The word \u2018yoni\u2019 means womb. The yoni is symbolically in yoga and Indian philosophy the divine womb (Brahmayoni) or the cosmic golden womb (Hiranyagarbha) through which the whole universe of the cosmos has been born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoni Mudra allows abstraction or withdrawal of the senses. The senses that normally face the world face inwards to feel the universe inside. Yoni Mudra is a powerful yoga gesture to calm the mind and reduce stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A method of practicing Pratyahara or abstraction, Yoni Mudra, is directed to avoid the conscious mind requesting perceptions of the senses. This special method is inspired by a tortoise, which pulls down its limbs in its shell the moment it notices a threat, so as to save power. The psycho-physical approach to acquiring and cultivating neutrality in the presence of unsuitable environments is best achieved through Yoni Mudra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoni Mudra is a <a href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/meditation-yoga-poses\/\">meditation gesture<\/a> in yoga. It assists in fostering relaxation and <a href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/yoga-for-better-focus-and-concentration\/\">enhancing concentration<\/a> as well as developing inner harmony. The word yoni, or womb, is a symbol of creation and the life principle. The practice can assist one to relate with the inner self, which brings about balance, grounding and mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#Historical_Context_Within_Yoga\" >Historical Context Within Yoga<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#How_to_Practice_Yoni_Mudra\" >How to Practice Yoni Mudra?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#Benefits_of_Yoni_Mudra\" >Benefits of Yoni Mudra<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#Emotional_and_Mental_Advantages\" >Emotional and Mental Advantages<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#Physical_Benefits\" >Physical Benefits<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#Spiritual_Benefits\" >Spiritual Benefits<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#Who_Would_Benefit_from_Yoni_Mudra\" >Who Would Benefit from Yoni Mudra?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/aatmyogashala.com\/blog\/benefits-of-yoni-mudra-and-how-to-do\/#1_People_who_need_to_have_emotional_balance\" >1.
