Ujjayi

Ujjayi is a breathing technique used in yoga that involves gently constricting the back of the throat to create a soft, whispering sound as you breathe in and out through the nose. This controlled breathing helps to focus the mind, increase internal heat, and maintain steady energy during practice. It promotes mindfulness, deepens relaxation, and enhances physical stability by regulating the breath. Ujjayi is often called "victorious breath" and serves as a foundational tool to improve concentration and endurance in yoga, as well as to cultivate a sense of calm and balance throughout your practice.
