“Ujjayi is helpful for all ailments that originate from nervousness or chronic stress” – A systematic course in the ancient tantric techniques of Yoga and Kriya by Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
In our series of Ujjayi Pranayama, we are entering the realm of Ujjayi Pranayama from simply Ujjayi Breathing with Ujjayi Level-3 practice.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the classical yoga text by sage Svatmaram explains Ujjayi in four ways where Level -I & Level – II are performed without kumbhak (breath retention) whereas the next two levels – Level III & Level IV are performed with kumbhak and transforms it from a simple breathing exercise to the pranayama practice of Ujjayi.
Check out the embedded video to work on the ‘Pause’ between your inhalation & exhalation with Ujjayi. For detailed write up on Ujjayi Pranayam.
