Yoga breath

Benefits

Ujjayi has both positive benefits for your physical and psychological health.  More importantly from the point of view of the chakras, this yoga breath enables you to take your awareness deep within the subtle dimensions of your being, deep into your psyche so that you can experience the subtler layers of your being and feel your chakras resonating in your spinal cord.

It is important to understand that Ujjayi enables you to remain conscious as you dive into your psyche, into your subtle body. Most people fall asleep when they close their eyes and attempt to go deep within themselves. Ujjayi breathing overcomes this habit. It also supports the awakening of prana and the systematic purification of the chakras.

Once you get the hang of it, ujjayī seems to be very easy, natural and effortless. It is an incredibly valuable tool that you can use to better manage stress and develop a healthy body and mind. Use it any time you feel stressed, ungrounded or anxious, for example.

Because ujjayī is diaphragmatic breathing that connects the belly and the throat, it has a positive effect on both manipūra, the chakra that controls digestion and vitality, and vishuddhi chakra, which controls the thyroid gland and your metabolism. Please note that all meditation practices activate ājnā chakra, the third eye.

5 important practice hints to master ujjayī pranayama – the yoga breath

  1. Ujjayi is practiced by gently tensing the throat in order to make a very soft sound, like the wind in a pipe, or a baby snoring.
  2. The aim is to make your breath as long, slow, smooth, relaxed and comfortable as possible.
  3. Once you can perform ujjayī there should be no strain of any kind. You will find that you are able to perform ujjayī for 30 minutes without effort.
  4. It is important to initially develop your ability to gently contract your throat while inhaling and exhaling. You can then develop fine control of your diaphragm.
  5. Initially practice ujjayī for a few minutes and then sit quietly for a moment. Then repeat this a few times, relaxing fully between each round. Extend the duration of ujjayī gradually as feels comfortable.
