Step to get in the 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.
