How to practice the position of Lion? This asana, also called simhasana, has many benefits (for example gives us courage) and is not difficult to do!

We talked last week of breathing (link yogic breathing) and how important it is to empty your lungs completely before you inhale clean air … that is, with the position of the lion we throw out all the stale air and new incameriamo!

The lion is the King of the Savannah, thanks to the qualities of strength, courage and wisdom, is a solar animal … who wouldn’t want to look like?

The location of Simhasana has many benefits, will help us strengthen our self-confidence and to develop the courage, is particularly suitable for those who stutter. Not only! Helps remove respiratory disorders (nose and throat), has benefits on halitosis and cleans your tongue.

But as you practice the position of Lion? If you have knee problems can be seated, but the ideal is to kneel on the ground, placing the right instep over the back of his left ankle. The perineum is resting on the right heel and hands, with the palm facing downwards, rest vigorously on his knees.
As when the House cat stretch by pulling out their nails, palms open and shows its claws just like a lion!

Now breathe in through your nose, open your mouth and exhale as you pull the tongue bringing it towards your chin, open your eyes and gaze spalancandoli between the eyebrows or the tip of the nose, contract the muscles of the front of the throat: as you exhale the sound issue “haaaaa”, trying to “ROAR like a lion.”

Inhale and exhale again by issuing your roar for two or three times, then swap legs (this time it will be the left heel to be above right) and transformed again into a lion roaring twice or three times!

… At the beginning you may feel a bit strange and this position can evoke hilarity! But you will see results! 😛
