Description
- Ujjayi Pranayama (breath regulating technique) is a soft, whispering breath which you’ll also hear called victorious breath, or perhaps ocean breath. It’s compared to the sound of the wind through the trees or the waves coming to shore.
- This also serves to build heat in the body.
- The lips gently close and although the breath is passing through the nostrils the emphasis is in your throat.
