Warm the voice
Humming, sighing and gentle neck rolls loosen the throat and jaw before a single roar is attempted.

Simhasana Yoga
The lion's pose: wide eyes, open mouth, a roaring exhale that shakes loose everything stuck in the jaw, throat and chest. Serious relief, unserious faces.
What this class entails
Simhasana — lion pose — pairs a kneeling seat with an exaggerated exhale through a wide-open mouth. Around it, Jamine builds a full practice: neck rolls, jaw release, shoulder openers and playful core work.
Desk workers love it for undoing eight hours of clenched jaws and shallow breathing. You'll leave pink-cheeked, loose-shouldered and grinning — it is impossible to roar and stay stressed.
What's included
- 50-minute guided session with face, voice and breath work
- Neck, jaw and shoulder release sequence
- Lion-breath technique card for home practice
- Ginger tea and a very cheerful room
A typical session
2
Roar & move
Three rounds of lion's breath inside a kneeling flow, then standing poses that keep the chest wide open.
3
Soften down
Quiet seated breathing and a long savasana. The contrast after all that expression feels wonderful.
Questions
Nervous about roaring in public? Everyone is, for exactly four minutes. Then nobody wants to stop. hello@amberleafyoga.com.
Book This ClassYou can start with a silent exhale and join the sound when ready. Most people find the noise is the best part by week two.
Sit this one out if your throat is raw; the exhale work is vigorous. Come back next week — your mat will be waiting.
Completely. The kneeling base is stable, Jamine offers chair options, and nobody is watching anyone else mid-roar.
