FIND YOUR ROAR: LION'S BREATH

Here Jenny shares one of her all time favourite pranayama (breathing) methods - Lion’s Breath.

This is a brilliant tension releasing breath, especially for the jaw, neck and face and one that leaves you with courage, energy, and laughter! A great way of gaining new power and releasing any frustrations. It is a great practice to let go of negativity and have a moment to yourself where you are allowed to feel a bit silly. Great for the morning or anytime you need a release!

How to:

1.    Start by sitting on your knees, or in a sitting position with legs crossed.
2.   Bring your hands on to rest your knees. Extend your fingers and straighten your arms as you continue breathing.
3.    Inhale through the nose.
4.    As you exhale forcefully through your mouth, make a ’ha’ sound. Throughout the exhale, open your mouth big and stick out your tongue as far as possible towards your chin. Bring the gaze to your third eye at the same time.
5.    Return to normal face position as you inhale again.
6.    Practice for 4-7 minutes, anywhere you want!
