The Powerful Benefits of Simhasana (Lion Pose)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

“The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, a roar of freedom.” ~ Osho<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Simhasana<\/strong> is a Sanskrit word in which \u2018Simha\u2019 means lion, and \u2018asana\u2019 means pose. This pose literally imitates the lion\u2019s roar and differs from any of the other poses. It is a very easy Hatha Yoga asana that can be done by any age group, from children to elders. Despite being a not-so-familiar pose, many established yogis practice Simhasana for spiritual upliftment, physical fitness, and emotional balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This asana is usually performed early in the morning or at any other time of the day on an empty stomach. The health benefits of Lion Pose are particularly interesting and extraordinarily beneficial for the throat, face, and respiratory organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Do Simhasana (Lion Pose Yoga)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Kneel on the ground and keep some distance between the knees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lift your right ankle up to place it behind the left ankle. Your perineum should push down on top of the heels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Keep your palms over your knees and slowly exert pressure against them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Inhale, and stretch out your tongue to the chin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tighten up your throat muscles and keep your eyes open during this asana.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Exhale through your mouth with a powerful sound of \u2018ha\u2019, as the deep breath should come from your stomach, washing up the throat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Try to focus between your eyebrows for \u2018mid-brow-gazing\u2019, or focus on the tip of your nose as both theories are practiced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Roar and switch your leg to repeat the asana.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
