Full Moon in Leo: Lion’s Breath—A Bold Breathwork Practice for Courage & Expression
When the Full Moon in Leo rises, it invites us to step into our authenticity, embrace our voice, and release inhibitions.
Leo rules the throat chakra, making this Full Moon an ideal time to clear blocks around speaking your truth.
One of the most powerful breathwork tools for this moment is Lion’s Breath—a dynamic and empowering breath practice that activates your inner fire, clears stuck energy, opens the throat, and invites bold self-expression.
What is Lion’s Breath?
Lion’s Breath (Simhasana Pranayama) is a powerful breathing technique that combines a forceful exhale with an audible roar. It’s known for:
Releasing tension from the body and mind.
Activating courage and confidence.
Opening the throat chakra for authentic self-expression.
Letting go of stagnant emotions through breath and sound.
How to Practice Lion’s Breath
Find a comfortable seated position, either cross-legged or on your knees.
Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your lungs completely.
Exhale forcefully through your mouth, sticking out your tongue and making a "haaa" sound—like a lion’s roar.
Engage your facial muscles, widening your eyes and fully expressing the release.
Repeat 3–5 times, tuning into the sensations of liberation and empowerment.
When to Use Lion’s Breath
Before speaking your truth or expressing yourself boldly.
When you need to release frustration, fear, or self-doubt.
As part of a Full Moon ritual to let go of what no longer serves you.
Anytime you want to awaken your courage and vitality.
Lion’s Breath is an invitation to own your voice, embody your power, and let your inner lion roar. Try it tonight under the Full Moon and feel the shift within!
