Y-28. LION POSE
Print

Sit in the kneeling position. Place your hands palms down on your knees with the arms straight. Now exhale all the air from your lungs, open your mouth and stick your tongue out and down toward your chin as far as you can.

Your eyes can be either focused on the center between the eyes or the tip of the nose. Or they could be closed very tightly creating pressure all around the eyes.

When you feel that you need to inhale, do so and relax. Do it 2 to 5 times.

Contraindications: High blood pressure, detached retina

Benefits: Relaxes all the muscles of the face, especially the tongue. Keeps the face young looking by preventing wrinkling or skin.
