Yoga Pose of the Day: Simhasana


I'm every bit as vain as Jack Lord. It's difficult to imagine the circumstance under which I'd allow myself to be photographed in this yoga pose!

It's not exactly a yawn, but it looks like one. You actually exhale audibly and extend energy outwards. It's one of the few poses done with an open mouth.

(And I'm pretty sure that I've used it before to indicate boredom, another possible rerun. Actually, in the Shambhala lineage of Buddhist meditation, the phrase "cool boredom" is sometimes used. But there's no explicit physical pose associated with that one...other than sitting.)

Peace out.
