The yoga bewitches many people the plastic technicians and grace, but the movements which not always are carried out look organically and appropriate because of what many teachers refuse them on the occupations. We will also talk about one of such poses further. Simkhasana, or lion pose: than it is useful and how it is correct to carry out it? Let's understand together.
Short description and its action
The equipment is based on work of breath, vocal chords and mimic muscles of the person and correctly to execute it, for a start it is necessary to relax the body completely.
As soon as you reach desirable relaxation, make a sharp breath and exhale through the compressed throat so that from a throat the lingering sound ha escaped. Together with this action it is necessary to strain eyes (making buldge out them) and as much as possible to put out tongue. It is very important that throughout all your exhalation the language constantly lasted down, but not just was in the put-out state.
The yoga is perceived by many people as the tool for fight against irritability, change of subconsciousness and vital programs.
The lion pose in yoga belongs to poses for treatment of a throat, strengthening inflow of blood to a neck, she cleans language, helps to struggle with upper respiratory tract infections, strengthens salivation, saves the person from an unpleasant smell from a mouth and even improves hearing and a voice. Usually this equipment is carried out or right after awakening or after cross a threshold of the house or before a responsible public statement.
Important! When performing Simkhasana's on public (for example, in the hall of occupation yoga) it is useful to clean teeth previously.
Advantage of exercise
Each equipment in yoga sets specific objectives for itself, and at their correct performance the person manages to reach physical and spiritual pleasure.
In particular, thanks to a lion pose you will manage:
- to get rid of diseases of a nasopharynx and an unpleasant smell from a mouth (if you already have a tonsillitis, then for more notable effect Simkhasan needs to carry out not less than 10 times a day, but to cope much more simply with a task when you only felt small tickling in a throat);
- to tighten a face form and to get rid of small mimic wrinkles (also regular performance helps to eliminate the second chin and to improve complexion);
- it is excellent to train the vocal chords by improvement of blood circulation in a throat and to eliminate many defects of the speech (for example, stutter);
- to take away from itself negative energy as at an exhalation of people gets rid of the collected harmful effects;
- to strengthen muscles of a stomach, hands, legs and a neck;
- to remove stress and to calm down.
Agree, rather big list of advantages to such simple occupation therefore, probably, it makes sense to pay attention to similar practice.
Whether you know? Practices in the American army of the yogi as an alternative to morning exercises.
Correct equipment
The technician Simkhasana provides several options of performance: classical, with the facilitated movements and also more complicated option for those who practice yoga for a long time and habitual exercises seem too simple.
Classical performance
The classical pose of a lion from a disease provides performance of all movements from initial Vadzhrasana in a throat (we sit down on knees and on heels, we put palms on knees and, straining, we part fingers aside). Knees can also be taken away from each other at an angle in 45 °, well or just cross anklebones and sit down on them.
Important! When performing the key equipment it is necessary to move a body forward and to lean on hands.
At the next stage, having taken the described position, extend a neck and press a chin to a breast. Strain eyes and try to look with all ferocity of a lion forward, looking out a little from under a forehead.
Close eyes and make a sharp breath, and exhaling, widely open a mouth and, with the tongue hanging out far down (try to make it on the maximum distance), strain all body, in particular having paid attention to a neck and a throat. After an exhalation it is necessary to hold the breath for 4–5 seconds and again to repeat exercise several times. On an exhalation you can throw out a body forward and make the growling sound, completely imitating a lion, but the head cannot be inclined.
With relief
In this option you, in fact, carry out the same movements that were already described above, and the difference consists only in convenience of the reached position. So, if for want of habit you cannot just sit not only with turned in, but also with the crossed legs, then leave shins direct and sit down on them, without crossing a heel.
It is also possible to put the put blanket under anklebones that will increase comfort. Alternatively it is possible to sit down in Turkish and also to put hands on knees. After tension of language and a throat, carrying out the head serpentine movements, it is necessary to press a chin to a breast, to roll up eyes and as much as possible to put out tongue.
Fingers on hands have to be in the divorced situation at this time. As well as in the previous option, on an exhalation it is necessary to make uterine roar, and vocal chords should not take part in it. After a breath the serpentine movements by the head repeat, and after them the exhalation follows.
With deepening
If the previous options seem to you too easy, we suggest to try profound Simkhasana whose technology of performance provides a starting position of Padmasana (lotus pose).
Further all operations are performed almost similarly: put hands on knees and, extending a neck up, deeply inhale. Then, exhaling, rise by means of hands by knees and, leaning on the hands put ahead, cave in in a breast.
Throw back the head back and having as much as possible rolled up eyes, strongly put out tongue, making the same uterine sound of Hkhkhkhkhaa. Carry out all actions 2–4 times, with each option of a rebaptism of legs. For bigger effect you can carry out everything in dynamics.
Whether you know? The yoga is capable to lower alarm and to increase mood of the person that in many respects a merit of the smooth and rhythmical weakening movements.
Typical mistakes
It is quite probable that, having faced for the first time yoga, you will not be able precisely to give a lion pose, but with small practice surely everything will turn out. Let's give some of the most typical mistakes that you knew what it is worth paying attention most of all to.
So, you will not manage to achieve desirable result if:
- Carrying out the throat lock, you pulled language insufficiently (the sufficient tension of a zone is impossible). As a result of a tension you have to feel specific compression of a throat (slight irritation) and space tension under language.
- In the course of rotation you strongly throw back the head and by that you do not allow to work neck muscles (for normalization of this tone it is necessary to extend constantly vertebras in the direction up from the top). The key movement is not bending of a neck here, and its tension.
- You take out the head forward or strongly you throw back it back in the course of growl. Most often, such performance of Simkhasana testifies to the blocked human right on expression of the opinion, thoughts or is even right beautifully and to speak loudly. Therefore for success of business it is necessary to realize the specified stereotype at the level of a body and to allow itself not only to hold directly the head, but also to make inarticulate, loud sounds. Usually at this moment there is also a relaxation of muscles of a neck.
Important! Being clamped thus, the person risks to injure vocal chords and mucous drinks as growl is carried out by throat. At the same time during the forming and relaxation of cervical muscles the vocal chords will not experience excessive strain, and air will be able freely to leave the upper airways.
- At a language vysovyvaniye outside you fall short it that is also a psychosomatic problem. In most cases it only expectation of assessment from outside, that is fear to seem nonideal and ridiculous.
- You pull fingers insufficiently on hands because of what the necessary tension of muscles of a scapular and humeral zone and a neck is lost.
All these defects have the consequences which are expressed not only in lack of the expected result, but also in more serious problems: for example, falling short language, you badly study its root and the lingual tonsil located there. The detained air is blocked in alveoluses and prevents realization of the mechanism of stimulation of immunity of a bronchial tree.
Contraindications
In general the described equipment rather simple is also easily perceived by a human body, however if it has serious problems in a neck (for example, tumors of a throat, a throat), then it is better to find other exercises once again not to strain already sore point. Consultation of the doctor or the yogoterapevt will be required also at restrictive diseases.
At the correct performance of Simkhasana and lack of the specified contraindications the effect will be exclusively positive.
