UJJAYI PRANAYAMA

 


In Ujjayi Pranayama, the process of Inhalation (breath in) and exhalation (breathe out) are both done through the nostrils. During the process of Inhalation (breath in or Poorak) the “ocean-like sound” is formed by moving the glottis as air passes in and out. The sound is produced because of the friction of air within the throat; a typical sound like the ocean is made.

As the throat passage is narrowed thus, too, is that the airway, the passage of air through that creates a “rushing” sound. The length and speed of the breath are controlled by the diaphragm, the strengthening of that is, in part, and the aim of Ujjayi Pranayama.
