Ujjayi breath is also known as Ocean breath or Victorious breath, which helps to clear toxins out from the bodily system. A simple and effective breathing technique that can be practiced anytime and anywhere.

Regular practise of Ujjayi Breathing has mounting benefits:

• Helps with insomnia, pain reduction and migraines
• Internal purification and detoxification through the heat generated from the breathing
• Increased concentrated and focus ability
• Strengthen the lungs and respiratory system
• Good remedy for thyroid problems
• Minimise distractions and induce a more grounding and centering effect
• Calms and relaxes the body and mind

Getting started:

• Sit in crossed legged pose or lie down on your back comfortably
• Start by inhaling and exhaling slowly through your mouth (not through your nose), creating a ‘ahhhhh’ sound
• Focus your awareness on the back of your throat
• You will notice a slight vibration or a rubbing sensation coming from your lungs
• Continue this for a few rounds until you are completely familiar and at ease with the practise
• Repeat using the same technique but this time with your mouth closed and breathe through your nose instead

Important note: please check with your doctor or the Yoga Teacher for any pre-existing medical conditions before commencement of any Yoga poses or exercises.
