What is Ujjayi Pranayama ? or Ujjayi Breathing <\/strong><\/h3>

The word “Ujjayi<\/strong>” is from the Sanskrit prefixes “Uj<\/strong>” and “Jay<\/strong>“.\u00a0 Thus, Ujjayi simply means “Vijay<\/strong>” i,e, “One who is victorious”.\u00a0 Thus Ujjayi Pranayama means “Victorious Breath”.<\/p>

Ujjayi Pranayama<\/a> is practiced to control your breath. Ujjayi Pranayama is done to control the respiratory system of the body. This is also known as Victorious Breath in English. While practicing this pranayama, a sound like seawater comes, that’s why it is also called Ocean Breath Pranayama. This Pranayama causes hot air in the body and it helps in getting the contaminated and viral substances out of the body.<\/p>

In this pranayama, breathing is done only through the nose. Due to the small respiratory tract of the throat, the air goes slowly in and out, so while doing this pranayama, a sound like a sea generated.\u00a0 Many serious diseases can be avoided through the regular practice of UjjayiKriya Pranayama. It can be practiced in three ways – standing, lying down, and sitting.<\/p>
