Ujjayi Pranayama, also known as the “Victorious Breath.

How to do it:

Get Comfortable:

Seek for a quiet spot to sit or lay down, being as comfortable as possible. Close your eyes, if that is your preference.

Take a Deep Breath In

: Deeply and slowly inhale air through your nose. Feel your abdomen and lower ribs stretch evenly out as you breathe in fully.

Constrict Your Throat:

When you inhale, gently press the back of your throat so that it feels like as if you’re misting a mirror using your breath. This gives the sound of ocean and also the noise is similar to a “hissing” sound.

Feel the Ocean Sound

: The sound you need to emulate should be the sound of ocean waves . It’s like a whisper trapped in the depth of your chest.

Breathe Slowly and Smoothly

: Keep doing this kind of breathing, letting your air in through the nose and out through mouth with the slight constriction in the throat. Ensure that the inhale and exhale are slow, constant and calm.
