(oo-jy [rhymes with “pie”]-ee)
ujjayi = to overcome, to be victorious
Step by Step
Ujjayi is particularly recognized for the soft hissing audio the breather makes by guiding her inhales and exhales over the back of her throat. To find out how, try this.
Inhale via your nose, then exhale gradually via a wide-open mouth. Straight the out-going breath slowly throughout the rear of your throat with a drawn-out HA noise. Repeat several times, then shut your mouth. Currently, as you both inhale and also exhale with your nose, guide the breath once more slowly across the back of your throat. Preferably, this will produce, and also you should listen to, a soft hissing sound.
This sound, called ajapa concept (pronounced ah-JOP-ah mahn-trah, the ‘overlooked rule’), serves 3 objectives: it aids to slow the breath down (which is exactly what we want for Ujjayi), to concentrate awareness on the breath and prevent your minutes ‘roaming,’ as well as to regulate, by constantly checking as well as readjusting the consistency of the audio, the smooth flow of breath (one more vital element of Ujjayi).
Start with 5 to 8 mins of technique, gradually enhance your time to 10 to 15 minutes. When finished return to normal breathing for a minute or more, after that rest in Shavasana (Remains Pose) for a few minutes.
Ujjayi is the foundation of lots of other strategies noted on this website, e.g., proportion breathing, svara yoga exercise, digital pranayama, retention in addition to the two bandhas. Keep in mind that Ajapa Mantra isn’t really used when doing digital pranayama.
