Yoga Lions Pose
(Simhasana)
The Yoga Lion Pose is a deep and powerful seated forward bend that opens the hips and groin. This pose is named for the lion because it is said to resemble the lion’s posture when it is about to pounce on its prey.
To practice the Yoga Lion Pose, sit on the floor with your legs crossed in front of you. Place your hands on the floor beside you, and press down into your hands to lift your torso up off the floor. Draw your navel in towards your spine and tilt your chin up towards the ceiling.
Inhale and extend your left arm up towards the ceiling, and then exhale and reach your right arm forward. Keep your spine long and your shoulders relaxed as you sink into the forward bend. Hold the pose for a few breaths, then release and switch sides.
The Yoga Lion Pose is a great way to open the hips and groin, and it can also help to relieve tension in the lower back. This pose is a great addition to any yoga practice, and it can also be practiced as a standalone pose.
