Simhasana (Lion Pose)

Sit in Vajrasana and spread your knees.

Move the weight of your body on your thighs and knees.

Your spine should be straight and as relaxed as possible.

Then, by bending forward, place your hands on the ground with your fingers facing in the direction of your body.

Now inhale and close your mouth.

Open your jaw as wide as possible and bring your tongue out with a forceful crisp “”haa”” sound as if a lion is roaring.

After roaring hold the pose for 20 to 30 sec.

To come back to a normal position, take back the tongue into your mouth, remove your hands from the knees, and stretch your legs.

Repeat this process about 4 to 6 times.
