend the live online classes will use these details to join the classes at the scheduled time.
Since many of my students are not in the Australian Eastern time zone, they will not be attending the live online classes and will participate using the recordings only.
If you need to check the class time in your time zone, please use the time zone converter found here.
If you need any further clarification, please email Stephanie at info@stephaniequirk.com.au.
