Ashwini Mudra
Meaning:
Ashwini Mudra is a yogic practice that involves the contraction and relaxation of the anal sphincter muscles, similar to the motion of a horse (the word "Ashwini" refers to a horse in Sanskrit). It is named after the horse because it is said to resemble the powerful, rhythmic movement of a horse's anus during galloping.
Definition:
Ashwini Mudra is a powerful practice aimed at strengthening the pelvic floor, improving the digestive system, and stimulating energy flow throughout the body. It involves consciously contracting the muscles around the anus, holding for a brief moment, and then relaxing them. This action is repeated several times in a session, and it is considered a key practice for cultivating control over the body and mind.
