YawnHub

Yawning is an involuntary action that helps us feel good. It's social, contagious, and can be completely outrageous. It can even sometimes be perceived as being rude! But at Bensons, we're celebrating yawning and encouraging people to do more of it. After all, a good yawn really can help you feel a whole lot better. 

 

Here in our dedicated YawnHub, you'll find several fun and fabulous different types of yawns. Which yawn is more you? Find out below.

The Cat

First up, we have what we're naming the cat (like) yawn. If you like to yawn with your mouth wide open, making barely a sound, this could be your yawn alter ego. So, go ahead, take a deep breath, open your mouth wide and yaaaaawn in total silence.

The Stretch

If you yawn with a stretched out neck, your head tilted backwards and your arms stretched out, we're describing your yawn type as the stretch. By incorporating several muscle stretches, this feel-good yawn will have you feeling great in more ways than you think too. Take a deep breath in, stretch your neck out, tilt your head back and unwind as you feel this expressive yawn stretch throughout your entire body. Breath out and sigh.

The Mouse

How could this impossibly sweet, almost stifled yawn ever be perceived as rude? If you're a mouse yawner, you're likely a super polite person as even when yawning involuntarily you keep your mouth opening as small as possible so not to disturb anyone.

The Bear

Some yawners really lean into their yawns - and why not? The Bear yawn begins life as a normal yawn, but along the way it is embellished with a weird and wonderful collection of added sound effects! Sound similar? Release your inner beast with a great big bear yawn.

The Liberator

And last but by no means least, we have the liberator yawn. Aptly named thanks to the liberation you'll feel after such a full-bodied yawning experience. Feel this enthusiastic yawn take over your whole body, as it relaxes and rejuvenates you.
