Yoni Mudra

The Yoni mudra can be described as a gesture that allows a person to get detached from the chaos of the outer existing world.

Yoni means uterus or womb and this gesture is named the Yoni Mudra, because the person who practices it regularly has no external contact with the world, pretty much like a baby in the uterus.
