Intention : breathe and enjoy

I love how this practice makes me feel awesome after doing it, with relaxed and peaceful mood I can enjoy the day and stay focused on what matters most.

Thank you Adriene 🤗😘
See you tomorrow beautiful souls 💚😘🤗
Namaste 🙏

As someone who suffers from anxiety and a continual struggle with worrying about what others think, this pose is such a strengthening boost that helps me with that battle. It teaches me to laugh at myself, (preferably not while in the pose!) and never to take myself too seriously. I have a sore throat this morning too, so it was a go-to for me for that as well! Thank you Adriene for such a valuable class!

I wanted to share. I was watching this and practicing this and I looked down after and noticed my kitten was doing it too! It melted my heart. He was ADORABLE with his little mouth wide open and tongue hanging out!! He was sitting so it even looked like he was in the pose!
Houdini does breath work lol

This is my favorite breath ever for anxiety. Gives me kind of an unstoppable feeling

I love how you give thoughtful options for people with varying ranges of physical ability, your consideration for sharing the benefits of yoga practice with all is really great to see.

Practising lion's breath in The Big Cat Sanctuary in Headcorn, Ashford, UK in summer 2022 right after hearing a mighty roar of a lion. Thanks Adriene, whatever yoga or pranayama practice I need, I know I can always find it here 💕

Second calendar practice for Play day 10. I had never seen this early YWA video.
I have to admit I was distracted a couple times by Adriene's Lion's Breath faces 😝.

I'm calling this pose Ahegao Breath

This is the first time I ever did a yoga technique. Thank you for this. Love the energy and silliness.

when I first started practicing Lions Breath I felt silly and selfconcious, even tho I was still doing by myself. Now I find it enjoying, relaxing and actually a little freeing... Thank you Adriene

[hetidamani]

The practice is amazing for thyroid issues. Loved your effort. Your presence is very calming. ❤

Of all the 'breaths' we do in yoga, I find Lions Breath is the best one for when I am trying to push further in a stretch - it helps release the tension I have holding me back from getting deeper in the stretch. I love this!!

[lonesomedub]

You will never know how much you helped me today

[Beckybluebird]

Getting back to my practice today... mantra today is Let Go.
