It is believed that through mudra practice, you can awaken the seeds of these states within you. It is the  # citta-bhavana method , or ” cultivate a specific state of mind .  “
Mudras are found in the art and rituals of many sacred traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and hatha yoga.
The Mudras are a symbolic gestures carried out with the mind, hands, feet, mouth, eyes or body. They are widely used in Yoga and Indian dances, revering various aspects of Hindu deities and nature.
The specific origins of mudras are unknown, but each gesture is believed to be the natural outward expression of an enlightened inner state. Many of the most well-known mudras represent the qualities of a bodhisattva , a yogi warrior who fights without fear of ending the suffering of all beings.  
One can think of mudras as the sign language that springs from an open mind and an awakened heart.
The mudras contain a symbolism that aims to unify dualities, such as:  uniting individual consciousness to cosmic consciousness; the solar prana to the lunar prana; matter to the spirit, etc. In the context of Hatha Yoga , mudras are elements that support your practice.
In Gheranda Samhita, classic text of Hatha Yoga, we find that “the useful process that collaborates in the practices of pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi is called mudra” (Souto, 2002). 
The power of these seemingly simple gestures goes far beyond adding and easing focus to your practice. Practicing mudra during asana, meditation, Pranayama or kirtan (singing) will help you calm the gossip of your mind in the background.

Yoga is one of the most common classes or workshops that can be seen in a gym, and thanks to its practice it will be possible to relax the body so that muscle fatigue from exercises is minimal.

However, muscle stress can occur not only in this way, but also due to the accumulation of stress due to work stress, bad postures, etc.
