Women Fitness|February 2023
In Indian culture and mythology, the Shankh is an auspicious sign and object. The blowing of Shankh denotes a religious event or the opening of a door. The Shankh mudra is a similar gateway to good health. The goal of this posture is to help balance your prana (life energy). This posture helps to cleanse your chakras, open up blockages and enhance self-awareness.
