Tiger breathing-
This breathing technique is practiced in the pose and stance of a tiger breathing and it executes the movements of a tiger breathing, so therefore the name, tiger breathing. The practice draws air into all three lobes of the lungs, helping to expand the breathing capacity, and at the same time releasing tension in the spine and surrounding tissues.
How to do.
Sit in vajrasana(sit erect with the buttocks resting on both the heels and palms resting on the thighs).
Lean forward and place your hands flat on the floor in line with the shoulders with fingers pointing forward. Your arms, thighs, and heels should be about one shoulder width apart. Your arms and thighs should be straight and perpendicular to the floor.
Now you are in a position where your palms are pressed on the ground and you are standing on your knees.
While inhaling, raise your head and look at the ceiling. At the same time, depress the spine, making it concave.
Exhale and arch the spine and bend the head downward, bringing the chin towards the chest.
This completes one round of tiger breathing. Repeat the practice for five more rounds.
