LION'S BREATH - Relieve Tension in your neck and face with this easy breathing technique

Описание: Hey Guys! Join me for this fun tension releasing Lions Breath (simhasana) pose/breathing technique or pranayama practice. It may look at a little silly, but the benefits are pretty serious! Lions Breath Relieves tension in the chest and face. Lion’s Breath not only stretches the muscles in your face, but it also relieves tension and tightness while improving circulation. It’s an energetic and awakening breath that will also help to ease the mind. Lion’s Breath opens the throat chakra and helps to boost confidence. Like Ujjayi breathing, it’s a warming breath that will increase your internal temperature and better prepare you for yoga asana. An often-overlooked benefit of Simhasana is that it stimulates the platysma, a flat, thin, rectangular-shaped muscle on the front of the throat. The platysma, when contracted, pulls down on the corners of the mouth and wrinkles the skin of the neck. Simhasana helps keep the platysma firm as we age. According to traditional texts, Simhasana destroys disease and facilitates the three major bandhas (Mula, Jalandhara, Uddiyana).
The hands and shoulder blades are sympathetically connected. As you spread the right palm on the right knee, feel how the shoulder blade spreads across your back. Similarly, as you press each palm against the same-side knee, feel how the same-side shoulder blade presses more deeply into the back, helping to lift the heart.
So get a little silly and yes we do look silly doing this pose, and join me!! Let me know in the comments down below what you thought, how you felt during and after.

Peace and Love on your wellness journey
