Shankha Mudra for Reproductive and Prostate Health

Shankha Mudra for Reproductive and Prostate Health

Part of the Yoga Mudra Challenge — experience how daily guided mudra videos with Dr. Juli Kramer support healing, balance, and inner calm.

Duration: 15 minutes

Meaning and Purpose

Shankha Mudra, the Gesture of the Conch Shell, nourishes the reproductive organs and balances the lower chakras. It supports both male and female reproductive health, promotes prostate well-being, and helps regulate hormonal activity. Symbolically, this mudra represents purification and the awakening of creative life force energy.

This lesson features a guided video and meditation with Dr. Juli Kramer. You’ll learn the traditional hand position, explore soothing breath patterns, and connect to the deep stillness that restores vitality and reproductive balance.

According to Yoga Journal, conch-inspired mudras such as Shankha channel energy toward the lower abdomen, supporting the body’s reproductive and hormonal systems.

How to Practice Shankha Mudra

1. Bring the left hand in front of the chest, fingers extended upward.
2. Wrap the right hand around the left thumb, forming a conch-shell shape.
3. Touch the tip of the right thumb to the left middle finger.
4. Hold the mudra at the heart or navel center.
5. Breathe slowly, focusing on the gentle rhythm of the abdomen as you inhale and exhale.

Practice for 10–15 minutes or throughout the guided meditation to encourage calm, grounded energy.

Healing Focus and Benefits

Shankha Mudra harmonizes reproductive energy, promotes hormonal balance, and can help relieve tension in the pelvic area. It supports prostate and uterine health while grounding emotional energy related to creativity and relationships. Energetically, it purifies the body and encourages a sense of sacred renewal.

The Cleveland Clinic highlights yoga’s ability to enhance pelvic circulation, reduce stress hormones, and improve reproductive wellness.
