This pose you are unlikely to perform in the group classes of yoga, as it is not "general development", but the most that is, the target. By practicing the pose of a lion in yoga, one can forever be cured of sore throats, respiratory diseases, bad breath.

It should be clarified: the pose of a lion or simhasana is not needed for people who do not suffer from the aforementioned ailments. It is very useful in angina, but if you can not "boast" of its presence, it is better to spend time profitably by doing other asanas.
Technique of execution
So, let's not be unfounded, let's do the lion pose.
Accept a stable posture, such as sitting in Turkish, or, for more advanced trainers, you can sit in a pose of half-lotus. You should put your hands on your knees, firmly lower and open your fingers. After that, take a deep breath and forcefully begin to pull the tongue down on exhalation. This creates a particularly strong tension in the throat, which contributes to the increased blood supply of this zone. The chin on the delay should be pressed to the chest.
So, they took a pose with open fingers, lowered their heads and pressed their chin to their breasts, closed their eyes. We inhaled and, on exhalation, we pulled the tongue out and pulled it down to the chin.
In this case, you need to pay attention to the following subtleties:
- look, with an extended tongue directed from under the brow;
- breasts bend;
- Shoulders laid back;
- exhalation, to enhance the effect, you need to do with sound, imitating the growl of a lion;
- Each muscle of the body strains on exhalation and relaxes on inspiration.
You can simplify the exercise by doing it sitting on a chair. This will be very useful for those who have already taken themselves into a group of contraindications to simhasana - in joint diseases, their poor mobility, knee injuries.
For example, in a bodyflex, the lion's posture is performed standing, or on the half-bent legs, with hands on the hips.
The lion pose is a very specific exercise in yoga, which can really help in the treatment of diseases here and now. To get rid of bad breath, you do not need to practice yoga diligently for decades, just do the simhasana daily for several weeks.
