    Yoni Mudra is a hand gesture (mudra) practiced in yoga that involves closing the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth with the fingers. This helps block external sensory inputs and focus inward. The practice induces a state of Pratyahara or sensory withdrawal, which is a preliminary stage for more advanced meditation practices. Yoni Mudra stimulates the nerves in the face, promotes introspection, and can be used in practices like Nada Yoga to concentrate on inner sounds or Kundalini yoga to awaken subtle energies. Regular practice is said to destroy sins according to some yoga texts.

    Yoni Mudra Mudra of the Source

    Yoga Practices

    Yoni Mudra is so called because the practice leads the yogi to a state
    of mind similar to the one experienced in the womb. Yoni Mudra
    involves closing the two ears, the two eyes, the nose and the mouth
    with the fingers. This helps to cut off all the external inputs to the
    sense organs and the gaze of the practitioner is fixed on the inner
    activity. It induces a state of Pratyahara or withdrawal of the senses
    from external events, which is the starting point for higher practices
    of Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.
    The practice of mudra should be taken up only with proper
    guidance. Those suffering from depression or too much introversion
    should avoid this mudra. Also, it is good to do the purification of the
    body through Shatkarmas before taking with the practice of Mudras.
    How to do Yoni Mudra?
    Sit in Siddhasana or the accomplished pose. Siddhasana is
    performed by folding the leg and placing the heel of the left leg

    under the perineum. The right leg can be placed on top of the left
    leg or in front. Women can use the Sidhhayoni
    Close the ears with the thumbs. Close the eyes with the index
    fingers and close the nose with the two middle fingers.
    Close the mouth by keeping the little finger under the lower lips and
    the ring finger above the upper lips.
    This is also called Shanmukhi mudra. In Sanskrit, shad means six
    and mukha means mouth or opening. In this practice the six
    openings (two ears, two eyes, nose and mouth) are closed.
    Make your lips into the form of a crows beak. This is called Kaki
    Mudra and suck in air into the lungs from the mouth. Remember to
    keep the nose closed with the middle fingers.
    Perform Moola Bandha or the Root lock to merge
    the Prana and Apana.
    Close the mouth and exhale the air through the nose. One can also
    hold the breath inside for some time and then exhale the air through
    the nose. This is one round. Practice as many rounds as required.
    If holding of breath is comfortable, then rotation of consciousness
    along the chakras can be practiced with each breath.
    Benefits of Yoni Mudra
    It is said that the pranic energy exits from the extremities, especially
    the hands and legs. The fingers when used to close the eyes, will
    transfer this energy to the eyes. Similarly, the other fingers will
    transfer the energy to other parts of the face. This stimulates the
    nerves and relaxes the muscles of the face.
    Yoni Mudra brings about introversion. It leads the practitioner to the
    state of Pratyahara or the withdrawal of senses from the external
    world. This state is a prelude to the practice of meditation and
    Samadhi.

    Yoni mudra is also used in Nada Yoga, the yoga practice where one
    concentrates on the inner sounds that you hear with the ears closed.
    This practice leads to higher states of consciousness through the
    awareness of subtler and subtler sounds.
    In the practice of Kundalini yoga, yoni mudra is used to awaken the
    kundalini. For this, rotation of consciousness is practiced in Yoni
    Mudra with internal holding of breath.
    According to Gheranda Samhita, the practice of Yoni Mudra destroys
    all sins.
