Simhasana (Lion's Breath): Let the Face Relax

A big inhale, then a wide-mouthed 'haaa' with the tongue out. It looks silly — that's half the point. Lion's Breath releases tension in the jaw, face and throat, and children love it.

How to do it

  1. Kneel or sit comfortably and place the hands on the knees.
  2. Inhale deeply through the nose.
  3. Open the mouth wide, stretch the tongue out toward the chin, and exhale with a strong 'haaa'.
  4. Widen the eyes and gaze up toward the eyebrows.
  5. Repeat 3 to 5 times, then relax the face.
Who this is forAnyone who holds tension in the jaw and face.
Take careKeep the exhale strong but not strained. Sit on a chair instead of kneeling if your knees are sore.
