  • Another technique for breathing and centering yourself for practice is the Ujjayi Pranayama

  • or Ocean's sound of breath. It's also called powerful breath, warrior breath. There's many

  • names for it. A lot of people refer to it as the ocean's breath. What you want to do

  • and the easiest way to begin learning to do this breath is think of yourself when you

  • inhale, take a nice breath in, and as you exhale, think of fogging a mirror. And you

  • can leave your hand in front of your face, and as you exhale, And feel that air come

  • out. In all yoga practice, we breath through the nose, in and out. So what you need to

  • do is actually close the mouth, so you take a nice inhale in. And as you start this breath,

  • you, it will feel slightly tense, it will feel kind of forced. And the more you get

  • used to this breath, it will become easier. As you learn the exhale part of this breath,

  • then you can incorporate that on the inhale as well. Think of say the word, home to yourself

  • as you inhale.

  • And the more you practice, the easier it'll become to make the inhales as the same length

  • as the exhales. And that's how you do Ujjayi Pranayama.
